Peierls, Rudolf E. (Rudolf Ernst), 1907-1995
Physicists I have known, 1974.
A colloquium given by Peierls on June 14, 1974 at the Clarendon Laboratory at Oxford University upon his retirement. Peierls discusses his early training in quantum mechanics with Arnold Sommerfeld in Munich and Werner Heisenberg in Leipzig; his studies of crystal lattices with Wolfgang Pauli in Zurich; his work with Enrico Fermi in Rome; at the Cavendish Laboratory, University of Cambridge with Paul Dirac and William Fowler; at the University of Manchester; the Mond Laboratory at Cambridge; the University of Birmingham; in New York at Columbia University during World War II and at Los Alamos also during the war; and finally his work in nuclear and solid state physics at Oxford University.
Peierls died in 1995.
