| Bemærkning | George Gamow (1904 - 1968) was a Russian physicist.
After graduation from the University of Leningrad in 1926, he attended summer school in Gottingen and decided to see if the newly formulated quantum theory, so successful in explaining the structure of the atom, could also be applied to the atomic nucleus. Through research he was able to explain the then-mysterious phenomenon of natural radioactivity. He worked with Bohr in Copenhagen between 1929 and 1930. In 1934 he emigrated to USA where he worked at the George Washington University and the University of Colorado. In 1956 he was awarded the Kalinga Prize by UNESCO for popularization of science. Sir Chandrasekhara Venkata Raman (1888 - 1970) was offered the newly endowed Palit Chair of Physics at Calcutta University in 1917. After 15 years at Calcutta, he became Professor at the Indian Institute of Science at Bangalore (1933-1948), after1948 he was Director of the Raman Institute of Research at Bangalore, established and endowed by himself. He also founded the Indian Journal of Physics in 1926. In 1922 he published his work on the “Molecular Diffraction of Light”, the first of a series of investigations with his collaborators which ultimately led to his discovery, on the 28th of February, 1928, of the radiation effect which bears his name. He won the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1930. Oskar Benjamin Klein (1894 - 1977) was a Swedish Physicist.He worked with Niels Bohr in Copenhagen between 1918 and 1921 and again between 1925 and 1926. From 1926 he worked at Lund University and collaborated with Bohr on the Correspondence and Complementarity theories. He was the co-originator of the Klein-Gordon equation. He became a professor at Stockholm University in 1930. Ebbe Kjeld Rasmussen (1901 - 1959) graduated from Copenhagen University in 1926. After graduation he worked at the Polytechnical Institute (now the Technical University of Denmark - DTU). From 1928 he worked at UITF becoming a professor at Copenhagen University in 1956. From 1965, the University of Copenhagen Institute for Theoretical Physics. (UITF - Universitetets Institut for Teoretisk Fysik) was renamed the Niels Bohr Institute (NBI). |
