First Edition
1st Edition. This paper, "On the Quantum Theory of the Radiative Equilibrium" introduces the expression "negative irradiance" ("negative Einstrahlung") for the emission of a quantum by action of irradiance (Calaprice, 121). Following his work on general relativity in 1916, Einstein continued searching for new ways in which the existence of photons might lead to observable derivations from the classical picture" (Pais, p. 413). In 1922, after six years of experimental and theoretical work, Arthur H. Compton discovered what came to be called the Compton effect; Peter Debye also discovered this independently and virtually simultaneously. Pauli then used Compton & Deby's work to extend Einstein's 1917 work to the case of radiation in equilibrium with free electrons (Pais, 414). "Pauli examined the requirements of detailed balance under Lorentz transformations and found that scattering of light by free electrons must include a term of a form which we would now call stimulated emission . . . Einstein and Ehrenfest then showed that Pauli's results could be obtained by an extension of [Einstein's] 1917 paper with the unnecessary specialization to discrete energy levels removed . . . "The core of Einstein's argument is that the scattering process should be broken into two parts: the absorption of energy from radiation of frequency 1 and the emission of energy as radiation of frequency 2" Lewis, "Einstein's derivation of Planck's radiation law," AJP, 1973, 38-44.

[++] "As a teacher Ehrenfest was unique. Albert Einstein described him as peerless and the best teacher in out profession whom I have ever known. His lectures always brought out the basic concepts of a physical theory, carefully extracting them from the accompanying mathematical formalism. He worked closely with his students, doing everything in his power to help them develop their own talents. His nickname among the students, Uncle Socrates, captures his probing questioning, the force of a personality that could sometimes be overwhelming, and the infectious warmth of his humor. The critical approach also led Ehrenfest to his greatest positive contribution to physics: the adiabatic principle. 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, Which Features of the Quantum Hypothesis Play an Essential Role in the Theory of Heat Radiation?, [the paper offered here], 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.

Book First Edition
Soft cover. Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. First edition, complete journal issue in original printed wrappers, of the first formulation of Ehrenfest's 'Adiabatic Hypothesis' of quantum theory. "Two important heuristic principles have guided quantum physicists during the period 1913-1925, viz. Ehrenfest's Adiabatic Hypothesis and Bohr's Principle of Correspondence. The Adiabatic Hypothesis, first formulated by Ehrenfest in 1913 [in this paper], says: 'If a system be affected in a reversible adiabatic way, allowed motions are transformed into allowed motions'" (Van der Waerden, Sources of Quantum Mechanics, pp. 3-4). "In a series of papers that appeared from 1913 to 1916, Ehrenfest studied the possibility of generalizing the notion of quantization, previously applied only to oscillators. He showed that every periodic system possesses a property invariant under slow (adiabatic) changes in its parameters: the ratio of the kinetic energy, averaged over one period, to the frequency. Ehrenfest proposed that only such adiabatic invariants could properly be quantized and also that when the parameters of a quantized system are changed adiabatically, the allowed quantum states of the original system continue to be the allowed quantum states. Ehrenfest and his student J. M. Burgers showed that this adiabatic principle encompassed the various quantization methods introduced independently by a variety of physicists. The adiabatic principle was widely used and highly prized as one of the few reliable guides to progress during the difficult years of the old quantum theory, when even the laws of conservation of energy and momentum were suspect" (DSB). 8vo (228 x 152 mm).

Offprint from Zeitschrift für Physik 19 (1923). 301-306pp. Original printed self-wrappers. 230 x 157 mm. Light toning but very good. First Edition, Offprint Issue. In 1916, after publishing his great work on general relativity, Einstein returned to the question of blackbody radiation. In November 1916 he wrote to his friend Besso that "a splendid light has dawned on me about the absorption and emission of radiation" (quoted in Pais, p. 405), one that led him to a new derivation of Planck's radiation law and convinced him of the reality of light-quanta (photons). After publishing these results in three papers, culminating with the famous "Zur Quantentheorie der Strahlung" (1917), Einstein kept looking for "new ways in which the existence of photons might lead to observable derivations from the classical picture" (Pais, p. 413). He found none until 1923, when Arthur Compton and Peter Debye independently derived the relativistic kinematics for the scattering of a photon off an electron at rest. The work of Compton and Debye led Wolfgang Pauli to extend Einstein's work of 1917 to the case of radiation in equilibrium with free electrons (see Pais, p. 414n). "Pauli examined the requirements of detailed balance under Lorentz transformations and found that scattering of light by free electrons must include a term of a form which we would now call stimulated emission . . . Einstein and Ehrenfest then showed that Pauli's results could be obtained by an extension of [Einstein's] 1917 paper with the unnecessary specialization to discrete energy levels removed . . . The core of Einstein's argument is that the scattering process should be broken into two parts: the absorption of energy from radiation of frequency 1 and the emission of energy as radiation of frequency 2" (Lewis, p. 42).
