  Fritz London - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Fritz Wolfgang London (March 7, 1900–March 30, 1954) was a German-born American physicist for whom the London force is named.
London was also one of the early authors (including Schrödinger) who have properly understood the principle of the local gauge invariance (Weyl) in the context of the then new quantum mechanics.
London was born in Breslau, then in Germany but now in Poland, and emigrated to the United States in 1939.

 NationMaster - Encyclopedia: Fritz London
Fritz London was the first theoretical physicist who made the fundamental, and at the time controversial, suggestion that superfluidity is intrinsically related ot the Einstein condensation of bosons, a phenomenon now known euphemistically as the Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) although Bose had nothing to do with the theory of the condensation of bosons.
London was also one of the early authors (including Schroedinger) who have properly understood the principle of the local gauge invariance (Weyl) in the context of the then new quantum mechanics.
Fritz London moved on to the USA to join the faulty at Duke University in 1939, where he continued to contribute to the study of superfluidity and cryogenics (1939–54).

London's early work was in philosophy, and he presented his original dissertation at the age of 21 at the University of Munich.

 NationMaster - Encyclopedia: London force
London forces are much weaker than other intermolecular forces such as ionic interactions, hydrogen bonding, or dipole-dipole interactions.
Without London forces, there would be no attractive force between these molecules and they could not then be obtained in a liquid form.
London forces, named after the German physicist Fritz London, are weak intermolecular forces that arise from the attractive force between transient dipoles (or better multipoles) in molecules without permanent multipole moments.

 B. The London Moment and SQUID: Reading the Unreadable
Fritz London, a physical scientist, was experimenting in the early 1900's with metals with a unique property called "superconductivity." This is a property of only some metals and alloys in which the metal (or alloy) conducts electricity without any resistance.
London discovered something remarkable about these superconducting metals; he discovered that when a superconducting metal sphere spins (or an object coated with a superconducting metal spins), it creates a magnetic field around itself.
Using the London moment to monitor the gyroscope's orientation is the one readout scheme perfect for Gravity Probe B: extremely sensitive, extremely stable, applicable to a perfect sphere, and- most importantly- exerts no significant reaction force on the gyroscope.

 London moment - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
London moment is a quantum-mechanical phenomenon whereby a spinning superconductive metal sphere generates a magnetic field whose axis lines up exactly with the spin axis.
The term may also refer to the magnetic moment of any rotation of any superconductor, caused by the electrons lagging behind the rotation of the object.
Named for the physical scientist Fritz London, and moment as in magnetic moment.

 London force
London forces, named after the German physicist Fritz London[?], are weak intermolecular forces that arise from the attractive force between transient dipoles in otherwise nonpolar molecules.
London forces are also called London dispersion forces.
London forces can be exhibited by nonpolar species because electrons move about a molecule probabilistically.

 Fritz London Biography | World of Chemistry
Fritz London discovered practical applications of quantum mechanics and is known primarily for his work with the explanation of the covalent bond in hydrogen.
Fritz London received a classical education in high school, and his university studies followed the same pattern.
In his 1954 introduction to London's second volume of Superfluids, Felix Bloch described the duo's success with the hydrogen molecule as an illustration of "the direct connection between pure quantum phenomena and some of the most striking facts of chemistry." In 1927 London and Heitler published a paper detailing the results of their analysis.

 Fritz
Fritz’s mother had been German, but she had died when he was four, crashed her car on Gloucester Road, drunk one morning.
Fritz had gone back inside, bought a cup of coffee and smoked a cigarette, then caught the train back to Cambridge, where Dieter was waiting beside a car full of three years’ accumulated junk and a degree engraved in Latin.
Fritz looks up from the computer, where he’s logging in his timecard, says: “Louis Denby, Master of the Obvious.” It had taken him three months—the length of Harold’s second divorce—to figure out Denby’s elusive forename, and he uses it only rarely, primarily because he believes in conservation of ammunition.

 London Dispersion Forces   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
The simplest of the intermolecular forces, termed London dispersion forces after their discoverer Fritz London, arise (simplistically) from the weak attractive force of the electrons on one molecule for the nuclei of another molecule.
To understand London forces, consider the fact that it is possible to prepare liquids of the Group VIII inert gases.
The cumulative effect of London forces is vividly illlustrated by remembering that methane (gas), octane (free flowing liquid), octadecane (grease) and parafin wax (solid) all have exactly the same intermolecular forces and differ only by their number of carbons.

He was among the few pioneers who deliberately chose, once atoms and molecules were understood, not to focus his research on further subdividing the atom into its ultimate constituents, but on exploring how quantum theory could work, and be observed, on the macroscopic scale.
In 1935, London was the first to propose that superfluidity was Bose-Einstein condensation, and then in the late 1930s, with his brother Heinz, he developed the first heuristic theory of superconductivity.
