Groundbreaking Work in Quantum Mechanics; Neutron-Proton model. ALSO: the Invention of the Electron Microscope! Werner Heisenberg, "Uber den Bau der Atomkerne. II." In:"Zeitschrift fur Physik," Berlin, Julius Springer, 1932, vol 78, pp 156-164 in the complete volume of 857pp. Cloth binding. There is a small 15mm gilt stamp at the bottom of the spine from the former (library) owner. There are also several small round ownership rubber stamps here and there in the text, as well as a bookplate. There are no other marks in the book. Very Good copy, (7/10). ALSO in this volume: E [RNST] "RUSKA and M. KNOLL. "Das Elektronenmikroskop" on pp 318-339! Ruska would be awarded the Nobel Prize in Phyics in 1986 (!) for this work on the invention of the electron microscope. [++] [HEISENBERG] This is the second of a three-part groundbreaking paper by Heisenberg, all appearing in the Zeitschrift in volumes 77, 78, and 80. [++] "(These three papers) mark the transition to the modern view on nuclear forces." (Abraham Pais, "Inward Bound," p. 413) contributing to understanding the behavior of atomic nuclei using quantum principles. It also laid the groundwork for the proton-neutron model of the nucleus, which later became fundamental in nuclear physics, transitioning further from classical to modern physics, influencing the development of particle physics. [++] "Heisenberg s foremost scientific concern after 1927 involved the search for a consistent extension of the quantum formalism that would yield a satisfactory unification of quantum mechanics and relativity theory. This required the formulation of a covariant theory of interacting particles and fields that accounted for elementary processes at high energies and small distances. In 1929, drawing upon the work of Dirac, Jordan, Oskar Klein, and others, Heisenberg and Pauli succeeded in formulating a general gauge-invariant relativistic quantum field theory by treating particles and fields as separate entities interacting through the intermediaries of field quanta. Soon after the discovery of the neutron in 1932, Heisenberg developed a neutron-proton model of the nucleus by introducing the concept of the nuclear exchange force and the formalism of isotopic spin. Nonrelativistic quantum mechanics could be applied to the nucleus, Heisenberg showed, as long as long as one did not consider the structure of nucleons. Heisenberg s work served as the basis for contemporary nuclear physics, of fields. In 1935 Heisenberg and his assistants, especially Weizsäcker. Heisenberg preferred to continue the search for a consistent quantum physics, much of which was pursued by his assistant Hans Euler discovered that nonlinear interactions in positron theory, which yielded photonphoton scattering, could be represented by treating the electron as possessing a minimum size, below which the interferences predominated."--Complete DSB online.…

Terms of sale
All items are offered with a seven-day return privilege.
Right of withdrawal
If you are a consumer you can withdraw from the contract in accordance with the following. Consumer means any natural person who is acting for purposes which are outside his trade, business, craft or profession.

Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to JF Ptak Science Books, Hendersonville, North Carolina, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods.
