Fritz London was one of the twentieth century's key figures in the
development of quantum physics. A quiet and self-effacing man, he
was one of the founders of quantum chemistry, and was the first to
give a phenomenological explanation of superconductivity. This
thoroughly researched biography gives a detailed account of
London's life and work in Munich, Berlin, Oxford, Paris, and
finally in the United States. Also, by following his
correspondence, collaborations, and controversies with other
leading physicists and chemists including Erwin Schrodinger, Walter
Heitler, Linus Pauling, Robert Mulliken, John van Vleck, Max von
Laue, and Lev Landau, it examines the process by which scientific
theories become legitimized. Covering a fascinating period in the
development of theoretical physics, and containing an appraisal of
London's work by the late John Bardeen, this book will be of great
interest to physicists, chemists, and to anyone interested in the
history of science.
