Zeeman, P (Pieter)[1865-1935], Inscribed By Zeeman To Alfred LandeBiblio.com

Researches In Magneto-Optics With Special Reference To The Magnetic Resolution Of Spectrum Lines

1913032015London: Macmillan And Co 1913. First English Language Edition 1st Printing. Hardcover. Very Good. Xiv 1 219 Pp 4 Pp Ads At Rear. Blue Cloth Gilt And Blindstamped. Seven Line Inscription And Signature Of Zeeman Dated In December 1924 To Alfred Lande. Light Rubbing At Corners And Front Spine Edge Gilt All Present But Not Brilliant Very Faint Dampstaining In Upper Right Third Of Front Cover And Small Area In Upper Corner Of Rear Cover But No Trace On Contents; Otherwise Clean No Fading To Cloth. From Wikipedia: Alfred Landé 1888 -1976 Was A German-American Physicist Known For His Contributions To Quantum Theory. In 1913 Landé Was Sent By Arnold Sommerfeld His Thesis Advisor At The University Of Munich To Be A Special Assistant For Physics To David Hilbert At The University Of Göttingen To Replace Paul Peter Ewald Whom Sommerfeld Had Sent To The Same Position In 1912. Landé Obtained His Doctorate Under Sommerfeld At The University Of Munich Two Weeks Prior To The Start Of The First World War. He Joined The Red Cross And Served For Two Years On The Eastern Front Before Being Invited By Max Born To Join Him At The Artillery Testing Commission One Of The Few Scientific Sections Of The Army. Apart From Their Work On Artillery Location By Sound Ranging They Began To Examine The Cohesive Forces And Compressibility Of Crystals. This Work Led To The Unexpected Result That The Electron Trajectories In Atoms Were Not At All Like Planetary Orbits Which At The Time Was The Usual Understanding Of The Electron In An Atom. Landé Studied Atomic Structure Intensively For The Next Seven Years. In 1916 Sommerfeld Had Begun To Apply The New Atomic Theory To Form A General Quantization Rule. In 1919 Landé Unexpectedly Turned To Spectroscopy Even Though The Continuation Of The Study Of The Spatial Orientation Of The Atoms Was The Most Pressing Problem Of The Time. He Turned To The Problem Of Atoms With Several Electrons In Particular To The Simplest Case The Spectrum Of Helium. The Spectrum Showed Non-Combining Single And Double Actually Triplet As It Turned Out Later Terms So That It Seemed As If Helium Was Made Of Two Different Substances Which Is Explained Today As The Result Of Electron Spin. Landé's Work Contained Several New Important Ideas Including The Rule Of Vector Addition Of Two Quantum-Mechanical Angular Momenta J1 And J2. His Findings And Postulates Were Later Confirmed By Quantum Theory. Landé's Frankfurt Investigations December 1920 Until April 1921 Ended With The Discovery Of The Well-Known Landé G-Formula And An Explanation For The Anomalous Zeeman Effect. The Landé G-Factor Is Now Defined Through Mj The Magnetic Quantum Number. In 1923 Landé Stated The Landé Interval Rule A Rule Dealing With The Relation Between An Electron's Spin And Orbit. Landé Was A Forerunner In A Phase Of New Interpretation Of Quantum Theory From Which Concrete Physical Statements About Experimentally Verifiable Facts Can Be Made. This Happened After The First Phase Of The Interpretation Of The Theory With Well-Known Discussions Between Niels Bohr Werner Heisenberg And Wolfgang Pauli Who Favoured The Copenhagen Interpretation Opposed In Varying Degrees By Erwin Schrödinger Louis De Broglie And Most Notably Albert Einstein. After 1950 And For The Rest Of His Life Landé Turned Energetically Against The Copenhagen Interpretation Of Quantum Theory Requiring As Did Einstein An Objectively Real Description Of Physical Processes. This Change Was Driven By Landé's Perception That Wave-Particle Duality Was An Unnecessary Misrepresentation Of Quantum Processes That He Explained By Developing A New Unitary Particle Formulation Without Dualistic Reference To Waves. Landé Based His New Formulation Upon Non-Quantal Principles Of Symmetry And Invariance With Duane's Rule For Quantisation Of Momentum Exchange With Space-Periodic Structures And Leibniz's Principle Of Cause-Effect Continuity To Explain The Intrinsically Probabilistic Nature Of Quantum Processes. His Interpretation Is Considered A Minority Interpretation. Macmillan And Co hardcover

