 | | Pauli's principle, also known as Pauli's exclusion principle, was proposed by Wolfgang Pauli in 1925. |
 | | On the basis of the multiplet structure of the atomic spectra and the anomalous Zeeman effect, which was not able to be interpreted for a long time, Pauli realized that the peculiar, classically non-describable type of ambiguity of the quantum theoretical properties of the luminous electron demands for its description a fourth quantum number. |
 | | In 1945 Wolfgang Pauli was awarded the Nobelpreis for his discovery of the exclusion principle. |
