Abstract: Michael Pollak, a professor emeritus of physics at the University of California, Riverside, died on 22 March 2019 at home in San Luis Obispo. At an afternoon tea gathering at Bell Labs in 1959, Mike and one of us (Geballe) learned from Anderson that he had been analyzing the impurity wavefunctions in silicon being mapped out by George Feher with his newly developed electron-nuclear double-resonance scheme. Mike and Geballe measured the frequency-dependent conductivity with a series of properly doped samples, and with Mike's experimental skill we found convincing evidence. [Extracted from the article]
