Pfann describes how and why a drop of gold on a germanium slab moves toward the hottest spot. He says this method was used to "make complex p-n junction shapes for special transistors". He observes the motion of brine on sea ice and proposes the purification of sea water. Further he notes the relation to the physics of geological formations.
The son of George and Hazel (née Wilson) Rayfield, George William Rayfield was born in San Francisco in 1936. [2] [3] In 1958 Rayfield finished a B.S. at Stanford; he earned both an M.S and a Ph.D. in 1964 at the University of California, Berkeley, [4] advised by Frederick Reif, with the dissertation, Quantized vortex rings in superfluid helium.
Walter Alexander Strauss (born 1937) is an American applied mathematician, specializing in partial differential equations and nonlinear waves. His research interests include partial differential equations, mathematical physics, stability theory, solitary waves, kinetic theory of plasmas, scattering theory, water waves, and dispersive waves.
This timeline lists significant discoveries in physics and the laws of nature, including experimental discoveries, theoretical proposals that were confirmed experimentally, and theories that have significantly influenced current thinking in modern physics. Such discoveries are often a multi-step, multi-person process.
Philip Warren Anderson ForMemRS HonFInstP (December 13, 1923 – March 29, 2020) was an American theoretical physicist and Nobel laureate.Anderson made contributions to the theories of localization, antiferromagnetism, symmetry breaking (including a paper in 1962 discussing symmetry breaking in particle physics, leading to the development of the Standard Model around 10 years later), and high ...
Suess earned his Ph.D. in chemistry from the University of Vienna in 1935 under the supervision of Philipp Gross. [2] During World War II, he was part of a team of German scientists studying nuclear power and was advisor to the production of heavy water in a Norwegian plant (see Operation Gunnerside).
In theoretical particle physics, the gluon field is a four-vector field characterizing the propagation of gluons in the strong interaction between quarks.It plays the same role in quantum chromodynamics as the electromagnetic four-potential in quantum electrodynamics – the gluon field constructs the gluon field strength tensor.
Sanjay Puri (born 23 November 1961) is an Indian statistical physicist and a senior professor at the School of Physical Sciences of Jawaharlal Nehru University.Known for his research on non-linear dynamics, Puri is an elected fellow of the Indian Academy of Sciences and the Indian National Science Academy.
