Descripción

4to (296 x 210 mm). [1-3] 4-20 pp., text diagrams. Original publisher's printed wrappers (very light fading along spine and edges). Text very little age-tonend, mostly to outer margins. An almost pristine copy. ---- Dibner 168; Norman 963; DSB VI, pp. 16-17. FIRST EDITION, OFFPRINT ISSUE, of one of Hahn and Strassmann's fundamental papers on nuclear fission. In their radiochemical investigations they observed that neutron bombardment of uranium produced highly radioactive material, including the chemical elements barium, lanthanum and cerium. It was their collaborator Lise Meitner (at that time in Swedish exile from Nazi Germany), who interpreted their observations as nuclear fission. It remained to Bohr and Fermi to apply fission to the making of the atomic bomb, a project with which neither Hahn nor Strassmann had any involvement. Hahn was awarded the 1944 Nobel Prize in chemistry. (see R. Sohlmann et al. Nobel, the man and his prizes, p. 387). - Visit our website to see more images!. N° de ref. del artículo 003367
