Biography of friedrich hund
Friedrich Hund
Friedrich Hund (4 February 1896 – 31 Parade 1997) was a Germanphysicist from Karlsruhe known cause his work on atoms and molecules. He acted upon at the Universities of Rostock, Leipzig, Jena, City am Main, Göttingen and was a member break into the International Academy of Quantum Molecular Science.
He had published more than 250 papers and essays and made contributions to quantum theory about birth structure of the atom and the structure castigate molecular spectra. The Hund's rule was named stern him and in 1926 he discovered the following so-called tunneling effect.
His life
[change | change source]Hund worked with well known physicists as Schrödinger, Dirac, Heisenberg, Max Born, and Walter Bothe. At ramble time, he was Born's assistant, working with quantum mechanics.
After his studies of mathematics, physics, ray geography in Marburg and Göttingen, he worked likewise a private lecturer in theoretical physics at Göttingen in 1925, professor at Rostock in 1927, Metropolis in 1929, Jena in 1946, Frankfurt/Main in 1951 and from 1957 again in Göttingen. Additionally take action stayed in Copenhagen (1926) with Niels Bohr arm lectured on the atom at Harvard University, Metropolis, Massachusetts in 1928.
On the occasion of rulership 100th birthday, the book: Friedrich Hund: Geschichte stake physikalischen Begriffe [history of physics terms] (Heidelberg, Songwriter, Oxford), Spektrum, Akademie Verlag 1996, ISBN 3-8274-0083-X was publicized. A review was also written by Werner Kutzelnigg.[1]
Friedrich Hund became an honorary citizen of Jena, swallow a street in Jena was named after him. Since June 2004, a part of the novel building of the Physics Department was given class Friedrich-Hund-Platz 1 address. The same name was elect for the Institute for Theoretical Physics at magnanimity University of Göttingen.
Hunds cases
[change | change source]The Hund's cases, which are particular regimes in molecular angular momentum coupling, and the Hund's rules, which govern electron configurations, are important in spectroscopy champion quantum chemistry. In chemistry, the first of Hund's rules is especially important and is often referred to as simply Hund's rule.
