Zur Frage der Einwirkung der Wärmebewegung auf die Interferenz von Röntgenstrahlen. - [THE DEBYE-WALLER FACTOR]
Berlin, Springer, 1923. 8vo. Bound in contemporary half cloth with gilt lettering, In ""Zeitschrift für Physik"", Band 17, 1923. Library stamp to title page, otherwise fine and clean. Pp. 398-408. [Entire volume offered: IV, 424 pp.].
First printing of the complete and accurate Debye-Waller factor. Peter Debye introduced the concept in 1913 but it was not untill Waller in 1923 with the present publication gave the complete fully usefull Debye-Waller factor.The Debye-Waller factor is the ratio of the coherent scattering or absorption cross section of a photon or electron by particles bound in a complex system to the value for the same process on an analgous free particle. It is often interpreted also as the probability of the coherent process, normalized to unity, with the difference between unity and the Debye Waller factor interpreted as the probability of incoherent processes.
Linienstrukturen an Bruchflächen. - [MODERN FORENSIC SCIENCE - WALLNER LINES]
Berlin, Springer, 1939. 8vo. In contemporary halv cloth with gilt lettering to spine. In ""Zeitschrift für Physik"", Bd. 114, 1939. Entire volume offered. Stamp to front free end-paper and titlepage, otherwise fine and clean. Pp. 368-78. [Entire volume: VIII, 749 pp.].
First printing of Wallner's important paper on microscopic lines - Wallner Lines - in various materials. Wallner lines are microscopic fractures that propagate on a rigid surface. Using the Wallner lines, it is possible to determine the speed at which a surface is cracked. The method works for example on glass, epoxy, tungsten and carbon-filled rubber. The measurement of Wallner lines are a standard method of modern forensic science.

In-Band Single-Frequency Signaling. [Manuscript received June 7, 1954]. - [THE MOST INFAMOUS ARTICLE IN BELL]
New York, American Telephone and Telegraph Company, 1954. 8vo. The entire volume XXXIII (Part I-II), 1954 of The Bell System Technical Journal bound in a nice full green cloth. Library stamp to free front end-paper and title page. Minor discolouring to extremities. Binding tight, clean and fresh. Also internally very nice and clean. Pp. 1309-1330. [Entire volume: 1400 pp.]
First edition of this famous and influential paper, which described the process used for routing telephone calls over trunk lines. The article revealed the internal operation of the long distance switching system in use at that time. This information caused hackers and phone phreaks to develop the Blue Box which enabled them to make free long-distance calls. Among the more famous phreaks can be found the two Apple founders Steve Wozniak and Steve Jobs. The use of the Blue Box developed into a sub-culture and many of its users ended up with jail sentences for hacking. The article is now widely regarded as being the most infamous article in The Bell System Techinal Journal.

Die specifischen Wärmen der Elemente Kohlenstoff, Bor und Silicium. (2 Parts).
Leipzig, Johann Ambrosius Barth, 1875. Contemp. hcalf. Spine gilt. raised bands. Spine slightly rubbed. In ""Annalen der Physik und Chemie. Hrsg. von J.C. Poggendorff"", Bd. 154. X,644 pp. and 5 folded engraved plates. (Entire volume offered). Weber's paper: pp. 367-423 a. pp. 553-582.
First appearance of this importent paper in which Weber was able to explain why the Law of Dulon & Petit, based on the specific heat of only thirteen elements, was only approximately true. ""An explanation of this anomalous behaviour is to be found in the fact that, as shown by the physicist Heinrich Friedrich Weber, and confirmed by many workers in more recent times, the atomic heat increases at different rates with rise of temperature.... A theoretical basis for this law was obtained in more recent times by P. Debye.""(Findley ""A Hundred Years of Chemistry"", p. 77-78).""The three curious exceptions (C, B, Si) to the Dulong-Petit Law which were until now a cause for despair have been eliminated: the Dulong-Petit law for the specific heats of solid elements has become an exceptional rigorous law...""(Weber).On Albert Einstein and Weber's specific heat, see Pais: ""Subtle is the Lord"", pp. 389 ff.

Scarce first edition. ""In the early 1770s, while still studying theology, Weber bought an electrival machine from an old-clothes peddler. The purchase showed its value in 1778 when, just after his ordination, he won the prize from the Bavarian Academy of Sciences for an 'air electrophore', an air condenser with a movable coating, whose action he explained in the modern manner, using 'atmosphere' to mean 'sphere of activity'""(J.L. Heilbron).Poggendorff II, 1271. - Ronalds Library, p. 526.
