Fine and clean. <br/><br/><em>First printing of this paper which is Hahn's Habilitation paper announcung his discovery of a new element in residues from a Ceylon mineral called Thorianite. He later showed that it is an intermediate disintegration product."Because the sample thorianite was small Ramsay proposed that Hahn confirm Marie Curie's determination of the atomic weight of radium by preparing it in some organic compounds thereby greatly increasing the total amount being examined and calculating the atomic weight from the measured molecular weights. Chance sometimes favors the unprepared mind and Hahn who familiarized himself with only the basic of radioactivity followed the prescribed separationss technique and found himself the discovere of a new radioelement: radiothorium. The explanation was that the material given him came from an ore which contained a large percentage of thorium in addition to the radium. Thus upon completion of the chemical procedure not all the activity was confined in the radium-containg fraction; indeed the nes subsyance in the remainder was several hundred thousand times more active than thorium and ultimately yielded the characteristic one.minute halflife of thorium emanation."DSB VI p. 15. - Weeks Discovery of the Elementsp. 308 ff. </em> unknown

Berry's paper: pp. 45-57. Clean and fine. <br/><br/><em>First printing of the paper in which Berry describes his discovery of the "Berry phase" a unifying concept in quantum mechanics."In 1983 Berry made the surprising discovery that a quantum system adiabatically transported round a closed circuit in the space of external parameters acquires besides the familiar dynamical phase a non-integrable phase depending only on the geometry of the circuit. This Berry phase which had been overlooked for more than half a century provides us a very deep insight on the geometric structure of quantum mechanics and gives rise to various observable effects. The concept of the Berry phase has now become a central unifying concept in quantum mechanics with applications in fields ranging from chemistry to condensed matter physics. In particular the Berry phase plays an important role in modern magnetism an allows to reach a deeper understanding of a broad range of phenomena such as the spin-orbit coupling the Aharonov-Bohm effect the quantum Hall effect the anomalous Hall effect the magnon dynamics the tunneling of magnetization in molecular magnets etc. Further in the light of the Berry phase a number of new phenomena can be predicted in ferromagnets with a textured magnetization or in semiconductors with spin-orbit coupling."

Chadwick concluded that his experiments showed that these nuclear forces are of "very great intensity". According to Pais this is THE FIRST PUBLISHED STATEMENT ABOUT THE EXISTENCE OF A STRONG NUCLEAR FORCE. This 'new force' interpretation was disputed untill well into 1920s."Hey & Walters."In any event Chadwick and Bieler's final conclusion avoid all reference to a possible electromagnetic cause for the deviations from the simple theory: "The present experiments do not seem to throw any light on the nature of the law of variation of the forces at the seat of an electric charge but merely show that the forces are of very great intensity. It is our task to find some field of force which will reproduce these effects." I consider this statement made in 1921 as marking the birth of the strong interaction."Pais in "Inward Bound" p. 240. </em> unknown
1959508<p><strong>Large Octavo. Publisher's cloth & dustwrapper. First edition first printing of one of the most significant works on the philosophy of science. The Logic of Scientific Discovery was originally published in Germany in 1934 and Popper rewrote and republished it in English in 1959 with the New York edition preceding this much rarer UK edition. A fine copy in an unclipped slightly worn and faded very good dust wrapper. Small inscription on the front pastedown of David Keyt 1930-2025 Professor Emeritus of Philosophy at Washington University Seattle. The book is mostly unopened and looks mostly unread. A very nice copy. Popper argues that science should adopt a methodology based on falsifiability because no number of experiments can ever prove a theory but a reproducible experiment or observation can refute one. According to Popper: "non-reproducible single occurrences are of no significance to science. Thus a few stray basic statements contradicting a theory will hardly induce us to reject it as falsified. We shall take it as falsified only if we discover a reproducible effect which refutes the theory". Popper argues that science should adopt a methodology based on "an asymmetry verifiability and falsifiability; an asymmetry which results from the logical form of universal statements. For these are never derivable from singular statements but can be contradicted by singular statements".</strong></p> Hutchinson hardcover

