Bemærkning John Clarke Slater (1900 – 1976) was an American physicist.
He received his Ph.D. in Physics from Harvard in 1923, then did post-doctoral work at the universities of Cambridge and Copenhagen. On his return to USA, he joined the Physics Department at Harvard.
In 1924, whilst in Copenhagen, Slater co-authored a paper with Bohr and Hendrik Karamers on the work that others dubbed the Bohr-Kramers-Slater (BKS) theory.
In 1930, he became Chairman of the MIT Department of Physics. During World War II, his work on microwave transmission was of major importance in the development of radar.
