Welche Züge der Lichtquantenhypothese spielen in der Theorie der Wärmestrahlung eine wesentlich Rolle ? (Which Features of the Quantum Hypothesis Play an Essential Role in the Theory of Heat Radiation).
Leipzig, Johann Ambrosius Barth, 1911. Later full cloth. Stamps on title-page. In ""Annalen der Physik"", Vierte Folge, Band 36. - VIII,1088 pp. and 4 plates. (Entire volume offered). Ehrenfest's paper: pp. 91-118.
First edition of the paper in which the term ""Ultraviolet Catastrophe"" appeared for the first time. ""Ehrenfest was one of the first to try to understand the significance of the strange new concept of energy quanta that Max Planck had introduced into physics in 1900 in his theory of blackbody radiation. In a series of papers culminating in his major study of 1911 (the paper offered), ""Which Features of the Quantum Hypothesis Play an Essential Role in the Theory of Heat Radiation?,"" Ehrenfest picked out the essentials of the early quantum theory and showed how they fit together. He proved rigorously that the energy of electromagnetic vibrations cannot take on all values - cannot vary continuously - if the total energy of the blackbody radiation in an enclosure is to be finite: Planck’s assumption that energy is a discrete variable was, therefore, logically necessary and not just sufficient. Ehrenfest also showed, by an analysis of Wien’s displacement law, that the ratio of energy to frequency was the only variable that could be quantized for a harmonic oscillator, if one wanted to maintain the statistical interpretation of entropy.""(DSB).

Hydromagnetic Dynamo Theory.
Lancaster, American Physical Society, 1956. Lex8vo. Volume 28, April, No. 2, 1955 of ""Reviews of Modern Physics"". Entire volume in the original printed orange wrappers. Previous owner's name to upper margin of front wrapper. A 2 cm long tear to upper left corner of front wrapper. Otherwise a very nice and clean copy. [Elasser:] Pp. 135-163. [Entire issue: Pp. 103-170].
First printing of Elsasser's paper on the Hydromagnetic Dynamo Theory. Elsasser, considered the father of the presently accepted dynamo theory as an explanation of the Earth's magnetism, proposed that this magnetic field resulted from electric currents induced in the fluid outer core of the Earth. He revealed the history of the Earth's magnetic field through pioneering the study of the magnetic orientation of minerals in rocks.""His [Elsasser] main attention became focused on a research field he had been cultivating almost as a diversion alongside his official duties since the late 1930s: geomagnetism. Discounting a hypothesis popularized by Einstein and Patrick Maynard Stuart Blackett that Earth's magnetic field is a property of its rotation per se, he thought instead of a self-sustaining dynamo in the molten metallic core. A key clue for Elsasser in his approach to the problem was a similarity between maps of the long-term variations in Earth's magnetic field and the maps of atmospheric flows familiar from his work in meteorology. Elsasser theorized that Coriolis forces and convection currents in the conductive liquid combined to produce poloidal magnetic and toroidal electric fields (the former extending beyond Earth's surface, the latter interior to it) that had a feedback effect on each other. Though some details were unclear, he argued that the dynamo theory gave the right order of magnitude for the magnetic field's strength and potentially accounted for its secular variations. By the mid-1950s, Elsasser's junior colleague at Utah, Eugene Newman Parker, and the British physicists Edward Crisp Bullard and the Australian-born George Keith Batchelor had explored alternative dynamo models and elaborated the mathematics showing that the field was self-sustaining. The dynamo theory ultimately received wide acceptance. It subsequently also became a key element of Hannes Alfvén's Nobel Prize-winning work on plasma electrodynamics. In the 1960s, Elsasser's geophysical interests moved into modeling seismic deformation in the context of the burgeoning theory of plate tectonics."" (DSB)
Ueber die Electrisirung der Gase durch glühende Körper.
Leipzig, Johann Ambrosius Barth, 1887. Without wrappers as issued in ""Annalen der Physik und Chemie. Hrsg. von G. Wiedemann."", Neue Folge Bd. 31, 5. Heft. Pp. 1-144 a. 1 folded plate.(entire issue offered ""Heft"" 5). The Elster-Geitel-paper: pp. 109-126. Clean and fine.
First edition.""In 1887 Elster and Geitel discovered the ""electrification of gases by means of incandescent bodies"", a finding that later was very significant in thermionics. Their finding of the emission of negative electricity from incandescent filaments was decisive in the proof that Thomson’s ""corpuscles"" (electrons) are a constituents of all matter.""(DSB).The issue contains another importent paper by BUNSEN ""Ueber das Dampfcalorimeter"", pp. 1-14, in which Bunsen describes his invention of the Vapor Calorimeter.
Zur Theorie des Starkeffektes. - [FIRST EQUATION ON THE STARK EFFECT IN HYDROGEN]

Library labels pasted on to front end-papers and stamps to title page, otherwise fine. Pp. 489-520. [Entire volume: VIII, 972 pp + 5 folded plates].
First printing of Epstein's seminal paper in which he was able to derive equations for the linear and quadratic Stark effect in hydrogen.""In his classic paper on the theory of the Stark effect [The present], the splitting of the spectral lines in a hydrogen atom by a strong electric field, he worked out the quantization rules in an invariant form and then used them to calculate the splitting of the hydrogen lines. The splitting effect, first observed by Johannes Stark in 1913, could not be explained along classical lines. Showing that Niels Bohr's Quantum description of the hydrogen atom could solve the problem made Epstein's reputation as a theoretical physicist. The match between his theoretical predictions and Stark's data furnished striking support for the RutherfordBohr atomic theory.Working independently, the German astronomer Karl Schwarzschild publicly announced the solution to the same problem one day after Epstein's paper appeared. (As Epstein relates it, Schwarzchild initially had the wrong formula. He corrected it after seeing an announcement of the development of Epstein's result.) Epstein's other contributions to the development of the quantum theory of atomic structure between 1916 and 1921 ranged from his extension of Bohr's theory to nonperiodic motions, including beta decay and the photoelectric effect, to the interference of spectral lines.""
