Fine structure of the hydrogen atom by a microwave method. Offprint from: The Physical Review Vol. 72 No. 3 1 August 1947
Lancaster PA and New York NY: American Institute of Physics 1947. First edition. <p>First edition very rare offprint signed by Lamb who received a half-share of the 1955 Nobel Prize in Physics for this work. The Lamb-Retherford experiment of 1947 was the first to measure what is now known as the Lamb shift-the difference in energy between two energy levels 2S½ and 2P½ of the hydrogen atom-which had not been correctly predicted by the Dirac relativistic wave equation. "The Lamb shift experiment was a landmark in 20th-century physics" Biographical Memoir National Academy of Sciences. "After it was reported at Shelter Island the Lamb-Retherford experiment became the point of departure for the renormalization program" Silvan Schweber. </p>. THE LAMB SHIFT - NOBEL PRIZE IN PHYSICS 1955. <p>First edition very rare offprint signed by Lamb who received a half-share of the 1955 Nobel Prize in Physics for this work. The Lamb-Retherford experiment of 1947 was the first to measure what is now known as the Lamb shift-the difference in energy between two energy levels 2S½ and 2P½ of the hydrogen atom-which had not been correctly predicted by the Dirac relativistic wave equation. "The Lamb shift experiment was a landmark in 20th-century physics" Biographical Memoir National Academy of Sciences. "After it was reported at Shelter Island the Lamb-Retherford experiment became the point of departure for the renormalization program" Silvan Schweber. Lamb 1913-2008 received his doctorate at Berkeley in 1938 under the guidance of J. Robert Oppenheimer. "Unlike many of his generation of physicists Lamb did not follow Oppenheimer into the wartime atom-bomb project. Instead he concentrated on his specialisms - microwaves and radar - at Columbia University in New York performing the experiments that culminated in the observation of the Lamb shift. This shift is a tiny difference in energy between two atomic orbitals in hydrogen denoted 2S and 2P distinguished only by their angular momenta. Quantum theories of the time predicted that these levels should have identical energies. The discovery that they did not demanded a fundamental theoretical rethink - one that was initiated almost immediately by Hans Bethe. The Lamb shift thus became a cornerstone of the modern edifice of quantum electrodynamics QED. This the quantum field theory of the electromagnetic interaction explains the shift as resulting from energy fluctuations in the vacuum that smear out the position of the electron in a hydrogen atom. This process has a greater effect on the Coulomb energy of the electron's binding to the central proton at smaller radii where the 2S state is most likely than at larger radii where the 2P state dominates. Today precise measurements of the Lamb shift have tested QED to an accuracy of better than one part in a million" Sargent. On Lamb's 65th birthday Freeman Dyson wrote "those years when the lamb shift was the central theme of physics were golden years for all the physicists of my generation. You were the first to see that this tiny shift so elusive and hard to measure would clarify in a fundamental way our thinking about particles and fields." Not on OCLC or RBH.</p> <br /> <p>Provenance: Willis Lamb signature on front wrapper. Lamb was born in Los Angeles the son of a telephone engineer. He entered the University of California at Berkeley in 1930 where he earned a bachelor's degree in chemistry 1934. Lamb continued at Berkeley as a graduate student in theoretical physics directed by J. Robert Oppenheimer receiving his doctorate in 1938. In that year Lamb joined the faculty at Columbia University New York where he carried out research in microwaves and radar. His defence-related investigations focused on the problem of how to make shorter higher frequency microwave sources for radar. It was this that would eventually lead to a Nobel prize in 1955. Lamb continued working in atomic spectroscopy and laser physics at Stanford University 1951-56 where he devised microwave techniques for examining the hyperfine structure of the spectral lines of helium and then as professor at Oxford 1956-62. He returned to the US in 1962 as Henry Ford II professor of physics at Yale joining the University of Arizona in 1974 until his retirement in 2002.</p> <br /> <p>"In the second quarter of the 20th century quantum theory faced some serious challenges including unexplained details of atomic spectra and difficulties in calculating basic properties of charged particles. In 1947 Willis Lamb and Robert Retherford of Columbia University discovered an unexpected detail in the hydrogen spectrum later called the Lamb shift that became an essential clue in solving both problems. The measurement agreed with new calculations and was the first indication that the theoretical approach called renormalization could resolve the mathematical infinities that had threatened to derail the progress of quantum mechanics.