He is principally known for his work on the origin and nature of itinerant <a href="/facts/Ferromagnetism/fH3HFnSl">ferromagnetism</a> (the type of ferromagnetic behaviour associated with pure transition metals like cobalt, nickel, and iron), including the collective electron theory of <a href="/facts/Ferromagnetism/fH3HFnSl">ferromagnetism</a> and the <a href="/facts/Stoner_criterion/U8btNVwa">Stoner criterion</a> for <a href="/facts/Ferromagnetism/fH3HFnSl">ferromagnetism</a>. Stoner made significant contributions to the electron configurations in the <a href="/facts/Periodic_table/umdGIfUb">periodic table</a>. </p>
