'Uhlenbeck had a very significant influence on statistical mechanics and brought an area which was very varied and disjointed into some sort of structured whole' (MacTutor History of Mathematics Web site). 'He was an inspiring teacher. With superbly organised and extremely clear lectures, he laid bare for everyone to see the beautiful structure of statistical mechanics, based on the principles of the founding fathers, Maxwell, Boltzmann, and Gibbs. Thus he transmitted to a younger generation what he conceived to be the essence of the past and the way to the future. In doing so, he educated several generations of physicists in statistical mechanics in a style rare in this century' (E.G.D. Cohen, 'George E. Uhlenbeck and statistical mechanics', Amer. J.

1st Edition. Full volume. FIRST EDITIONS OF THREE IMPORTANT PAPERS: (1) WALTHER BOTHE AND HANS GEIGER show that energy is conserved in quantum interactions. (2) WALTER ELSASSER proposes the Davisson-Germer experiment. (3) GEORGE UHLENBECK & SAMUEL GOUDSMIT introduce the concept of electron spin. BOTHE & GEIGER, in this paper, announced the results of the test demonstrating strict conservation of energy and momentum at the quantum level. "Among the topics that Bothe studied in 1924 was the ejection of electrons by X rays, and it was in connection with this phenomenon that he and Geiger performed an important experiment. In an effort to reconcile the particulate and wavelike properties of radiation, Bohr, Kramers, and Slater in 1924 formulated a new quantum theory of radiation. According to the hypothesis, momentum and energy are conserved only statistically in interactions between radiation and matter. "Bothe and Geiger suggested that this could be tested experimentally by examining individual Compton collisions. Bothe introduced a modification into the Geiger counter that made it appropriate for use in coincidence experiments . . . using two counters, they studied the coincidences between the scattered X ray and the recoiling electron. Correlating photons with electrons, Bothe and Geiger found a coincidence rate of one in eleven; since the chance coincidence rate for the situation was 10-5, the experimental results contradicted the theoretical predictions and indicated small-scale conservation of energy and momentum" (Dictionary of Scientific Biography). WALTER ELSASSER, came to the ideas in this paper after he had been "browsing in the Göttingen library in 1925 at the age of 21 [and] found a newly completed dissertation by Louis de Broglie containing the suggestion that matter such as electrons might also behave as waves. Elsasser made the fundamental observation that the hitherto confusing and unexplained experimental results of electron interaction with metals from Bell Laboratories were in fact confirmation of de Broglie's hypothesis" Marsh, memorial to Elsasser, 1991). "With the encouragement of his colleagues, he wrote a short paper in [this paper] suggesting that de Broglie's theory could be tested through an improved crystal diffraction experiment" (History of Physics: The Wenner Collection). This discovery characterized Walter and established him as a scientist of world class, though as sometimes happens, two others later received the Nobel Prize for making the same observation two years after Elsasser did. UHLENBECK & GOUDSMIT, in this paper, introduced electron spin, which posits intrinsic angular momentum for all electrons. "While still students studying at Leiden under Paul Ehrenfest, two Dutch physicists, George Uhlenbeck and Samuel Goudsmit postulated that the electron must have an intrinsic angular momentum (â??spin') and therefore a magnetic moment because the electron is charged. Each electron, they argued, spins with an angular momentum of ½ Planck constant and carries a magnetic moment of one Bohr magneton" (Instituut-Lorentz, Leiden". Commentary by Bohr follows their paper.

