‎First edition of the first announcement of Pauli's Exclusion Principle which gives a criterion for the electronic structure of atoms, and explains the periodic table and the combining properties of the elements.Pauli first formulated his exclusion principle in this article in an attempt to explain the structure of the periodic table. By introducing an additional quantum number, namely the spin of an electron, to the already known three quantum numbers in Bohr's atom model, and by postulating that no two electrons can have the same four quantum numbers, Pauli could explain the number of electrons allowed in the outermost shell, e.g., explaining the varying lengths of successive periods in the table. The exclusion principle turned out to be applicable to all fermions, and thus plays a role in a variety of physical phenomena. For example it explains the formation of degenerate matter in white dwarfs and neutron stars. In 1945 Pauli received the Nobel Prize in physics ""for the discovery of the Exclusion Principle, also called the Pauli Principle"".This volume also contains a paper by Heisenberg: 'Über eine Anwendung des Korrespondenzprinzips auf die Frage der Polarisation des Floureszenzlichtes' , A. Einstein: ""Bemerkung zu P. Jordans Abhandlung ""Zur Theorie der Quantenstrahlung""and another paper by Pauli: 'Über den Einfluss der Geschwindigkeitsabhängigkeit der Elektronenmasse auf den Zeemaneffekt' (Zeeman-Effect and the Dependence of Electron-Mass on the Velocity).‎

‎Berlin, Julius Springer, 1923. 8vo. Extracted from ""Zeitschrift für Physik. Hrsg. von Karl Scheel. 16. Band"". No backstrip. Pp. 155-164.‎

‎First printing of this important paper in which Pauli points out certain connections between the weak-field case and the theoretically simpler case of a strong magnetic field. Pauli interpreted the anomalous effect on the basis of the olf quantum theory while staying in Copenhagen. The Zeeman effect is the splitting of a spectral line into several components in the presence of a static magnetic field. The Zeeman effect is named after the Dutch physicist Pieter Zeeman.‎

‎First appearance of Pauli's extended doctoral thesis in which he presents what was later named the Pauli-Niessen Model. Their works helped to show the inadequacy of the old quantum mechanics, which gave physicists the impetus to explore new paths which led to the matrix mechanics formulation of quantum mechanics by Werner Heisenberg and Max Born in 1925 and the wave mechanics formulation by Erwin Schrödinger in 1926, which were shown to be equivalent.Karel Niessen, Dutch theoretical physicist, published his doctoral thesis the year after Pauli.‎

‎First appearance of Perrin's doctorial thesis, in which he definitly settled the question of the common nature of cathode rays and of the recently discovered X rays, showing them to be particles. The experiments prepared the way for J.J. Thomson's determination in 1897 of the charge-mass ratio of these particles, electrons. In 1896 Perrin won the Joule Prize of the Royal Society for his experiments on cathode rays and for his preliminary studies on Röntgen's X rays, these investigations formed the content of his thesis. Perrin received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1926 for this and other work on the discontinuous structure of matter, which put a definite end to the long struggle regarding the question of the physical reality of molecules.""During the 1890s he was attracted to the study of cathode rays, which Crookes had shown to be electrically charged. Even so, there remained controversy whether they were particles (as it seemed they would have to be if they were charged) or whether Crooke's observations were in error and they were actually a form of wave radiation. Perrin settled the matter for all in 1895 by showing that the radiation could be made to impart a large negative charge to a cylinder upon which they fell. The cathode rays must, therefore, consist of negatively-charged material, and must be particles rather than wave. J.J. Thomson was able to determine the mass of the particles and to show that they were much smaller than atoms.""(Asimov).The offered volume contains further notable papers. 14 Memoirs by Marcellin Berthelot.‎

‎First publication of Pierce's seminal and exceedingly influential paper on traveling-wave tube amplifiers. A Traveling-wave tube is an electronic device used to amplify radio frequency signals to high power. Even though the invention is widely contributed to Rudolf Kompfner in 1942-43, and Nils Lindenblad patented a device in 1940 similar to the traveling wave tube, is it Pierce that invented a fully functional and useable device.""It was Pierce who exploited its [the Traveling-Wave Tube] great potential as a broadband ultrahigh frequency and microwave amplifier. Pierce's initial successes with the new amplifier and his theoretical analysis of the operation of the traveling wave principle provided stimulus for colleagues at Bell Labs and workers elsewhere to enter this field of research.""
