Alexander Grigorievich Stoletov (Russian: Алекса́ндр Григо́рьевич Столе́тов; 10 August 1839 – 27 May 1896) was a Russian physicist, founder of electrical engineering, and professor in Moscow University. He was the brother of general Nikolai Stoletov.

Biography

Alexander Stoletov defended his doctoral dissertation in 1872 and became professor at Moscow University a year later.

After defending his dissertation he became a renowned scientist world-wide. He attended the opening ceremony of the physical laboratory in Cambridge in 1874, and represented Russia at the first World Congress of Electricity in Paris in 1881, where he presented his work on links between electrostatic and electromagnetic values.

Contribution to science

His major contributions include pioneer work in the field of ferromagnetism and discovery of the laws and principles of the outer photoelectric effect.

Achievements of Alexander Stoletov include:

Magnetism (1871–1872)

Photoelectric effect (1888–1891)
