Ralph Kronig (10 March 1904 to 16 November 1995), later known as Ralph de Laer Kronig, was a German physicist noted for the discovery of particle spin and for his theory of X-ray absorption spectroscopy. His name is attached to the Kronig-Penney model, the Coster-Kronig transition and the Kramers-Kronig relations. He was born in Dresden to German parents, Harold Theodor Kronig and Augusta de Laer, and received his primary and high-school education there. He then went to New York City to study at Columbia University, where he received his PhD in 1925 and became an instructor in the same year and an assistant professor in 1927. He died in Zeist in 1995 at the age of 91.
