John C. Mallinson (30 January 1932 – 24 December 2015) was a British physicist who made significant contributions to the understanding of magnetism and magnetic recording.[1][2][3][4] He is perhaps best remembered for his theoretical work on structures with one-sided magnetic flux.[5] Their use is exemplified in the Halbach array and in the familiar refrigerator magnet.