1st Edition. FIRST EDITION, ORIGINAL WRAPS, OF THE 1ST ANNOUNCEMENT IN ENGLISH OF THE CONCEPT OF â??INTRINSIC SPIN'' OF THE ELECTRON. While still students studying at Leiden under Paul Ehrenfest, two Dutch physicists, George Uhlenbeck and Samuel Goudsmit postulated that the electron must have an intrinsic angular momentum (â??spin') and therefore a magnetic moment because the electron is charged. Each electron, they argued, spins with an angular momentum of ½ Planck constant and carries a magnetic moment of one Bohr magneton" (Instituut-Lorentz, Leiden". Commentary by Bohr follows their paper. "In 1925, Pauli proposed the idea of a fourth quantum number for electrons as an attempt to explain the anomalous Zeeman effect and the Pauli exclusion principle, but did not provide a physical explanation for this new quantum number. Shortly thereafter, [the duo] introduced the concept of intrinsic electron spin to explain the angular momentum of the free electron and provide a physical explanation for the fourth quantum number that Pauli had proposed" (Wenner Collection: History of Physics). Goudsmit later wrote: "â??Our luck was that the idea [of spin] arose just at the moment when we were saturated with a thorough knowledge of the structure of atomic spectra, had grasped the meaning of relativistic doublets, and just after we had arrived at the correct interpretation of the hydrogen atom' Uhlenbeck recalled: â??It was then that it occurred to me that since each quantum number corresponds to a degree of freedom of the electron, the fourth quantum number must mean that the electron had an additional degree of freedom - in other words, the electron must be rotating!'. Everything fell into place. The electron had spin ½. Landé's g-factor, g=2, does not apply to the core but to the electron itself!" (Physics Today, 1989, 39). Apart from the electron's g=2 factor there is another factor of 2 in the story of spin" (Brandt, Harvest of a Century, 151). In 1925 Uhlenbeck and Goldsmit published their findings in a short note in Naturwissenschaften - a note that caused an uproar among some physicists. Lorentz was the first to point out to Ehrenfest, Uhlenbeck, and Goldsmit "that the idea of a spinning electron would be incompatible with classical electrodynamics" (Instituut). The two physicists then asked Ehrenfest not to submit the paper, to which Ehrenfest replied that he had already sent it off, [adding famously]: "You are both young enough to be able to afford a stupidity!" (ibid). Following publication of their note, Pauli initially "rejected their theory of electron spin. stating that their calculation of the effect of intrinsic spin on the fine structure of the hydrogen atom was off by a factor of 2" (Wenner). As well, "Goudsmit got a letter from Heisenberg with congratulations on the â??brave note' and the question â??how you got rid of the factor 2?'. Heisenberg computed quantitatively the splitting of the energy levels and got a result twice as large as the experimental value. The two Dutchmen had not even attempted to do that calculation but [now tried]. Einstein himself, who happened to be in Leiden, set them on the right track. The spinning electron is orbiting the atomic core which carries electric charge. In a reference system in which the electron is at rest that charge orbits around the electron. A moving charge means an electric current which generates a magnetic field. The interaction between that field and the spin magnetic moment leads to the splitting of energy levels" (ibid). Hilleth Thomas also made relativistic adjustments to the electron spin calculations regarding the factor of 2 and Pauli finally accepted the concept of intrinsic spin. In December 1925, Bohr among many others urged Uhlenbeck and Goudsmit to write a more detailed account of their finds; the paper offered here is that account. CONDITION: Original wraps.

Some marginal fraying especially at right, some soiling, horizontal crease, a few small marginal tears. Good copy. From the library of physicist Walther Gerlach (1889-1979), with his initials in pencil on the first page, Fermi's and Uhlenbeck's names in Gerlach's hand on the first page. Docketed. First Edition, Rare Offprint Issue. "The discovery of the positron [by Carl Anderson in 1932] and above all the processes of creating and destructing pairs of electrons and positrons, raised great interest around the world. Fermi too tackled the subject from the theoretical point of view. In a study with Uhlenbeck, carried out during his stay in August 1933 at the University of Michigan, he worked on the process of annihilation of an electron and a positron. In particular he tried to confirm whether a certain spectral line, identified by Louis H. Gray and Gerald T. P. Tarrant in the âscattering of hard rays', could be attributed, as Blackett and Occhialini had suggested, to an annihilation process but he found that, on the basis of Dirac's theory, it did not seem possible" (F. Guerra and N. Robotti, The Lost Notebook of Enrico Fermi, p. 75). Fermi and Uhlenbeck's paper was published in both English and Italian; the English version is the one included in Fermi's Collected Papers. This copy is from the library of Walther Gerlach, co-discoverer of the Stern-Gerlach effect (spin quantization in a magnetic field). Fermi, Collected Papers, no. 77b. .
