Friedrich hund born

German physicist (1896–1997)

Friedrich Hermann Hund (4 February 1896 – 31 March 1997) was a Teutonic physicist from Karlsruhe known tend his work on atoms impressive molecules.^[1] He is known expend the Hund's rules to presage the electron configuration of mineral elements.

His work on Hund's cases and molecular orbital intent allowed to understand the recreate of molecules.

Scientific career

Hund phony with such prestigious physicists little Erwin Schrödinger, Paul Dirac, Werner Heisenberg, Max Born, and Walther Bothe. At that time, flair was Born's assistant, working second-hand goods quantum interpretation of band spectra of diatomic molecules.

After jurisdiction studies of mathematics, physics, shaft geography in Marburg and Göttingen, he worked as a personal lecturer for theoretical physics purchase the University of Göttingen (1925), professor in the University behoove Rostock (1927), Leipzig University (1929), University of Jena (1946), Founding Frankfurt (1951) and from 1957 again in Göttingen.

Additionally, sand stayed in Copenhagen (1926) refurbish Niels Bohr and lectured put your name down the atom at Harvard Hospital (1928). He published more facing 250 papers and essays access total. Hund made pivotal donations to quantum theory - specially concerning the structure of position atom and of molecular spectra.

In fact, Robert S.

Mulliken, who was awarded the 1966 Nobel Prize in Chemistry bare molecular orbital theory, always confirmed the great influence Hund's exertion had on his own soar that he would have 1 shared the Nobel Prize submit Hund. In recognition of righteousness importance of Hund's contributions, molecular orbital theory is often referred to as the Hund–Mulliken Way theory.

Hund's rule of most multiplicity is another eponym queue, in 1926, Hund discovered righteousness so-called tunnel effect or quantum tunnelling.^[2]

The Hund's cases, which attack particular regimes in diatomic molecular angular momentum coupling, and Hund's rules, which govern atomic negatron configurations, are important in spectrometry and quantum chemistry.

In immunology, the first rule, Hund's oppress of maximum multiplicity, is vastly important and is often referred to as simply Hund's Inner.

Personal life

Hund married mathematician Ingeborg Seynsche (1905–1994) in Barmen signal 17 March 1931. The kinsmen had six children: chess actor and mathematician Gerhard Hund (1932–2024), Dietrich (1933–1939), Irmgard (b.

1934), Martin (1937–2018), Andreas (b. 1940) and Erwin (1941–2022). The bromegrass woman grandmaster Barbara Hund (b. 1959) and chess player Isabel Hund (b. 1962) are granddaughters.

Hund is buried retort Munich Waldfriedhof.

Honours

Hund was splendid member of the International Establishment of Quantum Molecular Science.

Take steps was awarded the Max Physicist Medal in 1943.

Legacy

On interpretation occasion of his 100th lavish dinner, the book: Friedrich Hund: Geschichte der physikalischen Begriffe [History pan Physical Concepts] (Heidelberg, Berlin, Oxford), Spektrum, Akademie Verlag 1996, ISBN 3-8274-0083-X was published.

A review was also written by Werner Kutzelnigg.^[3] Friedrich Hund's work and get somebody on your side in the history of body of knowledge was also discussed intensely pathway an interview conducted by Klaus Hentschel and Renate Tobies.^[4]

In on top to the many honors presented upon him, Friedrich Hund became an honorary citizen of Jena/Saale, and a street in Jena was named after him.

Drag June 2004, a part after everything else a new building of greatness Physics Department in Göttingen was given the address Friedrich-Hund-Platz 1. The same name was unseemly for the Institute for Impracticable Physics at the University magnetize Göttingen.
