  Otto Stern Summary
Otto Stern was born on Feb. 17, 1888, in Sorau, Upper Silesia.
Otto Stern received the 1943 Nobel Prize in physics for his development of molecular beam methods and the use of these methods to determine a number of important physical constants, especially the magnetic moment of atoms and nuclei.
Stern was an outstanding experimental physicist; his contributions included development of the Molecular Ray Method, discovery of spin quantization (with Walther Gerlach, 1922; see Stern-Gerlach experiment), measurement of atomic magnetic moments, demonstration of the wave nature of atoms and molecules, and discovery of the proton's magnetic moment.

 Stern, Otto   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Stern was born in Sohrau, Upper Silesia (now Zory in Poland), and studied at a number of German universities.
Stern went on to improve this molecular-beam technique and in 1931 was able to detect the wave nature of particles in the beams.
In 1933, Stern measured the magnetic moment of the proton and the deuteron, and demonstrated that the proton's magnetic moment was 2.5 times greater than expected.

 The Hindu : Otto Stern(1888-1969): Pioneer of molecular beam research
OTTO STERN was born on February 17, 1888 in Upper Silesia, Germany, in a prosperous Jewish family of merchants.
Thus Stern attended lectures on theoretical physics by the legendary Arnold Sommerfeld and on experimental physics (flbody radiation) by Otto Lummer and Ernst Prinysheim.
Stern was stationed in a small village during 1916 as a military weather observer where the duties of a routine nature left him plenty of free time which he did not waste: he took up the tedious problem of calculating the energy of a system of coupled mass points, performing the computations in longhand.

 Space quantization: Otto Stern's lucky star Daedalus - Find Articles   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Yet this germinal experiment, carried out at Frankfurt in 1921-22 by Otto Stern and Walther Gerlach, is not at all familiar except to physical scientists.2 Even among them we have found very few aware of historical particulars that enhance the drama of the story and the abiding lessons it offers about how science works.
Otto Stern (1888-1969) received his Ph.D. in 1912 at Breslau in physical chemistry.3 His doctoral dissertation presented theory and experiments on concentrated solutions of carbon dioxide in various solvents, just generalized soda water.
They had not met, but Stern knew Einstein was "a great man, at the center of modern developments." Contact was quickly made via what would now be called "the old-boy network" and Einstein (then thirty-three) indicated he was willing to accept Stern (then twentyfour).

 Physics Today December 2003 - Stern and Gerlach: How a Bad Cigar Helped Reorient Atomic Physics
Otto Stern received his doctorate in physical chemistry at the University of Breslau in 1912.
Stern was captivated by the "simplicity and directness" of the method, which "enables us to make measurements on isolated neutral atoms or molecules with macroscopic tools.
His crowning achievement, in collaboration with Immanuel Estermann and Otto Frisch, was the discovery of the anomalous magnetic moments of the proton and deuteron in 1933.

 The Stern Gerlach Experiment
In 1920 (a few years before the concept of the spin was coined into physics) Otto Stern and Walter Gerlach conducted an experiment, in which they noticed this property of the electron.
Stern, Frish, and Easterman measured those tiny magnetic dipoles in the later experiments.Not only the electrons have the spin in the atom but also the nucleons.

Otto Robert Frisch was born October 1, 1904, in Vienna.
The son of a painter and a concert pianist, he had inherited his aunt Lise Meitner's love of physics, graduating from the University of Vienna in 1926 with some work on the effect of the newly discovered electron on salts.
In December 1939, Lise Meitner, who was living in exile in Stockholm, informed the visiting Frisch that Otto Hahn and Fritz Strassmann had found the phenomenon that strongly suggested the nuclear fission of uranium by bombardment (slow) neutrons.

He himself was talented at both but also had inherited his aunt Lise Meitner's love of physics and commenced a period of study at the University of Vienna, graduating in 1926 with some work on the effect of the newly discovered electron on salts.
Here he produced novel work on the diffraction of atoms (using crystal surfaces) and also proved that the magnetic moment of the proton was much larger than had been previously supposed.

 Louise Otto-Peters   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Under a pseudonym of Otto Stern as well as her own name, she discussed the role of women in politics, the need to organize women workers, and the value of political poetry.
Although the German women's movement was not formally organized until 1865, this early paper, with contributors from throughout Germany, allowed group of progressive women to reach the general public with their own gender-based demand for reform.
Like other progressive German women who began their careers in the 1840s as writers and publicists, the liberalization of 1848 allowed Louise Otto a limited public prominence was limited; women were not permitted to be members of revolutionary clubs and organizations, and they remained observers at most political functions.

In 1846, Otto moved to Leipzig where she remained for most of her life, earning her living as a writer, editor, publicist, and woman's rights activist.
Otto met the revolutionary August Peters in 1849 and married him in 1858 after his release from prison.
Otto, though, is such an outstanding figure in the history of German feminism that no story of the woman's movement in Germany would be complete without a reference to her.

 CIRL - Pioneers in Electricity and Magnetism: Felix Bloch
Physicist Otto Stern experimentally demonstrated in 1933 that the neutron, despite its lack of charge, has a magnetic moment.
Bloch decided he would attempt to determine how it was possible, since the magnetic moment of the electron had been explained as originating from its charge.
In 1936, Bloch proposed such proof could be found from observations of neutron scattering in samples of iron, and the following year researchers successfully employed the method he suggested to obtain the evidence Bloch sought.
