19266060Berlin: Springer 1926. First edition. First edition. "By including the spin property of the electron Heisenberg and Jordan obtained perhaps the greatest triumph of matrix mechanics: they were able to derive all observed phenomena connected with the anomalous Zeeman effect" Rechenberg. This success validated not only the new quantum mechanics but also the highly controversial concept of electron spin discovered by Uhlenbeck and Goudsmit in the previous year. Hardcover. EXPLANATION OF THE ANOMALOUS ZEEMAN EFFECT. <p>First edition of the explanation of the anomalous Zeeman effect on the basis of matrix mechanics. "By including the spin property of the electron Heisenberg and Jordan obtained perhaps the greatest triumph of matrix mechanics: they were able to derive all observed phenomena connected with the anomalous Zeeman effect" Rechenberg p. 211. When an atom is placed in a magnetic field its spectral lines split into a series of equidistant lines - always an odd number - whose separation is proportional to the field strength. This the normal Zeeman effect was explained in 1916 by Debye and Sommerfeld in terms of the 'old' quantum theory: the splitting was due to the interaction between the magnetic field and the orbital magnetic moment of the electrons in the atom. However there is also an anomalous Zeeman effect observed particularly in atoms with odd atomic number in which the lines split in a more complex fashion. "During 1920-24 many physicists attacked the problem of the anomalous Zeeman effect including Landé who was able to give a phenomenological explanation of the observed splitting of spectral lines. However neither Landé Sommerfeld Pauli Heisenberg nor other physicists occupied with the problem could justify their results in terms of quantum theory. "It's a great misery with the theory of anomalous Zeeman effect" Pauli wrote to Sommerfeld on July 19 1923" Kragh p. 158. This paper was of crucial importance in the early history of quantum mechanics because its success in explaining the hitherto mysterious anomalous Zeeman effect validated not only the new quantum mechanics itself but also the highly controversial concept of electron spin discovered by Uhlenbeck and Goudsmit in the previous year. </p> <br /> <p>After Heisenberg's introduction of matrix quantum mechanics in 1925 one of the first problems he wanted to address using his new theory was the anomalous Zeeman effect. The crucial ingredient was electron spin which Uhlenbeck and Goudsmit had discovered by studying the regularities in the anomalous Zeeman effect documented by Landé. "Although based originally upon the classical concept of a rotating electron electron spin is a purely quantum mechanical property intrinsic to the electron. Opinions were strongly divided about the validity of the concept Pauli taking a strongly negative position while Bohr Heisenberg and Jordan took a more positive view. The challenge taken up by Heisenberg was to find a quantum mechanical solution for the anomalous Zeeman effect using the concept of a spin-½ particle within the context of their recently completed matrix formalism.</p> <br /> <p>"Despite the less than encouraging views of Pauli in November 1925 Heisenberg set about finding the stationary states and line splittings associated with the anomalous Zeeman effect. Disappointingly he almost reproduced Landé's formula for the anomalous Zeeman effect but the crucial spin-orbit coupling term resulted in a factor of 2 discrepancy from Landé's expression a result which cast doubt on the whole scheme.</p> <br /> <p>"The solution was however at hand thanks to the insight of Llewellyn Thomas who had arrived recently at Bohr's Institute in Copenhagen as a visiting graduate student . Thomas was aware of the fact that there is an additional kinematic effect associated with the orbital motion of a vector such as the spin vector of the electron according to the special theory of relativity. This purely kinematic effect results in an additional contribution to the precession and hence interaction energy of the electron. and can account completely for the discrepant factor of 2. After considerable debate even Pauli was convinced and the paper on the quantum mechanical explanation for the anomalous Zeeman effect was published by Heisenberg and Jordan in June 1926. Rechenberg has written in his summary of the history of quanta and quantum mechanics that the explanation of the anomalous Zeeman effect was one of the greatest triumphs of matrix mechanics" Longair pp. 312-5. </p> <br /> <p>Heisenberg and Jordan described their results in the abstract of the paper as follows: "For explaining the anomalous Zeeman effect Uhlenbeck and Goudsmit have applied Compton's hypothesis of the rotating electron. In the present paper we investigate the quantum mechanical behaviour of the atomic model characterized by this hypothesis. The result is that the Zeeman effect and the fine structure of the doublet spectra can be explained completely by the said hypothesis" Mehra & Rechenberg p. 273.</p> <br /> <p>Helge Kragh Quantum Generations 1999; Malcolm Longair Quantum Concepts in Physics 2013; Helmut Rechenberg Ch. 3 'Quanta and Quantum Mechanics' in Twentieth Century Physics Vol. 1 L.

19290011035Poughkeepsie New York Hudson River Valley: Poughkeepsie NY Luckey Platt & Co. Very Good with no dust jacket. 1929. Hardcover. On offer is a fine diary of a woman living in the Hudson River Valley during the Great Depression. The author of this diary is not explicitly stated. However there are a number of contextual clues that suggest the writer is Myra L Jordan. Jordan was born on Aug 22 1866. She was the second wife of William Burnap Jordan. They lived in Pine Plains NY located in the Hudson River valley south of Albany NY. She passed away in 1953 at the age of 87. She is 63 when she writes this diary. Her diary is very personal focused intensely on here immediate family and friends. She hardly ever comments on events outside of her direct experience and the wider effects of the Depression do not seem to have had an impact on her life. Some excerpts: "Men here to shingle east side. Reynolds to clean up garden. Ordered furnace coal. Wrote Mr. Tuttle who has had and op & is very ill. Jordan back for dinner. & Bill called. Paul for supper & cards." Mar 25; "Pulvers took me to Frank Chases's funeral - very large. Girl Scouts - 26 with Miss Grafe & Mrs. McGregor came on a hike & I told them stories of the old house. Iky had teo clinics in Clinton." June 11; "Dad better but in bed until aft. Vic's folks called in a. M. Jordan and Sisty down in the new car. Got ice cream for supper and staid for our evening illumination. Can't get over the wonder of electric lights." Sept 1; "Went with Jordan & Iky to Kips for 6: 30 dinner with Miss Carter & her friend & the Russian Symphony Choir concert at High School - was lovely ." Dec 3. It is interesting to note that the diary itself was published by Luckey Platt & Co a major retail store in Poughkeepsie NY. The store was a fixture in the region for over 130 years. The book itself carries a variety of articles and information pieces on topics such as dieting plating bridge vitamins etc. For a social historian especially one focused on life during the Depression this diary offers an interesting perspective. It certainly helps fill in some aspects of what life was like during this time of great upheaval in the United States. Measuring 5 inches by 7 inches this hard-cover diary contains 183 pages and is approximately 90% complete. The cover is in good condition as is the binding. The pages are also in good condition and the handwriting is legible. ; Manuscripts; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 183 pages . Poughkeepsie, NY, Luckey Platt & Co hardcover