Curie and Joliot were awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry 1935 "in recognition of their synthesis of new radioactive elements"."Until this date 1934 atomic nuclei emitting radiation were found in nature: it was called the natural radioactivity. It had been known since Rutherford that this natural radioactivity changed a nucleus into an other one: for instance radium becomes finally lead after many radioactive decays. We could say that lead does not become gold but gold becomes lead! But. this change of matter was not under control. It was not possible to construct the desired chemical element as the alchemist dreamed. But Irene and Frederic Joliot-Curie made the dream become almost reality.""Another very important development in the early 1934 by the Joliot-Curies in connection with irradiation of aluminum by alpha particles. The two French scientists detected the production of the recently discovered positrons. . However they soon realized that the positron activity continued after the alpha source was removed and that they had in fact discovered positive beta radioactivity. The importance of the discovery of artificial radioactivity was immediately recognized and resulted in a Nobel Prize in chemistry to the Joliot-Curies in 1935. The new phenomenon immediately became widely employed in nuclear physics chemistry biology and medicine." Kragh Quantum Generations p. 187"These elegant experiments which provided the first chemical proof of induced transmutations and showed the possibility of artificially creating radioisotopes of known stable elements were repeated and extended in the major nuclear physics laboratories of various countries " DSB.Born on 12 September 1897 in Paris Irène Curie was the daughter of Pierre and Marie Curie. "During World War I she worked as a nurse helping her mother operate radiography equipment and then studied physics and mathematics at the Sorbonne gaining a doctorate for studying the range of alpha particles. She then went to work for her mother at the Radium Institute. There she met Frédéric Joliot whom she married in 1926. Frédéric Joliot was born on 19 March 1900 in Paris - He joined the Radium Institute in 1925 and obtained his PhD in 1930. Together the Joliot-Curies worked on radioactivity and the transmutation of the elements. Twice they just missed major discoveries: in 1932 when Chadwick beat them to the neutron and in 1933 when Anderson discovered the positron. However in 1934 whilst bombarding light elements with alpha particles the Joliot-Curies noticed that although proton production stopped when the alpha particle bombardment stopped another form of radiation continued. The alpha particles had produced an isotope of phosphorus not found in nature. This isotope was radioactive and was decaying through beta-decay" DSB. </em> unknown

All clean and fine. <br/><br/><em>First edition and first printing of all three papers. Rutherford in this paper for the first time identifies the hydrogen nucleus and called it the 'positive electron'. He later called it 'the proton' . In his definitive paper of 1911 he estimated the radius of the nucleus a hundred thousand times smaller than that of an atom. Darwin in his paper offered here gave a more precise measure.In the first lines of the paper Rutherford outlines the content "The present paper and and the accompanying paper by Mr. C. Darwin the second paper offered here deal with certain points in connection with the "nucleus" theory of the atom which were purposely omitted in my first communication on that subject Phil. Mag. May 1911. A brief account is given of the later investigations which have been made to test the theory and of the deductions which can be drawn from them. At the same time a brief statement is given of recent observations on the passage of alpha particles through hydrogen which throw importent light on the dimensions of the nucleus." - Rutherford had studies alpha-particles intensely in the years before 1914 and proved quite conclusively that the individual particle was a helium atom with its electrons removed. The alpha particles were like the positive rays that had been discovered by Goldstein 1886 and now in 1914 the paper offered Rutherford suggested that the simplest positive rays must be those obtained from the hydrogen and that these must be the fundamentall positively-charged particle. He names it a 'positive electron'.Darwin in the paper offered "concluded from the known data:"No force proportional to some power of the distance other than the inverse square can give the dependence the Rutherford scattering cross section on the initial velocity" and he then calculated the distance of closest alpha-particle-nucleus approach.The paper by Niels Bohr relates to "The Stark effect". In 1913 appeared "an importent new discovery: when atomic hydrogen is exposed to a static electrical field its spectral lines split the amount of splitting being proportional to thefield strenght the linear Stark effect. After Rutherford read this news in "Nature" he at once wrote to Bohr:'I think it is rather up to you at the present time to write something on.electric effects.'" A. Pais. Bohrs paper on The Stark effect appeared in 1914 the paper offered here. - Rosenfeld. Niels Bohr' publications No. 10. </em> unknown
