ZEEMAN, Pieter. A set of Zeeman's papers leading up to and describing his discovery of the Zeeman magneto-optical effect, comprising:
Metingin over den invloed eener magnetisatie, loodrecht op het invalsvlak op het door een ijzerspiegel ternuggekaatske light. Offprint from: Koninklijke Akademie van Wetenschappen te Amsterdam, Zittingverslag der Wis- in Natuurkundige Afdeeling. Amsterdam, 27 June 1896.
Metingen over de apsorptie van electrische trillingen van verschillenden trillingstija in verschillend geconcentreerde electrolyten. Offprint from: Koninklijke Akademie van Wetenschappen te Amsterdam, Zittingverslag der Wis- in Natuurkundige Afdeeling. Amsterdam, 26 September 1896.
Over den invloed eener magnetisatie op den aard van het door een stof nitgezonden licht. Offprint from: Koninklijke Akademie van Wetenschappen te Amsterdam, Zittingverslag der Wis- in Natuurkundige Afdeeling. Amsterdam, 31 October 1896.
Over den invloed eener magnetisatie op den aard van het door eene stof nitgenzonden licht, II. Offprint from: Koninklijke Akademie van Wetenschappen te Amsterdam, Zittingverslag der Wis- in Natuurkundige Afdeeling. Amsterdam, 9 December 1896.
Mesures relatives au phénomène de Kerr dans la réflexion polaire sur le fer, le cobalt et le nickel... Offprint from: Archives Néerlandaises, T. 27. Folding plates.
Metingen over de absorptie van electrische trillingen in electrolyten. Offprint from: Zittingverslag der Wis- en Natuurkundige Afdeeling, 1895. This copy with Zeeman's signature on front wrapper and a few manuscript corrections.
Metingen over de absorptie van electrische trillingen in verschillende stroomlen. Offprint from: Zittingverslag der Wis- en Natuurkundige Afdeeling, 1895. This copy with the title corrected in by Zeeman to "verschillende electrolyten" and other manuscript corrections throughout.
Another copy. This copy with the title corrected by Zeeman to "verschillende electrolyten" and his signature on front wrapper.
Together 8 volumes, 8o. Folding plate in the second paper. Original printed wrappers (horizontal creases where folded).
FIRST EDITIONS, offprint issues. THE AUTHOR'S OWN ANNOTATED COPIES, SIGNED BY ZEEMAN ON EACH FRONT WRAPPER AND WITH NUMEROUS ANNOTATIONS BY ZEEMAN IN THE FIRST THREE PAPERS. The Zeeman Effect--the polarization of spectral lines by a magnetic field--provided 20th-century physics with one of its most useful and powerful investigative tools. Zeeman conducted his main research on the Zeeman effect between 1896 and 1913. In 1902 Zeeman shared the Nobel Prize in physics with his mentor H.A. Lorentz, whose electromagnetic theory explained Zeeman's results and guided him in the extension and refinement of his discovery.
Zeeman was a student of Kamerlingh Onnes and an assistant to Lorentz. He found early inspiration in the work of Michael Faraday. Noting that Faraday, in 1862, had unsuccessfully tried to influence the light emission of sodium vapor by a magnetic field, Zeeman was moved to try Faraday's experiment again, taking advantage of the great improvements in spectroscopy that had been made in the three decades since Faraday's attempt. The result of his experiments was the discovery of the "Zeeman effect," which "later proved to be a powerful tool for unravelling atomic structure, and decisive for the discovery of Pauli's principle, for the electron spin, for details on the mechanism of emission, and more" (Segrè, pp.13-15). Zeeman presented his results to the Amsterdam Academy of Sciences on 31 October 1896, following up on them four weeks later (November 28) at the next meeting of the Academy. Both of these historic papers are included here. (8)
