Berlin, Springer, 1941. 8vo. In contemporary halv cloth with gilt lettering to spine. In "Zeitschrift für Physik", Bd. 117, 1941. Entire volume offered. Stamp to front free end-paper. Fine and clean. Pp. 689-708. [Entire volume: VIII, 818 pp.]. First printing of Recknagel's paper in which he showed that the immersion objective lens, which is a crucial part of a Emission Electron Microscope that accelerates the electrons emitted at quite low energy E0 to some final energy E and forms the first image of the emitting surface, has surprisingly good properties. Its basic aberration coefficients are proportional to the ratio E0/E so that they keep decreasing down to lowest emission energies.Here he concluded that there were no reason in principle to prevent the emission microscope from attaining the resolution of the light microscope.

(London, Bulwer and Co., 1803). 4to. Without wrappers as extracted from "Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London." Year 1803 - Part I. Pp. 1-11, one textillustr. First printing of an importent paper in optical physics in which he investigates refraction phenomena over surfaces of water and in the atmosphere (mirage phenomena)., relating it to temperatures of air and land. He also announced his invention of the dip sector (modified sexton) that was used by Ross and Perry while exploring the arctic region.William Hyde Wollaston, (b. Aug. 6, 1766, d. Dec. 22, 1828), was an English chemist and physicist who discovered the elements palladium and rhodium and first reported the dark lines in the spectrum of the Sun. His consideration of geometrical arrangements of atoms led him into crystallography and the invention of the reflecting goniometer to measure angles of crystal faces. He also proved the elementary nature of niobium and titanium, developed a method of making platinum malleable, proved the identity of voltaic and frictional electricity, and invented the camera lucida to aid microscopists. The mineral Wollastonite was named in his honor. (Adventures in Cybersound).Another paper attached: James Smithson, "A chemical Analysis of some Calamines". Pp. 12-28.

A 5 cm long tear to lower part of spine. Back wrapper with three larger tears to upper layer of paper, loss of a few letters. Internally a nice and clean copy. Pp. 411-415. [Entire issue: Pp. 215-546]. First edition of Overhauser's seminal paper on dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) today known as The Overhauser Effect or Nuclear Overhauser effect.Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is an important technique for the determination of structures in material science and structural biology. For liquid-state NMR the only DNP mechanism currently known is the Overhauser Effect. For solid-state a variety of different DNP-mechanisms can be used such as the thermal-mixing, cross-effect or the solid-effect.

(Berlin, Stockholm, Paris, Almqvist & Wiksell, 1907). 4to. Without wrappers as extracted from "Acta Mathematica. Hrsg. von G. Mittag-Leffler", Bd. 31, pp. 333-380. First printing of Hadamard's paper on Cauchy's problem in linear differential equations. "Hadamard fully set out the idea of the correctly posed problem for equations with partial derivatives in his excellent Lectures on Cauchy's Problem in Linear Differential Equations (1922; French ed., 1932). Thus, for Laplace's equation, Dirichlet's problem is a correctly posed problem; on the other hand, for an equation of the hyperbolic type, Cauchy's problem is the one which meets this criterion. These ideas have had a great influence on modern research because they have shown the necessity of introducing different types of neighborhoods and, in consequence, different species of continuity; these conceptions led to general topology and functional analysis. Also in the Lectures is the notion of the "elementary solution" which has so much in common with that of "distribution" (or "generalized function"). Also in connection with equations with partial derivatives, one should mention the concept of the "finite portion" of a divergent integral, which plays an essential role in the solution of Cauchy's problem."

First publication of Dicke's influential paper in which the "Dicke Effect" is presented for the first time."He [Dicke] contributed also notably to the field of Spectroscopy and Radiative Transfer by means of predicting the phenomenon called Dicke narrowing [The Dicke Effect](aka. Collision narrowing): When the mean free path of an atom is much smaller than the wavelength of one of its radiation transitions, the atom changes velocity and direction many times during the emission or absorption of a photon. This causes an averaging over different Doppler states and results in an atomic linewidth that is much narrower than the Doppler width."

Berlin, G. Reimer, 1844. 4to. As extracted from "Journal für die reine und angewandte Mathematik, 28 Band, 4. Heft, 1844". Without wrappers and backstrip. Fine and clean. [Eisenstein:] Pp. 289-374. [Entire issue: 289-380 + 2 folded plates]. First printing of German mathematics prodigy Eisenstein's paper on third degree equations with basis in a devided circle. Even though he died prematurely at the age of 29, he managed to prove biquadratic reciprocity, Quartic reciprocity, Cubic reciprocity, to be imprisoned by the Prussian army for revolutionary activities in Berlin and making Gauss state that: "There have been only three epoch-making mathematicians: Archimedes, Newton, and Eisenstein". Alexander von Humboldt, then 83, accompanied Eisenstein's remains to the cemetery. The papers presented in the present issue is among his most prominent and made him famous throughout the mathematical world. (James, Driven to innovate, P. 88). "The twenty-seventh and twenty-eighth volumes of Crelle's Journal, published in 1844, contained twenty-five contributions by Eisenstein. These testimonials to his almost unbelievable, explosively dynamic productivity rocketed him to fame throughout the mathematical world. They dealt primarily with quadratic and cubic forms, the reciprocity theorem for cubic residues, fundamental theorems for quadratic and biquadratic residues, cyclotomy and forms of the third degree, plus some notes on elliptic and Abelian transcendentals. Gauss, to whom he had sent some of his writings, praised them very highly and looked forward with pleasure to an announced visit. In June 1844, carrying a glowing letter of recommendation from Humboldt, Eisenstein went off to see Gauss. He stayed in Göttingen fourteen days. In the course of the visit he won the high respect of the "prince of mathematicians," whom he had revered all his life. The sojourn in Göttingen was important to Eisenstein for another reason: he became friends with Moritz A. Stern-the only lasting friendship he ever made. While the two were in continual correspondence on scientific matters, even Stern proved unable to dispel the melancholy that increasingly held Eisenstein in its grip. Even the sensational recognition that came to him while he was still only a third-semester student failed to brighten Eisenstein's spirits more than fleetingly. In February 1845, at the instance of Ernst E. Kummer, who was acting on a suggestion from Jacobi (possibly inspired by Humboldt), Eisenstein was awarded an honorary doctorate in philosophy by the School of Philosophy of the University of Breslau.Eisenstein soon became the subject of legend, and the early literature about him is full of errors. His treatises were written at a time when only Gauss, Cauchy, and Dirichlet had any conception of what a completely rigorous mathematical proof was. Even a man like Jacobi often admitted that his own work sometimes lacked the necessary rigor and self-evidence of methods and proofs." (DSB)

In the 1820s, yet another pupil of Gauss, August Ferdinand Mobius (1790-1868), also developed an interest in geometrical optics, but the papers that he devoted to the subject were also very much part of the eighteenth-century tradition of dioptrics and catoptrics. Taking the basics of this kind of optics for granted, he concentrated on the simplification of the calculations involved [The present paper].

Berlin, Springer, 1930. 8vo. In contemporary halv cloth with gilt lettering to spine. In "Zeitschrift für Physik", Bd. 66, 1930. Entire issue offered. Stamp to front free end-paper and titlepage, otherwise fine and clean. Pp. 178-81. [Entire volume: IV, 401 pp.]. First printing of Jordan and Fock's paper on what they called: "new uncertainty characteristics and electromagnetic fields". Here they examined how the quantized field strengths in Dirac's theory were to be measured and the status of the uncertainty relations with respect to these quantities. These examinations caused that for a while it seemed that particle theory and field theory might be in conflict.
