‎First edition of the first announcement of Ampère's discoveries on electromagnetism. Ampère first heard of Ørsted's discovery of electromagnetism on the 4th of September when Arago announced Ørsted's results to the Paris Academy of Sciences. In Ørsted's experiment a current-carrying wire is held over, and under, a compass needle - the result being that the needle is positioned at 45 degrees in respect to the wire. Ampére immediately saw that this result made no physical sense and realized that the true nature of the effect could not be observed until the force of terrestrial magnetism was somehow neutralized what Ørsted had observed and reported on was the resultant of the force from the wire and that from the earth's magnetic field. Ampère discovered that the compass needle sets at 90 degrees to the current-carrying wire when the effect of terrestial magnetism is eliminated. He also observed that current-carrying wires which are formed as spirals act as permanent magnets, and this lead him to his theory that electricity in motion produces magnetism and that permanent magnets must contain electrical currents. And thus Ampère laid the foundation of the new field of electrodynamics. Ampère announced his theory and experimental results, for the first time, in a series of memoires read before the Paris Academy of Sciences in September and October 1820. These memoires were first published in the September and October issues of Arago's 'Annales de Chimie et de Physique' (the offered items). In November Ampère had a seperate printing of his findings published under the title 'Mémoires sur I'action mutuelle de deux courans électriques, sur celle qui existe entre un courant électrique et un aimant ou le globe terrestre, et celle de deux aimans I'un sur I'autre.' (Dibner 62, Norman 43). On the title-page of this publication it is stated 'Extrait des Annales de Chimie et de Physique' and therefore this publication is often identified as an offprint of the two offered papers (see the Norman sales catalogue for an example). This is, however untrue, since it contains considerable changes and additions in comparison with text of the journal issues (see Williams: What were Ampère's Earliest Discoveries in Electrodynamics? ISIS, volume 74, p.492). Honeyman 82, Barchas 51, Wheeler 762.‎

‎Fisrt edition and first printings of the demonstrations of Ampere's new Equilibrium technique. When Faraday had completed his importent paper on Electro-magnetic motions (the paper offered here in the first French edition) he send it to Ampere.. Ampere invented the Rotation Apparatus in order to repeat Faraday's experiment on the electro-magnetic rotation. He produced an uninterrupted rotation, either of magnetic pole around a wire or of a wire around a magnetic pole. From these experiments originated a new theory of electricity and magnetism. - The third memoir is the First French edition of Faraday's famous paper ""On some New Electro-Magnetical Motions, and on the Theory of Magnetism"" (Quaterly Journal of Science, October 1821), in which is recorded for the first time the conversion of electrical into mechanical energy. It also contains the first notion of the ""Line of Force"". He employed a magnet and a wire with a flowing current, which causd each separately to rotate round the other. He concluded that a current-carrying wire is sorraunded by a circular ""line of force"". Oersted had spoken of the ""electrical conflict"" surrounding the wire and had noted that ""this conflict performs circles"".‎

‎First appearance of this famous memoir, in which Ampère presented his collected results on electrodynamics to the French Academy, creating the foundation of 19th century developments in electricity and magnetism. In the words of James Clark Maxwell, ""We can scarcely believe that Ampère really discovered the law of action by means of the experiments which he describes. We are led to suspect, what, indeed, he tells us himself, that he discovered the law by some process which he has not shown us, and that when he had afterwards built up a pefect demonstration he removed all traces of the scaffolding by which he raised it.""The offered memoir was published BEFORE the famous ""Theorie mathématique des phénomènes électro-dynamiques uniquement déduite de L'expérience"", which did not appear until 1827. That 1827-Memoire incorporates, together with a new presentation of Ampère's results from 1820, 1822, 1823, the offered memoir (1825). (Horblit: 100 - Dibner: 62).""From 1814 until 1820 Ampére did not perform the kind of research that would have made it into the annals of the histrory of science, but on September 11, 1820 when he heard Francois Arago speak about Oersted's work, he got fresh inspiration and started the work that made him famous. Arago related how Oersted had found that a steady electric current influences the orientation of a compass needle. After a weak Ampère had determined experimentally that that two straight, parallel, and current-carrying, wires execute a force on each other. The magnitude of the force is inversely proportional to the distance between the wires and proportional to the strenghts of the current..... During the following years he continued his researches, both experimentally and theoretically. he built an instrument for measuring electricity that later was developed into the galvanometer. Finally in 1825 he presented his collected results to the Academy IN ONE OF THE MOST CELEBRATED MEMOIRS IN THE HISTORY OF NATURAL PHILOSOPHY (The paper offered).""

‎Absence of Diffusion in Certain Random Lattices. - [THE ANDERSON LOCALIZATION]‎

‎Lancaster and New York, American Institute of Physics, 1958. Lex8vo. Volume 109, March 1, No. 5, 1958 of ""The Physical Review"", Second Series. In the original printed blue wrappers. Slight traces of wear to spine. Previous owner's stamp to front wrapper (C. Møller). Internally fine and clean. Pp. 1492-1505. [Entire issue: Pp. 1407-1862].‎

‎First edition of Anderson's seminal paper, in which he laid the foundation for a quantum-mechanical theory of transport in systems with a certain generic type of disorder involving onsite energy randomness. This is also known as the Anderson localization. On the basis of the discovery presented in the present article which led to investigations into the electronic structure of magnetic and disordered systems, Anderson was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1977. The discovery has allowed for the development of electronic switching and memory devices in computers.""Disorder-induced electron localization, i.e. Anderson localization, was first predicted by Andersonin 1958 [in the present paper]. In his pioneering paper, the continuity or discontinuity of the energy spectrum of electrons on a diagonally disordered system is related to their localization property."" (Nakayama, Fractal concepts in condensed matter physics, 2003, p. 117)""Anderson's model ushered in a new quantum mechanical view of metal-insulator transitions. And in the early 1960s, Nevill Mott introduced the notion of a mobility edge that separates extended and localized states. The idea of a mobility edge would develop into one of the most studied concepts of condensed-matter physics. For their work on disordered systems, Anderson, his thesis adviser John van Vleck, and Mott shared the 1977 Nobel Prize in Physics.Ironically, Anderson's 1958 paper hardly got noticed at first"" it was cited just 30 times in the first 10 years. Today, it's been cited over 4000 times, though too often as an ""unrecognizable monster"" as described by its creator in 1983. Indeed, theoreticians have found a variety of ways to look at localization - from scale-dependent diffusion and fractal wavefunctions to quantum chaos, dense-point spectra, and kicked rotors.""
