Donald C. Stockbarger (October 19, 1895 – February 23, 1952) was an American physicist known for his contributions to experimental methods in crystal growth. He is best remembered for refining the technique developed by Percy Williams Bridgman, thereby co-naming the Bridgman–Stockbarger method—a process widely used in growing high-quality single crystals for semiconductor and materials science applications.
