Edwin Crawford Kemble 1889-1984 Was An American Physicist Who Made Contributions To The Theory Of Quantum Mechanics And Molecular Structure And Spectroscopy. He Received His Ph.D. In Physics From Harvard In 1917.After Kemble Received His Doctorate With World War I In Progress He Spent A Short Time Doing Work Which Contributed To The War Effort Developing Aircraft Engines At Curtiss Aeroplane And Motor Company. As The War Ended He Was Laid Off. While He Did Want To Return To Harvard A Position Could Not Immediately Be Found So He Spent A Half Semester Teaching At Williams College In Williamstown Massachusetts. Bridgman Had A Plan To Build Up Theory At Harvard Which Consisted Of Restructuring From The Emphasis In Electromagnetism Radiotelegraphy Optics And Wave Propagation To Radiation Theory Quantum Theory Photo-Electricity Specific Heats X-Ray Crystal Structure And Special Topics In Physics Theory. Kemble Accepted The Challenge And Returned To Harvard In 1919 As An Assistant Professor In The Physics Department. Kemble Remained There The Rest Of His Career As Instructor 1919-1924 Assistant Professor 1924-1927 Associate Professor 1927-1930 And Professor 1930-1957.6 He Was Made Chairman Of The Department In 1940. His First Graduate Student Was John Van Vleck. Many Other Doctoral Students And Postdoctoral Students/Researchers Followed In The Next Fifteen Years Including Robert S. Mulliken John C. Slater J. Robert Oppenheimer Clarence Zener James H. Bartlett Eugene Feenberg And J. L. Dunham. Kemble Was At The Center Of Research And Development Of The Theory Of Molecular Structure. Kemble Went To Study And Do Research With Both Sommerfeld In Munich And Born In Göttingen On A Guggenheim Fellowship In 1927-1928. Upon His Return To The United States He Wrote With Edward L. Hill Two Lengthy Reviews Of Quantum Mechanics In The First Issues Of Reviews Of Modern Physics. During World War Ii Kemble Supervised The Teaching Of Basic Physics To Military Officers Consulted With For The Navy On Acoustic Detection Of Submarines And Near The End Of The War Consulted For The Army On Operation Alsos. The Objective Of Alsos Was To Investigate The German Nuclear Energy Efforts Seize German Nuclear Resources Materials And Personnel To Further American Research And To Prevent Their Capture By The Soviets And To Discern How Far The Germans Had Gone Towards Creating An Atomic Bomb. Samuel Goudsmit A Quantum Physicist From The University Of Michigan Was The Scientific Leader Of Alsos And Lt. Col. Boris Pash A Former Manhattan Project Security Officer Was Its Military Leader. At The End Of Ww Ii Kemble Had The Opportunity To Continue His War-Time Interest In Teaching Physics To Non-Physicists. In Reacting To The Role Science Played In The War James B. Conant President Of Harvard And Former High-Level Administrator In The Manhattan Project Proposed Teaching Science To All Harvard Undergraduates By Teaching Them The History Of Science And Highlighting The Importance Of Science To Social Change. Kemble Joined I. Bernard Cohen Gerald Holton Thomas S. Kuhn Philippe Le Corbeiller And Leonard K. Nash In This Project. In 1957 Kemble Retired From Harvard Where He Had Spent All But Three Years Since He Entered Graduate School. For The Next Three Years He Was The Director Of Harvard's Academic Year Institute Where High-School Teachers Studied With University Professors. He Had Served As Chairman Of The Physics Section Of The National Academy Of Sciences 1945-1948 And As A Member Of The Executive Committee Of The National Research Councils' Division Of Physical Sciences.

Leonard Salomon Ornstein 1880 - 1941 Was A Dutch Physicist. After Completing His Higher Education Entrance Qualification He Began Studying Theoretical Physics At Leiden University In 1898. Here Hendrik Antoon Lorentz Became His Formative Teacher. On March 26 1908 He Received His Doctorate Under Lorentz With The Topic Toepassing The Statistical Mechanica Van Gibbs Op Molekulair-Theorien Vraagstukken On The Molecular Applications Of The Gibbs´Schen Statistical Mechanics To The Doctor Of Natural Sciences. He Then Became An Assistant To Lorentz And Went In 1909 As A Lecturer In Physics At The University Of Groningen Which Task He Began On April 29 1909 With The Introductory Lecture De Rol Der Wiskunde In De Mathematic Physica German: The Role Of Mathematics In Mathematical Physics . In 1914 He Succeeded Peter Debye As Professor Of Physics At Utrecht University . As Head Of The Physics Laboratory In Utrecht From 1922 He Also Turned His Attention To Experimental Investigations In Particular Intensity Measurements Of Spectral Lines And Thus Gave The Institute An International Reputation. In 1921 He Was Significantly Involved With The Head Of The Philips Natuurständig Laboratorium In Eindhoven Gilles Holst In The Founding Of The Dutch Physical Society Nederlandse Natuurständige Vereniging Of Which He Was Chairman In 1939/1940. In 1931/32 He Was Rector Of The University Of Utrecht For Which He Gave The Rectorate's Speech In 1932 De Beteekenis Der Natuurkunde Voor Cultuur En Maatschappij German: The Importance Of Physics For Culture And Society . Ornstein Became A Member Of The Royal Netherlands Academy Of Sciences Corresponding Honorary Member Of The Royal Physiographic Society In Lund And Knight Of The Order Of The Dutch Lion. After The German Occupation In 1940 As A Jew Who Was Also Active In The Zionist Movement He Was Chairman Of The Dutch Zionist Association From 1918 To 1922 He Was In Great Danger But Refused To Leave The Country Despite Offers From Friends. Like All Jews In The Netherlands He Was Removed From Public Office And Was Not Even Allowed To Enter His Laboratory In Utrecht. Ornstein Then Isolated Himself From The Public And Died A Little Later. His Body Was Buried On May 23 1941 At The Jewish Cemetery In Utrecht. Ornstein Is Best Known For His Work In Statistical Mechanics.

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
