Sommerfeld in a sentence

Because Sommerfeld had a sincere interest in his students and knew of Heisenberg's interest in Niels Bohr 's theories on atomic physics, Sommerfeld took Heisenberg to Göttingen to the Bohr-Festspiele (Bohr Festival) in June 1922.

Adam Sommerfeld told BBC Radio 5 Live's Monday Night Club it is a trend he thinks will continue.

Serena Sommerfeld passed the puck to Watts, who took a slapshot from the blue line.

So Sommerfeld’s theory had a radical misconception at its very heart.

Arnold Sommerfeld identified this adiabatic invariant as the action variable of classical mechanics.

Calculations based on the Bohr–Sommerfeld model were able to accurately explain a number of more complex atomic spectral effects.

Further applying special relativity theory to the elliptic orbits, Sommerfeld succeeded in deriving the correct expression for the fine structure of hydrogen spectra (which happens to be exactly the same as in the most elaborate Dirac theory).

He received his doctorate in 1923, at Munich under Sommerfeld.

However, Sommerfeld stayed in his chair during the selection process for his successor, which took until 1 December 1939.

However, the appointment of Wilhelm Müller to replace Sommerfeld was a political victory over academic standards.

In 1916, Arnold Sommerfeld added elliptical orbits to the Bohr model to explain the extra emission lines, but this made the model very difficult to use, and it still couldn't explain more complex atoms.

In 1935, the Munich Faculty drew up a list of candidates to replace Sommerfeld as ordinarius professor of theoretical physics and head of the Institute for Theoretical Physics at the University of Munich.

In January 1921, Schrödinger finished his first article on this subject, about the framework of the Bohr-Sommerfeld effect of the interaction of electrons on some features of the spectra of the alkali metals.

It is often alleged, that the Schrödinger equation is superior to the Bohr-Sommerfeld theory in describing the hydrogen atom.

It is possible to rotate objects with discrete orientations to produce superpositions of other discrete orientations, and this resolves the intuitive paradoxes of the Sommerfeld model.

It was the complete failure of the Bohr-Sommerfeld theory to explain many-electron systems (such as the helium atom or the hydrogen molecule) which demonstrated its inadequacy in describing quantum phenomena.

Multiperiodic motion Bohr Sommerfeld quantization Bohr's correspondence principle provided a way to find the semiclassical quantization rule for a one degree of freedom system.

Nevertheless, supporters of Deutsche Physik launched vicious attacks against leading theoretical physicists, including Arnold Sommerfeld and Heisenberg.

Shortly after, Sommerfeld incorporated the Fermi–Dirac statistics into the free electron model and made it better able to explain the heat capacity.

Sommerfeld has however used different notation for the quantum numbers.
