Korff 1906-1989 Was A Physicist Who Led Worldwide Observations Of Cosmic Rays In The 1940'S And 1950'S Using Balloons Aircraft And Mountaintop Observatories. Serge Alexander Korff Was Born In Helsinki Finland. His Father A Baron Belonged To A Prominent Russian Family And Was Professor Of Russian Law At The University Of Helsinki Before Emigrating To The United States. Mr. Korff Graduated From Princeton University In 1929 Obtaining His Doctorate There In 1931. The Next Year He Became A Research Associate At The Mount Wilson Observatory In California And Through The Rest Of The 1930'S He Was Associated With The California Institute Of Technology The Carnegie Institution Of Washington And The Bartol Research Foundation. The Focus Of His Scientific Career Was Observing And Mapping The Rain Of Neutrons -Electrically Neutral Atomic Particles -Produced By High Energy Radiation Or Cosmic Rays Striking The Top Of The Atmosphere All Over The Earth. Balloon Observations Were Made Above Guam The Galapagos Islands Greenland The Caribbean And Several Points Within The United States. In 1960 Dr. Willard Libby In Accepting The Nobel Prize For His Discovery That The Decay Of Radioactive Carbon Could Be Used To Date Archeological Specimens Reminded His Audience Of The Contribution Of Dr. Korff's Contribution. It Was Dr. Korff And His Colleagues Who Discovered That The Atmosphere Is Constantly Being Bombarded By Neutrons. He Pointed Out That The Principal Way The Neutrons Would Disappear Would Be By Forming Radioactive Carbon Dr. Libby Said. This The Nobel Winner Said Put Him On The Path To His Discovery. In 1940 He Joined The Faculty Of New York University And Became A Professor Of Physics In 1946. He Was President Of The Explorers Club In New York From 1955 To 1958 And President Of The American Geographical Society From 1967 To 1971 As Well As Chairman Of Its Council From 1972 To 1988. In 1972 He Became President Of The New York Academy Of Sciences. D. Van Nostrand Company hardcover

First printing of the Reviews of Modern Physics issue entirely dedicated to the International Congress on Theoretical Physics held in Seattle Washington 1957. The congress turned out to be exceptionally important in the field of superconductivity and Feynman here presented his only paper on the subject even though he spend most of the 1950ies on precisely this. Feynman's work on the subject led directly to Bardeen's focus on the subject which eventually resulted on Bardenn Leon Cooper and John Robert Schrieffer published their famous BCS-theory paper in 1957:"John Bardeen already well-known for his work leading to the discovery of the transistor turned his full attention to superconductivity in 1951 having realized that the isotope effect identified the interaction between electrons that must be responsible for the phenomenon. The basic idea would be a Fermi-degenerate gas of nearly free electrons with a weakly attractive interaction by way of the lattice phonons. Solving that problem - for example finding the ground state of such a system - proved to be a difficult task. There was also the threat of powerful competition. Richard Feynman one of the masters of quantum electrodynamics could not help but notice the similarity between that problem and this one. By 1955 by then at the University of Illinois at Urbana Bardeen decided that reinforcements were needed. He called up C. N. Yang at the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton to ask for a postdoc versed in the kind of field theory one uses in quantum electrodynamics. Yang recommended Leon Cooper. At about the same time one of Bardeen's graduate students J. Robert Schrieffer decided to work on superconductivity. The team was assembled. In the cramped quarters of the University of Illinois physics department Bardeen and Cooper had to share an office a hardship that did not prove to be an obstacle to progress. The team worked furiously in early 1957 driven in part by the feeling that Feynman was hot on the trail using powerful new techniques they knew little about. However it was not Feynman but Bardeen Cooper and Schrieffer who produced the microscopic theory" Goodstein Richard Feynman and the History of Superconductivity. unknown

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

"If we have to go on with these damned quantum jumps then I'm sorry that I ever got involved." E.Schrodinger."In it he contrasts the smooth evolution of the Schrodinger wavefunction with the erratic behaviour of the picture by which the wavefunction is usually supplemented or 'interpreted' in the minds of most physicists. He objects in particular to the notion of 'stationary states' and above all to 'quantum jumping' between those states. He regards these concepts as hangovers from the old Bohr quantum theory of 1913 and entirely unmotivated by anything in the mathematics of the new theory of 1926. J.S. Bell. hardcover

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

First printing of this landmark paper in particle physics in which Kaufmann found that the cathode are negatively charged particles that certain properties of the cathode rays are independent of the nature of the gas that they traverse and determining the ratio e/m. charge/mass"To define the 'birth of an era' is perhaps best left for parlor games. Let me write of the BIRTH OF PARTICLE PHYSICS nevertheless define it to take place in April 1897 and appoint Kaufmann and Thomson as keepers of the gate. Their respective experimental arrangements.are of comparable quality their experimental results equally good."Pais "Inward Bound" p. 84."In 1897 three physicists Weichert Kaufmann and Thomson in independent experiments found that cathode rays are indeed negatively charged particles having the peculiar property that the ratio of the mass and the charge of these particles is in the order of 1000 times smaller than for the lightest ion the ion of the hydrogen. The term 'electron' which had previously been used to denote the 'elementary charge' was soon adopted as the name of the new particle. The electron was the first of the later so-called 'elementary particles' to be discovered." Siegmund Brandt "The Harvest of a Century" No. 4 p.16 ff. unknown

Entire volume: VIII 776 pp. 6 folded plates. First edition of Wilhelm Wien's highly influential paper on the phenomenon of radiation also known as Wien's displacement law. Wien followed Ludwig Boltzmann's approach when incorporating electrodynamics and thermodynamics in investigating radiation and its characteristics. "He argued that if a system reaches the same temperature by the increase of temperature or by the adiabatic compression of the volume containing heat radiation it should yield the same energy distribution. Considering also the Doppler effect of the radiation Wien arrived at an expression for energy distribution that states that the product of temperature and the wave length is a constant". Mathew Chandrankunnel Philosophy of physics 2000 4 p.Wien's empirical observations functioned as a starting point for Max Planck who wanted prove the theoretical foundation for Wien's wishing thus to justify the entropy law. Today Wien's approximation is also known as Wien-Planck law.This phenomenon was coined "Wien's displacement law" because the energy density curve is displaced correspondingly to the temperature; it implies that the hotter an object is the shorter the wavelength at which it will release most of its radiation. Wien's description of radiation awarded him the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1911. Wien's constant is today used in a wide range of different aspects of physics e.g. cosmic microwave background and the determination of how much energy is emitted from a light bulb.
