Millikan received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1923 for his measurement of the elementary electric charge and his work on the photoelectric effect, but the papers offered here belong to the sustained research program he conducted with Ira Sprague Bowen at the Norman Bridge Laboratory of Physics at Caltech in the years immediately following; a program that produced some of the most precise and significant experimental confirmations of the Bohr atomic model ever obtained. Working in the extreme ultraviolet, a spectral region below 2000 Å then almost entirely unexplored, Millikan and Bowen developed the vacuum spark and grating techniques that made systematic measurement possible, and then applied them to a systematic stripping of successive electrons from light elements, producing hydrogen-like and helium-like ions of carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine, and the second-row elements through chlorine, whose spectra they measured with sufficient precision to test the predictions of Bohr theory term by term. The sequence of papers offered here runs from the 1921 methodological foundation, establishing the grating and wavelength measurement procedures the program required, through the 1924 primary survey of over 800 lines across twenty elements, to the progressive stripped-atom series analyses of boron, nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine, phosphorus, sulphur, and chlorine, culminating in the confirmation that the Moseley law and the x-ray doublet laws govern the entire optical region of the periodic table; a unification of optical and x-ray atomic structure formalisms that laid the direct observational foundation for Bowen's identification, the following year, of the long-mysterious nebulium lines as forbidden transitions of doubly ionized oxygen and nitrogen, one of the landmark results of twentieth-century astrophysics. The unified understanding of atomic electronic structure Millikan and Bowen established underlies the design of the fluorescent lamps, LED lighting, and display screens in everyday use today.

Description de la boutique
Since 1980, Biblioctopus has maintained a highly curated inventory of exceptional rare books and literary manuscripts.

BASICS
Book entries include author (or its equivalent on non¿book items), title (or its equivalent on non¿
book items), place, date, a bibliographical conclusion, and a physical description, typically in that
order. Practical limits in a commercial listing preclude a complete deconstruction, but any aspect
chosen as a digression, for any particular entry, follows the evaluation of many relevant factors at
once, their interdependence, their related importance, and their consequences. We strive to weigh
them fairly, and place them properly in relation to one another, so that, what gets written is not
accidental, but rather the result of an encompassing view, that should have width, breadth and
depth. You can decide whether it has merit
THIS WEBSITE
We built this website the same way the ancients built their cities, over time, with an altering plan, on
top of ruins. So, books in the highlights section are subject to prior sale. Therefore, sustaining the
essence of Biblioctopus, we force you to contact us without the anonymity and cover that more
accommodating businesses may provide in an online shopping experience.
STICKER JOY
We price to challenge other equivalent items of like kind and quality, so everything is marked (or
remarked) to market, by recent world wide survey, the aim being, that no one is offering a finer
example at our price, and no one is offering an equal example for less.
METHODOLOGY
In a stumble towards neo¿scholarship we apply, for example, intellectual history (place within a body
of work), iconography (symbols that point to meaning), iconology (social symbols), semiotics (signs),
formalism (the subjective data), connoisseurship (comparisons within the corpus), and then, any
other techniques that seem interesting, helpful, or appropriate, without the stifling limits usually
imposed by academia.
PLAGIARISM
Old words examine new perspectives and vice versa, so attributed quotations are in quotation
marks, but disparate pithy aphorisms, coy similes, dry metaphors, and wry epigrams, are stolen,
kidnapped, plagiarized, embezzled, and pillaged from everywhere and everyone, then corrupted,
inverted, combined, debauched, and misemployed, all for your happy reading.
ARGOT
We never spin fine into a term for books with faults by using hypnotizing enhancements like fine
plus, fine indeed, very fine, unusually fine, extremely fine, exceptionally fine, exceedingly fine,
unbelievably fine, or unimaginably fine. Restoration and repair are aesthetic, directed at soundness,
and clearly noted, without the use of evasive terminology (jargon). Contemporary means parallel to
the time of publication. Items attributed, as Exsomebody were once owned by that person.
ILLUSTRATIONS
Photography is accomplished with a full frame camera that conveys a straightforward view of
that item. Nothing has been intentionally positioned to hide its failings, the associated text candidly
describes the item itself, not just the faults peculiar to, and obvious in, the picture, and those items,
or sides of items, not illustrated, have their flaws articulated with special clarity.
A COLLECTIVE SOUL
While the range of material may veil it, the items selected have a shared essence.
TIMELINESS
Logically, everything is subject to prior sale.
TAXES
California residents must be charged 9% sales tax, but we give homeboys a discount to even things
out.
DELIVERY
Everything is sent via FedEx, at our expense, but we may take a week to get it wrapped. Purchases under $750, that are to be shipped out of the United States may be sent through a carrier other than FedEx.
ASSURANCES
Everything is guaranteed to be authentic, and way cool, regardless of vintage, but autograph
material, created by the living, is particularly burdened with, and isolated by, specific disclaimers of
warranty.
INSUFFICIENT THRILLS
Everything is deemed to be sold on approval, and anything may be returned, with prompt notice,
within 8 days, for any reason, for a full refund.
