First printing of Pockels' paper in which he announced the discovery of the effect which bears his name. He shows that the optical property is changed by a change in the dieelectric function induced by electric deformation of a solid. The discovery became to have a wide use in semiconductor technology.The volume contains further notable papers ELSTER & GEITEL ""Ueber die Electricitätserregung beim Contact verdünnter Gase mit galvanisch glühende Drähten"", pp. 315-329. - HEINRICH HERTZ ""Ueber die Fortleitung electrischer Wellen durch Drähte"", pp. 395-407. - W. HALLWACHS ""Ueber den Zusammenhang des Elektricitätsverlustes durch beleuchtigung mit der Lichtsabsorption"" (The photo-electric effect !), pp. 666-674, papers by Lenard, Ferdinand Braun (2 papers) etc.
