Description
Heading:
Author: Einstein, Albert
Title: Elementare Betrachtungen über die thermische Molekularbewegung in festen Körpern
Place Published: Leipzig
Publisher:Johann Ambrosius Barth
Date Published: 1911
Description: Pp. 679-694. Printed wrappers. Author's offprint.Quantum Theory applied to the chemistry of specific heats. Offprint from 'Annalen der Physik', Vierte Folge, Band 35, 1911. This copy belonged to Hans Albert Einstein, Albert Einstein's oldest son, with his inkstamp above the title on front wrapper; it was very probably presented to him by his father. At upper left corner of front wrapper is the ink number 23, and at upper right it is dated "4.V.11", perhaps in the elder Einstein's hand. In the paper itself, Einstein continues the work he had begun in 1907 on the specific heat of solids, where the heat agitation of solids was reduced to a monochromatic oscillation of the atom, and the specific heat was determined based on the quantum treatment of an oscillator in a radiation field. He explains the discrepancies between his formula and the measurements at low temperatures. OCLC lists two copies of this offprint, locating one of them, at King's College, London. Weil 42.
