I discuss the family background and early life of the German theoretical physicist Fritz Reiche (1883–1969) in Berlin; his
higher education at the University of Berlin under Max Planck (1858–1947); his subsequent work at the University of Breslau
with Otto Lummer (1860–1925); his return to Berlin in 1911, where he completed his Habilitation thesis in 1913, married Bertha
Ochs the following year, became a friend of Albert Einstein (1879–1955), and worked during and immediately after the Great
War. In 1921 he was appointed as ordentlicher Professor of Theoretical Physics at the University of Breslau and worked there until he was dismissed in 1933. He spent the academic
year 1934–1935 as a visiting professor at the German University in Prague and then returned to Berlin, where he remained until,
with the crucial help of his friend Rudolf Ladenburg (1882–1952) and vital assistance of the Emergency Committee in Aid of
Displaced Foreign Scholars, he, his wife Bertha, and their daughter Eve were able to emigrate to the United States in 1941
(their son Hans had already emigrated to England in 1939).From 1941–1946 he held appointments at the New School for Social
Research in New York, the City College of New York, and Union College in Schenectady, New York, and then was appointed as
an Adjunct Professor of Physics at New York University, where his contract was renewed year-by-year until his retirement in
1958. 相似文献

I discuss the contributions of physicists who have lived and worked in New York City within the context of the high schools, colleges, universities, and other institutions with which they were and are associated. I close with a walking tour of major sites of interest in Manhattan. 相似文献

We trace the history of physics at New York University after its founding in 1831, focusing especially on its relatively recent
history, which can be divided into five periods: the Gregory Breit period from 1929 to 1934; the prewar period from 1935 to
1941; the wartime period from 1942 to 1945; the postwar period from around 1961 to 1973 when several semiautonomous physics
departments were united into a single all-university department under a single head; and after 1973 when the University Heights
campus was sold to New York City and its physics department joined the one at the Washington Square campus. For each of these
periods we comment on the careers and work of prominent members of the physics faculty and on some of the outstanding graduate
students who later went on to distinguished careers at NYU and elsewhere. 相似文献

I have written this personal memoir approximately 55 years after the events I describe. It is based almost exclusively on memory, since apart from the diary I kept while on Tinian, I have few documents concerning it. It covers my service in the U.S. Army's Special Engineering Detachment (SED) in Oak Ridge and Los Alamos in 1944-45, on Tinian island, the launching pad for the bombing raids on Japan, in the summer and fall of 1945, and my return to Los Alamos until my discharge in January 1946. 相似文献

When Sam Goudsmit was 23, he and George Uhlenbeck hypothesized that the electron had spin. Sam was a well-known atomic physicist working at the University of Michigan when World War II began. During the war he first worked on radar at the MIT Radiation Lab, and then in the waning days of the war in Europe he led a mission to determine how far the Nazis had gotten in developing an atomic bomb. After chairing the Physics Department at Brookhaven, in 1950 APS named Goudsmit Managing Editor of Physical Review and Reviews of Modern Physics; in 1966 he was named Editor-in-Chief. He founded Physical Review Letters in 1958. 相似文献