</p> <br /> <p>"By the 1940s theorists understood a variety of phenomena that had small effects on the energies of atomic electrons such as relativistic corrections and interactions between spin and orbital angular momentum. These effects showed themselves in the so-called fine structure of atomic spectra-the way that many spectral lines corresponding to jumps between electron energy levels are seen on close examination to split into groups of closely spaced lines.</p> <br /> <p>"Lamb and graduate student Retherford wanted to measure the hydrogen fine structure by investigating two specific electron states. One was a relatively long-lived S state with a spherically symmetric orbital and the other was a shorter-lived P state with less symmetry. Standard theory predicted that the two states should have equal energy but that applying a magnetic field should influence the states in different ways and induce an energy difference between them.</p> <br /> <p>"The team sent a stream of electrons at right angles into a beam of hydrogen atoms exciting a few of them into the S state and also deflecting them slightly from the main beam direction. The excited atoms passed through a region containing both microwave radiation and an adjustable magnetic field and then hit a metal target. The excited atoms would then drop back to the ground state emitting electrons that the team could detect as a current. The key to the experiment was that if the magnetic-field-induced energy difference between the two states was equal to the energy of the microwave photons then the long-lived S state would absorb a photon and turn into the short-lived P state. These atoms would drop back to their ground state before reaching the target and the current in the detector would essentially vanish.</p> <br /> <p>"By plotting the critical magnetic-field strength for a variety of microwave frequencies Lamb and Retherford could determine the energy difference between the two states in the absence of a magnetic field. Contrary to expectation the difference was not zero.</p> <br /> <p>"This departure from theory became known as the Lamb shift and was a prime topic for discussion at the Shelter Island Conference on Quantum Mechanics that took place in June 1947 at the far end of Long Island New York. Many of the attending theorists argued that the Lamb shift was a result of the 'self-energy' problem in quantum electrodynamics. The problem was that calculations of the interaction of an electron's charge with its own field yielded apparently infinite values for the particle's energy and mass and also threw off calculations of atomic spectra.</p> <br /> <p>"It was Hans Bethe on the train ride home who wrote a short paper giving a somewhat sketchy but fairly accurate calculation of the shift. The solution to the self-energy problem proposed by others was to think of the 'bare' electron as having infinite energy that is mostly cancelled out by the infinitely negative energy of its interaction with its own electric field. This so-called renormalization approach leads to a correction to the classical energy that depends on distance. A P-state electron spends a different amount of time close to the nucleus than an S-state electron so they require different corrections. Bethe's estimate for the resulting Lamb shift fit the experimental result remarkably well and demonstrated that renormalization-which is at the core of today's quantum mechanics-could be verified in experiments" Lindley.</p> <br /> <p>"Swedish physicist Ivar Waller who made the presentation speech when Lamb was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1955 observed that 'it does not often happen that experimental discoveries exert an influence on physics as strong and invigorating as did your work. Your work led to a re-evaluation and a reshaping of the theory of the interaction of electrons and electromagnetic radiation thus initiating a development of utmost importance to many of the basic concepts of physics a development the end of which is not yet in sight'" Schweber QED and the Men Who Made It p. 218.</p> <br /> <p>"Speaking at a conference on the history of particle physics in 1980 Lamb obviously with some pleasure remarked that he had been in contact with the leading figures in the history of fine structure Michelson Sommerfeld and Dirac. When he was still a high-school student he had met Michelson who spent his last years at Caltech at a chess festival in Pasadena. 'We talked a little about the game but not about physics and although I knew that he was famous for the measurement of the velocity of light I did not know of any other reasons.' He never met Sommerfeld but 'in 1950 he sent me a handwritten note that indicated that he had heard of our measurements and he mentioned that he was the '81-year-old great-grandfather' of the hydrogen fine-structure theory.' Lamb met Dirac repeatedly. About one occasion he remembers that Dirac asked him if he had enjoyed participating in the discovery of the fine-structure anomaly. Lamb said he had but added that he would have had much more pleasure if instead he had discovered the Dirac equation. As Lamb recalls after a brief pause Dirac said gently 'Things were simpler then'" Brandt Harvest of a Century p. 306.</p> <br /> <p>Lindley 'Quantum Milestones 1947: Lamb Shift Verifies New Quantum Concept' Physics 18 2025 p. 41 ;/a>.

