Abstract: Hantaro Nagaoka became the foremost Japanese professor of modern physics during the early 20th-century and was best known for his Saturnian model of the atom first proposed in 1903.
Nagaoka pursued his theoretical model as a tool to account for line and band spectra, the interactions of atoms, radioactivity, and other phenomena.
Hantaro Nagaoka (長岡半太郎 Nagaoka Hantarō) (1865 – 1950) was a Japanese physicist.

Hantaro Nagaoka (長岡半太郎 Nagaoka Hantarō) (1865 – December 11, 1950) was a Japanese physicist and a pioneer of Japanese physics in the early Meiji period.
From 1901 to 1925, Nagaoka was a professor of physics at the University of Tokyo, where his pupils include Kotaro Honda and 1949 Nobel Prize winner Hideki Yukawa.
Nagaoka crater on the Moon is named after him.

However, Nagaoka abandoned the model a few years later when the research of J. Thomson determined a fatal flaw.
Most histories of modern physics stop at this juncture where they speak well of Nagaoka for his work on an atomic model while faulting him for basing his model on obsolete classical physics.
How to view Nagaoka and his spectroscopic research in these developments is the goal of my paper.

Nagaoka stated that when a discharge was passed through drops of Hg falling between iron electrodes, the formation of silver and other elements was observed.
Haber apparently made the comment before he had completed his analyses of the electrodes, etc, and determined them to be the source of the Au.
Most of the criticism of Miethe, Stammreich, and Nagaoka's experimental work focused on the questionable purity of the mercury they used.

The currently accepted model for what is going on with the electrons was formulated by Erwin Schrodinger in 1926 and it is still much the same with a few refinements.
The earlier view, put forth by Hantaro Nagaoka in 1904, likening the orbit of the electrons to that of the planets around the sun, was supplanted by these findings.
Because of the wave nature of the the electrons, their exact location at any point in time is not determinable, but rather is a matter of probability.

Kinetics of a System of Particles illustrating the Line and the Band Spectrum and the Phenomena of Radioactivity.

This question, which has been agitating the scientific world for the past 2 years, was thrashed out at a hot session of the German Chemical Society at Berlin, crowded with dramatic situations and personal clashes of the debating scientists.
Miethe and Dr. Hantaro Nagaoka, who independently worked out the process by which they claim to have produced gold from a baser metal, massed an attack against the German and Japanese scientists, and were met by the stout defense of their supporters.
Riesenfeld of the University of Berlin declared that distillation of mercury to absolute purity was impossible -- that there would always be traces of gold present to vitiate the results of the experiment.

This theory of atomic structure is known as the Rutherford atomic model.
Although in 1904 Hantaro Nagaoka, a Japanese physicist, had proposed an atomic model with electrons rotating in rings about a central nucleus, it was not taken seriously, because, according to classical electrodynamics, electrons in orbit would have a centripetal
It was not until 1913 that Niels Bohr, a Danish physicist, postulated that electrons, contrary to classical electrodynamics, do not radiate energy during rotation and do indeed move in orbits about a central nucleus, thus upholding the convictions of Nagaoka and Rutherford.

Rutherford concluded that the positive ions in atoms occupied a very small region (contrary to the plum pudding model) with the electron somehow distributed around it.
This had been suggested earlier by a Japanese physicist Hantaro Nagaoka.
But the model found it hard to gain acceptance because it was hard to imagine how one could hold up the negatively charged electrons without it falling back to the positively charged nucleus.

In "Analogy in Science," I drew from the work of psychologist Dedre Gentner to present a methodology for studying the rhetorical effects of analogy in a way that frees the researcher from some of the limitations associated with classical rhetoric.
Using this methodology, I examined the role of the Saturnian analogy in Japanese physicist Hantaro Nagaoka's theory of atomic structure, showing how the individual correspondences of the analogy constrained Nagaoka to different degrees on issues ranging from nuclear compatibility and radiation collapse to the nature of electricity and alpha and beta radioactivity.
My current project extends this line of inquiry into the world of nuclear physics by focusing on the ways in which the liquid drop analogy mediated physicists' early understanding of two important phenomena: nuclear mass defect and nuclear excitation.

These emissions depart the atom in a smooth energy wave manner at the orbiting electron's frequency of orbit as first proposed by the Physicist, Hantaro Nagaoka [4].
[4] In 1904, the Physicist, Hantaro Nagaoka proposed a model of the atom where electrons circled the nucleus at great distance and velocity in order to maintain a stable orbit, much the same as planets orbit the Sun.
A Nagaoka electron orbiting an energized nucleus at the not impossible rate of 500 trillion times per second would intercept preliminary outgoing energy emissions from the nucleus and impart frequency and polarization characteristics to the final outgoing emissions placing them in the spectrum of visible light.

The planetary model was so successful that over the years following Newton, it was used as a model for many other systems, most importantly for atomic systems.
In 1903 Hantaro Nagaoka of Japan had proposed a "Saturnian" model for the atom, with flat rings of electrons orbiting a central postive nucleus.
Just a few years later, experiments using alpha particles to bombard a gold metal target led the English physicist Sir Ernest Rutherford to describe his planetary model of the atom at a meeting in Manchester, England on March 11, 1911.
