Mensing Pauli (2 results)

Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. MENSING, L(ucy) and W. Pauli jr. "Uber die Dielektrizitatskonstante von Dipolgasen nach der quantenmechanik", in Physikalische Zeitschrift, published by Hirzel in Leipzig, 1926, volume 27, issue 15, 1 August 1926, pp 509-512 in the issue of pp 507-530. Nice issue, cleanly extracted from a larger bound volume Nice copy. VG [++] "In Hamburg [Mensing] worked together with Wolfgang Pauli on the calculation of the electrical polarizability of gases from diatomic molecules with the help of matrix mechanics. The result was also published in 1926 in the Physikalische Zeitschrift [the paper offered here]. This work was another milestone in the application of quantum mechanics." [++] We all know who Pauli is, so I'll let him go on this writeup; Mensing on the other hands was not known to me, but now that I know a little about her, she has become very interesting. [++] A note on Mensing: "Mensing studied mathematics, physics and chemistry at the University of Hamburg.In 1923/24 she wrote a thesis in which she applied the older quantum hypothesis based on Bohr-Sommerfeld's theory. This work was published in the Zeitschrift für Physik in 1925.  In 1925 she received her doctorate under Wilhelm Lenz with a thesis on the influence of electric fields on the width of spectral lines. After her doctorate, she got the opportunity to come to Göttingen and take part in the development of quantum mechanics, where she was advised by Pascual Jordan. She studied the rotational spectrum of diatomic molecules using the methods of matrix mechanics. After Wolfgang Pauli's treatment of the hydrogen atom, this was one of the first applications of the new quantum mechanics to physical systems. In the course of this work she was the first to find the permissible values for the quantum mechanical orbital angular momentum. The results were published in the Zeitschrift für Physik in 1926. In Hamburg she worked together with Wolfgang Pauli on the calculation of the electrical polarizability of gases from diatomic molecules with the help of matrix mechanics. The result was also published in 1926 in the Physikalische Zeitschrift. This work was another milestone in the application of quantum mechanics. She then published in 1926 on the matrix mechanics applied to the partial Paschen-Back effect in continuation of the work of Werner Heisenberg and Pascual Jordan."--Nice writeup from Wikipedia.