Fine Structure of the Hydrogen Atom by a Microwave Method in Physical Review Vol. 72 No. 3 August 1 1947 pp. 241-243
Lancaster: American Physical Society 1947. 1st Edition. FIRST EDITION FIRST ISSUE IN ORIGINAL WRAPS of the paper in which Lamb announced the fine structure of the hydrogen atom discovered the discrepancy in electromagnetic theory called the Lamb Shift and began the revolution that led to Quantum Electrodynamics QED. <br /> <br /> QED basically describes how light and matter interact addressing it as a small difference between energy levels of two orbitals of the hydrogen atom that was unexplained and at odds with prevailing electromagnetic theory then Dirac's quantum theory of the electron. Lamb explains "electromagnetic attraction and repulsion. in terms of the exchange of photons between charged particles" Peacock The Quantum Revolution 100. <br /> <br /> The Lamb Shift then is a small difference between energy levels of two orbitals of the hydrogen atom that was unexplained and at odds with prevailing electromagnetic theory then Dirac's quantum theory of the electron. This small difference caused by the interaction between the electron and the vacuum became the impetus for the development of QED. QED sometimes said to be the most accurate physical theory ever written became the model for quantum field theories that would be developed in the future" ibid. Able to mathematically describe all phenomena involving electrically charged particles interacting by means of exchange of photons QED can make extremely accurate predictions. Richard Feynman has called it "the jewel of physics" for this reason. <br /> <br /> In 1955 Lamb was awarded the Noble Prize along with P. Kusch whose paper is also included here "for his discoveries concerning the fine structure of the hydrogen spectrum" Noble Prize Committee. CONDITION & DETAILS: Volume 72 Number 3. Original Wraps 4to 10.5 x 8 inches; 263 x 200mm. Meticulously rebacked at the spine to match the green of the wraps. The wraps are in near fine condition as is the interior.

Fine Structure of the Hydrogen Atom by a Microwave Method
Lancaster and New York: American Physical Society. 1st Edition. Soft cover. Fine. FIRST EDITION IN ORIGINAL WRAPPERS of the discovery of the "Lamb shift" "Shortly after World War II Lamb began his work to check the accuracy of the predictions of Paul Dirac as they related to the energy levels and spectral lines of hydrogen. Dirac's quantum mechanical theory predicted that the hydrogen atom had two possible energy states with equal energies. Lamb's accurate work using radiofrequency resonance techniques reported in 1947 revealed that there was a minute difference in these energy levels. Small as it was this Lamb shift necessitated a revision of the theory of the interaction of the electron with electromagnetic radiation. For this work Lamb was awarded the Nobel Prize for physics which he shared with another leader of research at Columbia Polykarp Kusch with whom he had performed wartime research in developing microwave radar" .Biographical Encyclopedia of Scientists.

Lamb attended the University of California at Berkeley for both his undergraduate and post-graduate studies. "For theoretical work on scattering of neutrons by a crystal guided by J.

Because of limited computational methods available at the time this research narrowly missed revealing the Mossbauer Effect 19 years before its recognition by Mossbauer" Wikip. "A Note on the Capture of Slow Neutrons. . . " presented on November 9 1936 and published in Physical Review in 1937 contributed to the first part of Lamb's thesis dissertation. The title of the dissertation was "I. On the capture of slow neutrons in hydrogenous substances. II. Electromagnetic properties of nuclear systems." "At Ann Arbor I had heard Fermi lecture on the effect of chemical binding of a hydrogen atom on its scattering of slow neutrons. This interested me and I began to work on related problems. It seemed that there might also be an effect of the binding of a hydrogen atom on the capture cross section for slow neutrons. At first I thought the effect would be large but finally had to settle for a very rough estimate of the cross section for a very unlikely process: the radiationless capture of neutrons by bound protons to form deuterons with the excess energy and momentum going into vibrational motion of the deuteron instead of a gamma ray. The normal capture process was very little affected by the chemical binding. Even today this radiationless capture has never been seen but I am still hoping that someday it may be. This work formed part of my doctoral thesis. The other part dealt with electromagnetic properties of nuclear matter" Lamb p. 136. "There is no greater tribute to Oppenheimer than the list of Ph.D.s he delivered which includes Carlson Christy Dancoff Kusaka Lamb Morrison Snyder and Volkoff" Pais p. 369. "Lamb was an American physicist who received the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1955 for his precision measurements of details of the spectrum of hydrogen. These included studies of fine structure and measurements of the Lamb shift a key observational step on the road to the development of the theory of quantum electrodynamics p. 203. Gribbin John.

