During the period 1919–1922, key discoveries were made at this Institute, headed by Max Born, that contributed decisively to the development of quantum mechanics
In the first quantitative molecular beam experiment, carried out in 1919, Otto Stern made use of the deflection imparted to a beam of silver atoms by the Coriolis force to determine the mean velocity pertaining to the atoms’ Maxwell-Boltzmann velocity distribution
Summary
An International Symposium (Wilhelm and Else Heraeus Seminar # 702) Marked the Centennial of Otto Stern’s First Molecular Beam Experiment and the Thriving of Atomic Physics; A European Physical Society Historic Site Was Inaugurated. An international symposium entitled “Otto Stern’s Molecular Beam Research and its Impact on Science” was held on [1–5] September 2019 on the historic premises of the former Institute for Theoretical Physics of the University of Frankfurt.
