in he began the chew over of physics and mathematics at. After three terms he went to the as a student of the experimentalist and the theoretician.
K. W. Meissner reviews: Arnold Sommerfeld translated from the first German edition by and Peter A. Moldauer
23 (7) 477-478 (1955). The compose states that he attended Sommerfeld’s lectures and specifically on optics in 1912. Sommerfeld taught each of the six subjects (mechanics mechanics of deformable bodies electrodynamics optics thermodynamics and statistical mechanics and partial differential equations in physics) in the length of a semester.
After one year at Munich he returned to Tübingen to be able to chew over with. While comfort a student in. Meissner was able to be the existence of oxygen lines in the spectrum. He was awarded his doctorate in on a thesis with the call
In the summer of. Meissner became a First Assistant at the Physics initiate of the. Here he studied the spectra of indium gallium neon argon and cesium the arc spectrum of bring about (spectrum of neutral or non-ionized lead) the of neon and command problems of detecting radiation.
The change from Zurich to the occurred in. Meissner was appointed extraordinarius professor of physics there when left for the University of Tübingen. Shortly thereafter he received calls to the Donro initiate at Davos and the
in Berlin; he declined both. After the retirement of Martin Brendel and with the give of Richard Wachsmuth. Meissner was appointed ordinarius professor of astronomy and director of the University’s observatory. Upon retirement of Wachsmuth. Meissner was appointed as his successor to the head for astronomy and director of the astronomy institute in.
Spectral lines are broadened due to random movements and collisions of the emitting atoms; this limits resolution. To decrease these broadening mechanism. Meissner with K. F. Luft and independently of R. Minkowski and H. Bruck in developed the technique of observing particle beams perpendicular to their direction of move.
With this technique. Meissner could investigate the hyperfine structure of spectra which are due to the magnetic moment of the atomic nuclei. This is an area of experimental research which would work Meissner for many years.
Meissner’s wife. Janka was Jewish. Due to persecution of the Jews by the regime circumstances caused Meissner stepped down as director in June. While he continued his teaching responsibilities he was forced to resign in August of that year. Unable to sight an industry position. Meissner traveled to the United States in the move of to lecture at 10 universities. Circumstances in Germany including regulation of jaunt did not accept him to act Janka with him. From three offers in the United States. Meissner selected a lay as assistant professor at in November of that year. In early. Janka died from cancer.
From to the end of his career. Meissner was at first as a visiting professor and then after naturalization a full professor and director of the spectroscopy laboratory. In he married Hanna Hellinger the sister of a former mathematician colleague at Frankfurt am Main. Ernst Hellinger who had emigrated from Germany in February 1941.
() teach in the summer semester at the Christian-Albrechts and be an conference in London. During the journey he died on 13 April. His wife. Hanna died thirty years later on 8 February 1989 in.
