J. H. Van Vleck: quantum theory and magnetism [sound recording], 2011 March 22.
Audio recording of session L8 of the March 2011 annual meeting of the American Physical Society, held in Dallas, TX in March 2011. This session was sponsored by the American Physical Society (APS) Forum on the History of Physics (FHP) and chaired by Chun Lin, University of Wisconsin. Talks (and speakers) include: "Van Vleck from Spectroscopy to Susceptibilities: Kuhn Losses Regained" (Michel Janssen); "J. H. Van Vleck and Magnetism at the University of Wisconsin: 1928-1934" (David Huber); "My interactions with J. H. Van Vleck as a student and colleague at Harvard" (Nicolaas Bloembergen); "Remembering Van: Three Madison families, and other tales" (Charles P. Slichter); "Van Vleck and the magnetic susceptibilities of gaseous molecules" (Horst Meyer). Topics discussed include J. H. Van Vleck; quantum theory; magnetism; spectroscopy; Van Vleck's time at the University of Wisconsin; C. J. Gorter; E. M. Purcell; Harvard University; nuclear spin.
This professional society of educators, industrial and government research workers, and students of physics and related fields, was established in 1899 to promote the advancement and diffusion of the knowledge of physics. It was a founding Member Society of the American Institute of Physics. The American Physical Society (APS) meetings are a forum for scientists to gather and share research results on a wide range of physics and physics-related topics.
