Beschreibung

Dampstain to foreedge and bottom edge affecting text margins, toned text, spine tears at head and tail, otherwise light wear. Solid paperback. ; Thesis of Nobel Prize for Physics 1981 laureate. Association copy with ownership signature on front cover of E C Stevenson, co-discoverer of the muon. Both were at Harvard in the second half of 1940s. "The hitherto unexplored field of nuclear magnetic resonance in solids, liquids and gases yielded a rich harvest. The results are laid down in one of the most-cited physics papers, commonly referred to as BPP (N. Bloembergen, E.M. Purcell and R.V. Pound, Phys. Rev. 73, 679, 1948). Essentially the same material appears in my Ph.D. thesis, "Nuclear Magnetic Relaxation", Leiden, 1948, republished by W.A. Benjamin, Inc., New York, in 1961. My thesis was submitted in Leiden because I had passed all required examinations in the Netherlands and because C.J. Gorter, who was a visiting professor at Havard during the summer of 1947, invited me to take a postdoctoral position at the Kamerlingh Onnes Laboratorium. My work in Leiden in 1947 and 1948 resulted in establishing the nuclear spin relaxation mechanism by conduction electrons in metals and by paramagnetic impurities in ionic crystals, the phenomenon of spin diffusion, and the large shifts induced by internal magnetic fields in paramagnetic crystals." - Nobel Prize Biographical. An uncommon landmark work in physics by a Nobel Laureate with the association ownership signature of the co-discoverer of the muon. ; 130, (1)errata pages. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 15413
