Herrick Lee Johnston (March 29, 1898 – October 6, 1965) was an American chemist, best known for his work in cryogenics.
Johnston was born on March 29, 1898 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, the sixth child of Rev. Edgar Francis Johnston and Adlelide Sarah Simpson.[1]
He obtained his Ph.D. from the University of California, Berkeley, in 1928 with a thesis on "The entropies of nitric oxide and oxygen at low temperature as bearing on the third law of thermodynamics".[2]
