Education * Studied physics, mathematics, physical chemistry, and philosophy. * He went to 12 different colleges * Albert-Ludwigs Universitat Freiburg, the University of Hamburg * 1926 to 1931
Honors * Honorary Professer at the University of Hamburg * Noble Prize in physics * Honorary Doctorate of the University of Hanover * Honorary citizen of Fort Lauderdale, Florida
Work * Unpaid lecturer at the University of Hamburg * Extraordinarious professor of theoretical physics * Ordinarius professor * Guest professor at varied colleges
Work…continued * Proposed shell nucleur model * Worked with Uranium Club * Uranium club worked to separate uranium isotopes * Double centrifuge based on a rocking process
Books * Elementary Theory of Nuclear Shell Structure * Nobel Lectures * Paul Harteck * Konrad Beyerle
Shell Atomic Model * Arrangement of electrons in an atom * Developed in 1949 * Filled shell-greater stability
Shell Atomic Model * Electrons are occupying diffuse shells * Closest atom closest to the nucleus * Others extend outward from that one
Contribution * Proposed the shell theory of nuclear structure * Structure of nucleons, protons and neutrons * Shared Nobel Prize in physics
Contribution * Suggested nucleons spun on their axis in orbit * Number of nucleons/shell made nucleus more stable * Certain patterns in the nucleons around the nucleus