Fine In Fine Dust Jacket Priced $24.50. Laid In Loosely Is A Gift Card Signed By Wigner And Dated In 1965. Per Wikikpedia Eugene Paul Wigner 1902 - 1995 Was A Hungarian-American Theoretical Physicist Who Also Contributed To Mathematical Physics. He Received The Nobel Prize In Physics In 1963 "For His Contributions To The Theory Of The Atomic Nucleus And The Elementary Particles Particularly Through The Discovery And Application Of Fundamental Symmetry Principles". A Graduate Of The Technical Hochschule Berlin Now Technische Universität Berlin Wigner Worked As An Assistant To Karl Weissenberg And Richard Becker At The Kaiser Wilhelm Institute In Berlin And David Hilbert At The University Of Göttingen. Wigner And Hermann Weyl Were Responsible For Introducing Group Theory Into Physics Particularly The Theory Of Symmetry In Physics. Along The Way He Performed Ground-Breaking Work In Pure Mathematics In Which He Authored A Number Of Mathematical Theorems. In Particular Wigner's Theorem Is A Cornerstone In The Mathematical Formulation Of Quantum Mechanics. He Is Also Known For His Research Into The Structure Of The Atomic Nucleus. In 1930 Princeton University Recruited Wigner Along With John Von Neumann And He Moved To The United States Where He Obtained Citizenship In 1937. Wigner Participated In A Meeting With Leo Szilard And Albert Einstein That Resulted In The Einstein-Szilard Letter Which Prompted President Franklin D. Roosevelt To Authorize The Creation Of The Advisory Committee On Uranium With The Purpose Of Investigating The Feasibility Of Nuclear Weapons. Wigner Was Afraid That The German Nuclear Weapon Project Would Develop An Atomic Bomb First. During The Manhattan Project He Led A Team Whose Task Was To Design Nuclear Reactors To Convert Uranium Into Weapons Grade Plutonium. At The Time Reactors Existed Only On Paper And No Reactor Had Yet Gone Critical. Wigner Was Disappointed That Dupont Was Given Responsibility For The Detailed Design Of The Reactors Not Just Their Construction. He Became Director Of Research And Development At The Clinton Laboratory Now The Oak Ridge National Laboratory In Early 1946 But Became Frustrated With Bureaucratic Interference By The Atomic Energy Commission And Returned To Princeton. In The Postwar Period He Served On A Number Of Government Bodies Including The National Bureau Of Standards From 1947 To 1951 The Mathematics Panel Of The National Research Council From 1951 To 1954 The Physics Panel Of The National Science Foundation And The Influential General Advisory Committee Of The Atomic Energy Commission From 1952 To 1957 And Again From 1959 To 1964. In Later Life He Became More Philosophical And Published The Unreasonable Effectiveness Of Mathematics In The Natural Sciences His Best-Known Work Outside Technical Mathematics And Physics.

MAXWELL, JAMES CLARK - THE "MAXWELL-DISTRIBUTION"S FINAL FORM - A MAIN PAPER IN 19TH CENTURY PHYSICSBiblio.com

On the Dynamical Theory of Gases." Received May 16 - Read May 31 1866.

186743456London Taylor and Francis 1867. 4to. No wrappers as extracted from "Philosophical Transactions" Vol. 157 - Part I. Titlepage to volume 155 and pp. 49-88. Titlepage with minor light browning at corners. Internally clean. A small stamp on verso of titlepage. First appearance of this seminal paper in its full version from "Transactions" representing the announcement of Maxwell's final "Theory of Gases" and introduces the "Maxwell Distribution" in its final form a statistical means of describing aspects of the kinetic theory of gases a theory together with his electromagnetic theory are considered to be SOME OF THE GREATEST ADVANCES IN PHYSICS OF ALL TIMES. Everett considers this paper 1868 to be Maxwell's greatest single paper. Maxwell's discoveries laid the foundations of special relativity and quantum mechanics.One of Maxwell's major investigations was on the kinetic theory of gases. Originating with Daniel Bernoulli this theory was advanced by the successive labours of John Herapath John James Waterston James Joule and particularly Rudolf Clausius to such an extent as to put its general accuracy beyond a doubt; but it received enormous development from Maxwell who in this field appeared as an experimenter on the laws of gaseous friction as well as a mathematician.In 1866 he formulated statistically independently of Ludwig Boltzmann the Maxwell-Boltzmann kinetic theory of gases. His formula called the Maxwell distribution gives the fraction of gas molecules moving at a specified velocity at any given temperature. In the kinetic theory temperatures and heat involve only molecular movement. This approach generalized the previously established laws of thermodynamics and explained existing observations and experiments in a better way than had been achieved previously. Maxwell's work on thermodynamics led him to devise the Gedankenexperiment thought experiment that came to be known as Maxwell's demon. unknown

