På Kosmologikas sidor återfinns på många ställen länkar till kortare biografier över olika vetenskapsmän som har deltagit i utvecklandet av dessa spännande teorier. På denna sida finns länkar till alla dessa biografier samlade på ett enda ställe. Personerna är dels listade i både bokstavs- och födelsedagsordning men även efter nobelprisår (för de personer som har fått nobelpriset) samt i betydelsefullhetsordning för vetenskapen. Dessutom har jag nyligen lagt till Brucemedaljörer som är den högsta utmärkelsen inom astronomin, nobelpriset undantaget, samt Fields medalj som är matematikens nobelpris och som dessutom bara delas ut en gång vart fjärde år samt slutligen wolfpriset som är ett israeliskt pris som rankas steget under Nobelpriset men som ofta är åtminstone ett decennium snabbare med utnämningarna. Alfabetisk ordning Ahlfors, Lars (1907- ) Alembert, Jean le Ronde d' (1717-1783) Alfvén, Hannes Olof Gösta (1908-1995) Alpher, Ralph A. (1921- ) ...

In 1925 Samuel Goudsmit and George Uhlenbeck were studying the atomic spectra of alkali atoms such as Li and Na, they showed that in addition to its orbital motion, an electron must be regarded as spinning about some axis. The story is told by Goudsmit in a lecture nearly fifty years later: G.E.Uhlenbeck and S.Goudsmit, Naturwissenschaften , 953.

The Time Line For Electron Magnetic Resonance But I must say to the Muse of fiction, as the Earl of Pembroke said to the ejected nun of Wilton, 'Go spin, you jade , go spin!' Sir Walter Scott The start of our story is bound up with first with the discovery of the electron, then with the mysteries of quantum theory together with observations about atomic spectra. - associated magnetism with the motion of electric charge. Michael Faraday 's experiments on electrolytes. Stoney "names" the electron. J.J.Thompson measures e/m for the electron. Stern and Gerlach's experiment. Louis de Broglie proposed that had both wave and particle properties. Pauli's Exclusion Principle Samuel Goudsmit and George Uhlenbeck discovered electron spin Paul Dirac showed that the spin quantum number appears automatically if a relativistic Hamiltonian is used for the wave equation. After 1925 there were numerous related measurements and theoretical developments, - molecular beam experiments, also resonant molecular beam experiments, the prediction of resonant absorption, microwave measurements on small molecules, and spin lattice relaxation measurements. Then in World War II high power microwave generators (magnetrons) and low power microwave oscillators (klystrons) and other electronics were developed for use with Radar. After the war these devices were incorporated in early EMR spectrometers. However there were a number of important observations before the first resonance experiments, in particular three still impinge strongly on modern EMR experiemnts. The Kramers theorem, the Breit Rabi formulae and early experiments on spin lattice relaxation. Hovering behind all of this is the figure of

Volume XXVI, No. 2, Fall 1994 NIELS BOHR LIBRARY RECEIVES GREAT VARIETY OF NEW MATERIALS AND GIVES SOME AWAY MANUSCRIPT MATERIALS A Look Ahead Oral History Interviews Manuscript Biographies and Institutional Histories Audio-Visual Materials Books and Finding Aids The AIP Niels Bohr Library wants to see that the papers of scientists go to the institution with which they are most closely associated whenever possible. Accordingly, after the family of Eugene Paul Wigner made arrangements for the main body of his papers to be deposited in the Firestone Library of Princeton University, we were glad to transfer our own small collection (1 ft.) of Wigner materials to the Firestone. The transferred papers contain correspondence (1931-1966) on quantum mechanics, physical chemistry, and nuclear structure and reactions, with such luminaries as Hans Bethe, J. Robert Oppenheimer, and John Van Vleck. The Library's new location in College Park in some cases makes us the most appropriate repository for materials which complement the official government records stored by the neighboring National Archives. Nancy Grace Roman donated personal papers relating to her distinguished career as a space scientist and administrator at nearby NASA, they include correspondence, photographs, manuscripts of speeches and papers, and clippings. She also donated materials of her father Irwin Roman, including a notebook from a physics course he took at Washington University in 1910-1912 and a notebook which is a very early example of data and formulas compiled from a geophysical (rather than strictly geological) viewpoint.

