Atomvorgänge und ihre sichbarmachung. Vortrag gehalten in der M¥nchner chemischen Gessellschaft am 16. Juli 1925 -- EDITION ORIGINALE
Stuttgart, Enke, 1926, un volume in 8, broché, couverture imprimée, 32pp.
---- EDITION ORIGINALE ---- "L. Meitner and O. Hahn discovered in 1917 the most stable isotope of the leement 91 which they named protactinium... With Strassmann, O. Hahn, she endeavored to determine the chimical and physical properties of transuranium elements... With his nephew, Otto Frisch, she correctly interpreted the transmutation from uranium to barium as a splitting of the uranium nucleus and named it fission". (DSB VI art. Hahn pp. 16 & 17) ---- Partington IV p. 945-46**3633/ARM4

Possible Existence of a Neutron (Chadwick). (Bound with:) Disintegration of Uranium by Neutrons: a New Type of Nuclear Reaction (Meitner and Frisch). (Withbound:) Physical Evidence for the Division of Heavy Nuclei under Neutron Bombardment. (Frisch). ... - [DISCOVERY OF THE NEUTRON - THE ATOMIC BOMB.]
London, Nature, 1932 a.1939. 4to. Blank wrappers. All 4 extracted from ""Nature"" Nos. 3252 (Febr. 1932), 3615 (Febr.1939), 3616 ( Febr. 1939) and 3620 (March 1939).
All four papers in first edition. In 1932 James Chadwich proved the existence of th atomic particles carrying no electric charge which, for this reason, he called 'neutrons' (the first item offered here). ""In 1934 Senator Corbino, head of the physics department at the University of Rome, urged Enrico Fermi and his collaborators, among whom was Brune Pontecorvo, to patent a proces they had perfected for the production of artificial radio-activity by slow neutron bombardement. This process was a by-product of repetitions and enlargements of a discovery by Irene Curie and her husband Fredeic Joliot that the bombardment of certain light elements with alpha particles induced radio-activity. Further experiments conducted in 1938 at Berlin by Hahn and Strassmann were reported by Lise Meitner...She and her nephew, O.R. Frisch, working with Niels Bohr's laboratory, found the true explanation of these phenomena. The interpolation of a neutron into the nucleus of a uranium atom caused it to divide into two parts and to release energy amounting to about 200,000,000 electron volts. This process bore such a close similarity to the division of a living cell that Frisch suggested the use of the term 'fission' to describe it.....Halban, Jolio and Kowarski established the theoretical possibility of a self-perpetuating reaction...""

Berlin, Julius Springer, 1921. 8vo. Entire volume 4 of ""Zeitschrift für Physik"" bound in contemporary black half cloth with gilt lettering to spine. Library stamp to title-page and traces of paper label pasted on to lower part of spine. Minor wear to extremities. A nice and clean copy. [Klein & Rosseland:] Pp. 46-51" [Meitner:] Pp. 146-56 [Coster:] Pp. 178-88" [Schrödinger:] Pp. 347-354. [Ladenburg:] Pp. 451-468. [Entire volume: IV, 476 pp.].
First printing of this collection of influential papers within 20th century physics. Klein and Rosseland's paper (ÜBER ZUSAMMENSTÖSE ZWISCHEN ATOMEN UND FREIEN ELEKTRONEN) created an entire new field of physics: Collisions of the second kind. Klein and Rosseland discovered that and electron in an excited state could jump to a lower state without radiation with the released energy being transferred to a free electron as kinetic energy. ""Franck and Hertz had shown how collisions between atoms and free electrons could cause excitation of the atoms, involving the transition of an electron from one stationary state to another of higher energy, the difference being equal to the loss of energy of the free electron. Klein and Rosseland considered the equation as how this would influence the thermal equilibrium between the atomic systems and free electron when Einstein's considerations of 1917 on the statistical equilibrium between blackbody radiation and atoms were used."" (Thorsen. The Penetration of Charged Particles Through Matter. P. 27.)Niels Bohr took a great interest in the paper and his correspondences reveal that he had great expectations regarding the utility of the concept of collisions of the second kind. Ladenburg's paper (DIE QUANTENTHEORETISCHE DEUTUNG DER ZAHL DER DISPERSIONSELEKTRONEN) is the first printing of the first step towards the formulation of a quantum-theoretic interpretation of dispersion (the Ladenburg-Equation). Ladenburg's results were later (1924) generalized by Kramers in his ""The Law of dispersion and Bohr's Theory of Spectra."".