"Passage of Uranium Fission Fragments Through Matter" from Physical Review Vol. 58 No. 8. Minneapolis: American Physical Society 1940. Offprint. 8vo. 696-702 pp. Original self-wrappers. Fine. "Early theoretical efforts on heavy-ion stopping date back to Bohr 1940 who pointed out the importance of screening due to projectile electrons in the slowing-down of fission fragments and to Lamb 1940 and Knipp and Teller 1941 who studied the problem of charge equilibrium for penetrating heavy particles" Sigmund p. 19. Niels Bohr 1885-1962 the renowned Danish quantum and nuclear physicist had been working in Copenhagen on determining how fission fragments penetrate matter simultaneously with Lamb's experiments. In a letter that he wrote to Tom Lauritsen a contemporary physicist Bohr mentions this article specifically writing: "Just a few days ago I received a copy of Physical Review of October 15 which as you may have seen contains a paper of Lamb who has independently achieved many of the results arrived at in Copenhagen. I thought therefore that it might be best to my last paper in the Physical Review to add a small addendum like that enclosed and I should be glad if you will kindly see that it is introduced in the proof. . . . In Lamb's article I also found various references to experimental investigations of fission fragments which we have overlooked or not yet known in Copenhagen" Bohr et al. p. 239. At the conclusion of Bohr's paper "Velocity-Range Relation for Fission Fragments" he writes "Note added at proof.—After the present paper was sent from Copenhagen we received here the issue of The Physical Review of October 15 1940 which contains an article by W. E. Lamb on the passage of uranium fission fragments through matter. In main features the considerations of this article correspond to the arguments developed here and similar results are obtained" Bohr p. 275. Bohr Niels.

Minneapolis: American Physical Society 1943. Offprint. 8vo. 159-78 pp. Original green wrappers. Fine. "The Ising model is a well-known model of ferromagnetism in statistical mechanics. . . . In 1944 L. Onsager produced quite unexpectedly an exact evaluation of the partition function of the model in two dimensions. It was a real tour de force" Yang p. 11. Lamb Arnold Nordsieck and others were all interested in the Onsager solution. "Out of this interest grew a Ph.D. dissertation by Julius Ashkin at Columbia which contained an analysis published by Ashkin and Lamb of the low-temperature Ising model pair correlation function using the matrix approach" Hoddeson p. 533. This paper "The Propagation of Order in Crystal Lattices" is that analysis. "The exact solution of the Ising model opened up the possibility of a rigorous formulation of other phase transition problems. While the Ising model was originally constructed to describe a ferromagnet its physical applicability was extended later to entirely different physical systems. . . . In contrast to Kramers and Wannier who in their 1941 paper refer to the 'Ising model of ferromagnetism' Montroll was immediately concerned with treating mathematically all kinds of 'nearest neighbor systems' including not only ferromagnets but also binary alloys and hindered rotations. Ashkin and Lamb in 1943 likewise thought of binary alloys" Hoddeson p. 574. "Kramers and Wannier showed that there was a non-zero transition temperature for the Ising lattice. Moreover they and Montroll showed that the partition function could be expressed as the trace of a matrix the 'transfer matrix'. . . . Using Kramers and Wannier's tecnhiques as well as ones developed with Mayer for the theory of imperfect gases Montroll derived series solutions for the partition function for narrow strips of lattice. Again employing Kramers and Wannier's techniques Ashkin and Lamb derived a series expansion for the propagation of order in the lattice the result that Yang eventually uses to check his exact solution" Krieger pp. 99-100.