Threshold Signals Lawson, James L. and George E. Uhlenbeck Volume 24 MIT Radiation Laboratory series ( reference supplied by brew books Introduction The fundamental process in the reception of electromagnetic signals is to make perceptible to the human observer certain features of the incoming electromagnetic radiation. Since perception is the acquisition of information, these features may be called "intelligence" or "information". The electromagnetic wave may contain this information in many ways: the particular method used to abstract it and make it perceptible depends upon the structure of the original radiation. ... To change the characteristics of the signal into a form suitable for human perception, several events must usually take place. The complete system in which this chain of events occurs can be conveniently referred to as the receiving system and can be subdivided into four functional parts ...

52. Samuel Goudsmit – En Glömd Fysiker? Tillsammans med george uhlenbeck införde han 1925 begreppet elektronspinn,något som vi i dag anser som fundamentalt inom fysiken. http://vvv.fy.chalmers.se/fysikaktuellt/2002_2/goudsmit.html

Biografi Det är i år 100 år sedan Samuel A. Goudsmit (1902 – 1978) föddes i Nederländerna. Han var av judisk börd och studerade fysik under den framstående teoretiske fysikern Paul Ehrenfest (1880 – 1933) i Leiden (1). Tillsammans med sin studiekamrat George Uhlenbeck undersökte han finstrukturen i atomspektra. För att få överensstämmelse mellan mätresultat och teori, var de tvungna att införa ett nytt kvanttal. Detta kunde uppfattas som om elektronen hade en roterande rörelse kring sin egen axel, ett "spinn". De visade också att elektronens magnetiska moment måste vara en hel bohrmagneton, inte en halv som den klassiska teorin angav. Redan vid 23 års ålder hade alltså Goudsmit gjort en banbrytande upptäckt (2). På grund av nazismens framväxt emigrerade Goudsmit och Uhlenbeck till U.S.A. De blev båda professorer vid University of Michigan, Goudsmit under tiden 1927 - 46. Under krigsåren tillhörde Goudsmit den stora grupp fysiker, som på MIT arbetade med utvecklingen av radar. Under krigets slutskede, 1944 – 45, deltog han i "Alsos Mission", en expedition som hade till syfte att ta reda på hur långt man i Tyskland hade hunnit i utvecklingen av atombomber (mera om detta senare). Han knöts sedan till det nybildade Brookhaven National Laboratory, där han var chef för fysikavdelningen 1952 – 60. Åren 1951 – 62 var han chefredaktör för den redan då högt ansedda tidskriften Physical Review.

Home Site Map Queries: UMresearch@umich.edu MICHIGAN GREATS Samuel C. C. Ting Nobel Laureate Physicist has Long, Strong Ties with the UM by Lee Katterman Office of the Vice President for Research Samuel C. C. Ting's association with Ann Arbor goes back to his birth on January 27, 1936. Ting's parents, scholars in their own right, were both graduate students at the University of Michigan in early 1936. The couple planned to return soon to China with his pregnant wife. Chance intervened and the Ting's first child was born almost two months premature. The Ting family did go back to Beijing, China when young Sam was two months old. His father became an engineering professor and his mother a professor of psychology. Ting's maternal grandmother assumed most of the child-rearing duties. World War II prevented Sam Ting from beginning formal schooling until he was 9 years old, although education was always highly valued in his family. It turned out that Ting's maternal grandfather lost his life during the first Chinese Revolution. So, at the age of thirty-three, his grandmother had gone to school, became a teacher, and brought Sam's mother up alone. "When I was young I often heard stories from my mother and grandmother recalling the difficult lives they had during that turbulent period and the efforts they made to provide my mother with a good education," says Ting. "Both of them were daring, original, and determined people, and they have left an indelible impression on me."
