"John Allen"Bio:
(1908 - 2001)
DOI: 10.1098/rsbm.2023.0021
John Frank Allen, the most senior of low-temperature physicists, died on 22 April 2001 near St. Andrews, Scotland, from age-related complications. Jack, as he was commonly called, was a physicist of many accomplishments, but none more remarkable than his discovery of superfluidity and the fountain effect in helium-II, the phase of liquid helium-4 below 2.17 K. The importance of this discovery has received much recent attention in connection with the discovery of superfluidity and Bose–Einstein condensation (BEC) in the condensates of dilute atomic alkali gases.
