Sommerfeld, Arnold, 1868-1951
Arnold Sommerfeld papers [microform], 1896-1950.
Correspondence, lectures, and manuscripts. A major part of Sommerfeld's papers consist of correspondence (1896-1950) reflecting his professional interests, particularly relating to quantum theory. Topics of his lectures and manuscripts include electron theory, thermodynamics, radiation theory, kinetic gas theory, optics, statistical physics, and heat radiation. Correspondents include: Max Abraham, Ernst Back, Karl Bechert, G. H. Bryan, H. S. Carslaw, C. Cranz, H. Disselhorst, H. du Bois, Paul Ehrenfest, August Fp̲pl, Werner Heisenberg, Heike Kamerlingh Onnes, Felix Klein, Hendrik Antoon Lorentz, Friedrich Paschen, Wolfgang Pauli, F. Pockels, Erwin Schrd̲inger, Ludwik Silberstein, Woldemar Voigt, Heinrich Weber, Wilhelm Wien, and Cornelius Harm Wind.
