Der Bau des Atomkerns und die radioaktivität - GAMOW G.

KORTE INHOUD

Hardcover, dj, in-8, 147 pp.

"Der Bau des Atomkerns und die Radioaktivität" by George Gamow provides a detailed exploration of atomic structure and radioactivity. It is an essential text in understanding the early 20th-century developments in nuclear physics.

The book covers a variety of topics, including:

Atomic Structure: Gamow explains the development of atomic models, especially focusing on the quantum mechanics that emerged in the 1920s, which played a key role in shaping modern physics.

Radioactivity: He delves into the discovery and understanding of radioactivity, exploring the processes by which unstable nuclei decay and emit radiation. This includes discussions on alpha, beta, and gamma radiation.

Nuclear Reactions: The book also discusses nuclear reactions, explaining the processes involved in fission and fusion, which later became crucial to both energy production and weaponry.

Gamow’s Contributions: Known for his work on quantum tunneling, Gamow links his ideas to the phenomenon of alpha decay, providi...