Small stamp on titlepage and jacket with previous owners name: Niels Arley 1911-94 collaborated with Niels Bohr professor at Inst. of Theoretical Physics Univ. of Copenhagen. 82622 pp. With many annotations in small pencil by Niels Arley throughout. First edition. In the early years of quantum mechanics several distinct formulations were developed; Heisenberg's matrix mechanics Schrödinger's wave mechanics and Dirac's more general transformation theory. However these theories lacked strict mathematical rigor only much later through Schwartz's theory of distributions did Dirac's theory achieve this. Quantum mechanics is one of the fields of science which was fortunate to attract the attention of a mathematician of von Neumann's character. Von Neumann showed in a paper published 1927 how generalized infinite-dimensional Euclidean spaces function spaces and linear operators provide the proper mathematical framework for quantum mechanics. Von Neumann was strongly influenced by Hilbert's program of axiomatizing the fields of science. The axiomatic approach which von Neumann takes in his theory has ever since dominated modern physics and functional analysis and it was von Neumann who coined the term 'Hilbert space'. Von Neumann's work in this field culminated in this monograph which in addition to the earlier paper includes his important considerations inspired by Bohr and Heisenberg regarding the problem of measurement in particular von Neumann's disproof of hidden variables. hardcover

Lee And Yang Worked Out A Pencil-And-Paper Design Of An Experiment For Testing Conservation Of Parity In The Laboratory. Because Of Her Expertise In Choosing And Then Working Out The Hardware Manufacture Set-Up And Laboratory Procedures Wu Then Informed Lee That She Could Carry Out The Experiment. Wu Chose To Do This By Taking A Sample Of Radioactive Cobalt-60 And Cooling It To Cryogenic Temperatures With Liquid Gases. Cobalt-60 Is An Isotope That Decays By Beta Particle Emission And Wu Was Also An Expert On Beta Decay. The Discovery Of Parity Violation Was A Major Contribution To Particle Physics And The Development Of The Standard Model. The Discovery Actually Set The Stage For The Development Of The Model As The Model Relied On The Idea Of Symmetry Of Particles And Forces And How Particles Can Sometimes Break That Symmetry.The Wide Coverage Of Her Discovery Prompted The Discoverer Of Fission Otto Frisch To Mention That Those At Princeton Would Often Say That Her Experiment Was The Most Impactful Since The Michelson-Morley Experiment That Inspired Einstein's Theory Of Relativity. In December 1962 Wu Experimentally Demonstrated A Universal Form And More Accurate Version Of Fermi's Old Beta Decay Model Confirming The Conserved Vector Current Cvc Hypothesis Of Richard Feynman And Murray Gell-Mann On The Road To The Standard Model.

[PHYSICS] HAWKING, Stephen WBiblio.com

A Brief History of Time. From the Big Bang to Black Holes. Introduction by Carl Sagan. Illustrations by Ron Miller.

118558London Bantam Press 1988. . First edition corrected second printing; 8vo; illustrations throughout the text a few small spots to the title and contents leaf and to the edges of the text block; publisher's blue boards titles to spine gilt a very good copy in the lightly rubbed jacket with a couple of small spots to the upper panel; 198pp. First edition the corrected second printing of one of the most successful popular science books ever written. The first printing included a number of textual errors and was recalled making copies uncommon. In 1974 physicist Stephen Hawking 1942-2018 made the revolutionary discovery that black holes rather than being totally inescapable actually release a type of energy now known as Hawking radiation. That same year he was elected one of the youngest-ever members of the Royal Society and in 1979 he followed in the footsteps of Isaac Newton when he was appointed Lucasian Professor of Mathematics at Cambridge. Hawking began to consider writing for a general audience in the early 1980s and approached an editor at the Cambridge University Press who suggested that he avoid equations. Famously A Brief History of Time contains only one: e = mc2 instead relying on narrative and illustrations to explain complex concepts such as the Big Bang the expansion and fate of the universe quantum mechanics black holes the directionality of time and the search for a unifying theory of physics. Despite its complex subject matter the book was an immediate success and the Guardian has described it as 'a succinct entertaining and brilliantly lucid account of our relationship with the universe' McCrum 'The 100 Best Non-Fiction Books No. 6' March 2016.
