1932S6207Berlin:: Julius Springer 1932. 1932. 8vo. Pages 348-365. Entire volume: vii 846 pp. 17 figs. Navy cloth gilt spine. Blind-stamp of the Carnegie Institution of Washington Mount Wilson Observatory. Fine. FIRST EDITION. "The period 1923-1933 marks the peak of Stern's contributions to physics. Shortly after assuming his post at Hamburg on 1 January 1923 he set out to organize a laboratory specially equipped for molecular-beam research and to devise a program for conducting this research which was executed to a large degree with remarkable success. . . . The program was concerned with demonstrating the wave nature of particles - a revolutionary assumption introduced in 1924 by Louis de Broglie that became the foundation of modern quantum mechanics. . . . The significance of the work on the wave nature of particles is similar to that of the Stern-Gerlach experiment: each provided unambiguous direct and thoroughly convincing proof of revolutionary concepts introduced into the foundations of physics. These experiments were essential for the acceptance of new ideas that had previously been regarded with considerable skepticism." DSB. DSB XIII pp. 40-43. Julius Springer, 1932. hardcover
