Zur Theorie der galvanomagnetischen Effekte

Rudolf Peierls

ZusammenfassungEs wird gezeigt, daß man aus den Blochschen Rechnungen qualitativ richtige Aussagen über die galvanomagnetischen Effekte erhält, insbesondere beide Vorzeichen des Halleffekts, die die Sommerfeldsche Theorie noch nicht lieferte, und die Größenordnung der Widerstandsänderung.

The momentum of a light wave in a refracting medium

M. G. Burt; Rudolf Peierls

Elementary considerations support the result of Abraham, by which the momentum is, for given energy, inversely proportional to the refractive index, rather than proportional to it, as predicted by Minkowski. This conclusion disagrees, however, with the experiment of Jones & Richards.

Perturbation theory for projected states

Rudolf Peierls

For quantum systems with a symmetry it is often convenient to start from a simple soluble model lacking the symmetry, and restore the symmetry by projection. If this is done for all eigenstates of the model system, one obtains an overcomplete set of basis functions, which is not suitable for standard perturbation theory. The paper develops a method by which one can do perturbation theory in this situation. The method is illustrated by application to the problem of the centre-of-mass motion of a nucleus, the symmetry being the translational and Galileo invariance.

Some simple remarks on the basis of transport theory

Rudolf Peierls

Our discussion has been confined to a very simple class of transport problems. Apart from the exclusion of dense or strongly coupled systems, we have excluded the possibility of long-range interactions, as in plasmas and other dense systems, all cases of spatial inhomogeneity. Nevertheless the limited range of problems gave us an opportunity of examining some general basic principles, which are applicable much more generally than the particular problems considered.

Elektronentheorie der Metalle

Rudolf Peierls

Im folgenden soll versucht werden, die bisherigen Resultate der Elektronentheorie der Metalle von einem, einheitlichen Gesichtspunkt aus darzustellen. Hierbei soll weniger Wert auf Vollstandigkeit und historische Korrektheit gelegt werden, als vielmehr darauf, die Berechtigung und Tragweite der verschiedenen Naherungshypothesen, sowie den Geltungsbereich der Resultate moglichst klar herauszustellen. Auf eine kritische Diskussion einzelner Arbeiten wird daher fast ganzlich verzichtet werden. Ebenso macht das am Schlus gegebene Literaturverzeichnis keinen Anspruch auf Vollstandigkeit.

Surprises in Theoretical Physics

Rudolf Peierls; Victor F. Weisskopf

ZusammenfassungIn der erwähnten Arbeit versucht Wilson, einige in den Arbeiten des Verfassers 2) bewiesene Behauptungen zu widerlegen. Hierbei geht er jedoch von einein Mißverständnis aus, auf das hier, da es dem Leser entgehen könnte, kurz hingewiesen werden soll.
