Albert Einstein as the Father of Solid State Physics
نویسنده
چکیده
Einstein is usually revered as the father of special and general relativity. In this article, I shall demonstrate that he is also the father of Solid State Physics, or even his broader version which has become known as Condensed Matter Physics (including liquids). His 1907 article on the specific heat of solids introduces, for the first time, the effect of lattice vibrations on the thermodynamic properties of crystals, in particular the specific heat. His 1905 article on the photoelectric effect and photoluminescence opened the fields of photoelectron spectroscopy and luminescence spectroscopy. Other important achievements include Bose-Einstein condensation and the Einstein relation between diffusion coefficient and mobility. In this article I shall discuss Einstein’s papers relevant to this topic and their impact on modern day condensed matter physics.

متن کاملStochastic Optimization of Bose-Einstein Condensation Using a Genetic Algorithm
In 1924/25, Satyendranath Bose and Albert Einstein predicted that particles of integer spin (today called bosons) should undergo a quantum statistical phase transition when cooled to temperatures very close to absolute zero (Bose, 1924; Einstein, 1925). This phenomenon, nowadays called Bose-Einstein condensation, has been experimentally observed seventy years later using ultracold (nanokelvin t...
