| Beskrivelse | Wolfgang Pauli and Niels Bohr playing with a "Tippetop". |
| Bemærkning | Wolfgang Pauli (1900 - 1958) studied at the Ludwig-Maximilian University of Munich under Arnold Sommerfeld. He wrote his first paper on quantum physics in June 1920, a work on the magnetic properties of matter. Pauli received his doctorate, which had been supervised by Arnold Sommerfeld, in July 1921, for a thesis on the quantum theory of ionised molecular hydrogen.
Two months after the award of his doctorate Pauli's survey of the theory of relativity was published. His genius was immediately recognised by Einstein. Pauli was then appointed to Göttingen University,where he first met Niels Bohr. He eagerly accepted an invitation to the year 1922-23 at Bohr's Institute. He is best known for the Pauli exclusion principle , proposed in 1925, which states that no two electrons in an atom can have the same four quantum numbers. He was awarded the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1945. A "Tippe Top" is a small spinning top which will start out spinning as a normal top, but soon turns over and spins on the stem. OLDb067 |
