By Hans A Bethe

Hans A Bethe bought the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1967 for his paintings at the creation of power in stars. A dwelling legend one of the physics neighborhood, he helped to form classical physics into quantum physics and elevated the knowledge of the atomic techniques accountable for the homes of subject and of the forces governing the constructions of atomic nuclei.This number of papers by way of Prof Bethe dates from 1928, whilst he got his PhD, to now. It covers a number of parts and displays the various contributions in study and discovery made through the most vital and eminent physicists of all time. particular commentaries were written by way of Prof Bethe to counterpoint the chosen papers.

Fues, ibid. Vol. 51 , p. 817 (1928). , to the relative magnitudes of the contributions of the crystalline field and the electronic Interaction to the term value. The number of final terms with a definite representation property must turn out the same by the two procedures . The correlation to each other of the individual terms for strong and intermediate crystalline fields can be obtained by the requirement that crystal terms of the entire atom which belong to the same representation of the symmetry group of the crystal must not cross over each other when one thinks of the crystalline field as increasing slowly from intermediate to high strength; Example: In order to be free of the limitations of the Paull principle, we Investigate the terms of a system consisting of two d electrons with different principal quantum numbers nl and ns in a cubic crystal: Case 1: Large splitting in the crystal.

From this it follows at once that the three first-order spherical harmonics, P1 = J3 cos 8 and 42 sin 8 cos tare carried over into each other by symmetry operations of the cubic symmetry group: A P term is not split up ( cf. § 4), the choice of the axis for the spherical harmonics is thus arbitrary , and the directional degeneracy of the angular momentum remains unchanged. If we proceed to the D term , we see at once that by inter hanges of the three crystal axes X , Y. Z the zonal spherical harmonic P11 c 5 2 t2 cos=a - 11 2 can only go over into a function that contains cos (p (or sin (p) either not at all or to the second degree, that is, besides P= itself only 1'2 P2 cos 2rp = J15 sinZay (2 cost (P - 1).
