Lucy Julia Hayner papers, 1922-1937.
The papers of Lucy Julia Hayner represent her early work while a graduate student and a teaching assistant at Columbia University (1920-1925), as a research physicist at General Electric (1925-1928), and while a professor at Columbia (1929-1937). The papers show her research on the "shot effect" of electron emissions in vacuum tubes. There are notes on "arc" research, notes and drafts of her 1925 Columbia Ph.D. dissertation: THE PERSISTENCE OF THE RADIATION EXCITED IN MERCURY VAPOR, files of notes on "secondary emissions," and notes and manuscript and typescript drafts of her two articles "Shot Effect of Secondary Electron Currents" (PHYSICS VI, Oct. 1935) and "Shot Effect of Secondary Electorns from Nickel and Beryllium" (THE PHYSICAL REVIEW, LII, Nov. 1, 1937). The second article was co-authored by her husband, Bernhard Kurrelmeyer and there are also notes and drafts by him. Also, manuscripts and notes for his article "The Photoelectric Conductivity of Sulphur" (1927); and a few letters from other physicists relating to the publication of these articles.
Physicist. Hayner (Mrs. Bernhard Kurrelmeyer) was professor of physics at Columbia University, 1929-1971. She had also been a research physicist for General Electric, 1925-1928.
