Carl Ludwig David Friedrich Heusler (1 February 1866, Dillenburg – 25 October 1947) was a German mining engineer, chemist and metallurgist. He discovered a special group of intermetallic alloys now known as Heusler alloys, which are ferromagnetic though the constituting elements are not ferromagnetic.
