  • Karl Przibram: Radioactivity, Crystals, and Colors
    Phys. Perspect. 21 (2019) 163–193 Ó 2019 The Author(s) This article is an open access publication 1422-6944/19/030163-31 https://doi.org/10.1007/s00016-019-00242-z Physics in Perspective Karl Przibram: Radioactivity, Crystals, and Colors Wolfgang L. Reiter* Karl Przibram is one of the pioneers of early solid state physics in the field of the inter- dependence of coloration effects and luminescence in solids (crystals, minerals) induced by radiation. In 1921 Przibram discovered the effect of radio-photoluminescence, the light- stimulated phosphorescence in activated crystals induced by gamma rays. In 1926 Przibram was the first to use the term, Farbzentrum (color center, F-center), and in 1923 he advanced the view of atomic centers as carriers of coloration. Being a pupil of Ludwig Boltzmann and Franz S. Exner, he dedicated his early work to condensation and conductivity phenomena in gases and Brownian motion. Under the influence of Stefan Meyer, he began his lifelong interest in mineralogy, setting up his own research group at the Vienna Radium Institute, which pioneered investigations on thermoluminescence and gave a first description of glow curves. Being of Jewish descent, Przibram had to leave Austria after the Nazis took power; he found shelter in Belgium and returned to Austria in 1946 as professor for experimental physics at the University of Vienna. This paper is a first attempt to give an overview of the cultural and scientific background of Przibram’s life and science in context of the cultural and political developments from 1900 to 1950 in Austria. Key words: Biography; mineral physics; coloration effects and luminescence in solids; Ludwig Boltzmann; Franz S.

  • Gender, Politics, and Radioactivity Research in Vienna, 1910-1938
    GENDER, POLITICS, AND RADIOACTIVITY RESEARCH IN VIENNA, 1910-1938 by Maria Rentetzi Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in Science and Technology Studies Richard M. Burian, committee chair Aristides Baltas Gary L. Downey Peter L. Galison Bernice L. Hausman Joseph C. Pitt March 25, 2003 Blacksburg, Virginia Keywords: gender and science, history of radioactivity, 20th century physics, architecture of the physics laboratory, women’s lived experiences in science, Institute for Radium Research in Vienna Copyright 2003, Maria Rentetzi GENDER, POLITICS, AND RADIOACTIVITY RESEARCH IN VIENNA, 1910-1938 Maria Rentetzi ABSTRACT What could it mean to be a physicist specialized in radioactivity in the early 20th century Vienna? More specifically, what could it mean to be a woman experimenter in radioactivity during that time? This dissertation focuses on the lived experiences of the women experimenters of the Institut für Radiumforschung in Vienna between 1910 and 1938. As one of three leading European Institutes specializing in radioactivity, the Institute had a very strong staff. At a time when there were few women in physics, one third of the Institute’s researchers were women. Furthermore, they were not just technicians but were independent researchers who published at about the same rate as their male colleagues. This study accounts for the exceptional constellation of factors that contributed to the unique position of women in Vienna as active experimenters. Three main threads structure this study. One is the role of the civic culture of Vienna and the spatial arrangements specific to the Mediziner-Viertel in establishing the context of the intellectual work of the physicists.

  • Causality, Realism and the Two Strands of Boltzmann's Legacy
    Causality, Realism and the Two Strands of Boltzmann’s Legacy (1896-1936) by Michael Stöltzner Dissertation zur Erlangung des Doktorgrades im Fach Philosophie an der Universität Bielefeld Bielefeld, Mai 2003 2 Preface The ideas presented here have a relatively long history. It reaches back to the year 1995 when I had finished my master thesis in mathematical physics and became interested in the philosophy of science. In those days, the Vienna Circle had become a great opportunity for me to simultaneously learn philosophy of science and start genuine research work. Here was a philosophy that started with the criticism of the philosophy I knew reasonably well from my earlier studies, by referring to the physics I knew or could quickly understand after working through old textbooks. Quite at the beginning of my reading and writing I bought Karl von Meyenn’s nice collection about the Forman debate. I was stunned. Frank’s book on causality from which I learned quite a lot, to Forman’s mind, contained “largely blather”. There was Hans Reichenbach who despite all scientific world-view (not: weltanschauung) rapidly “confessed” to irrationalism and camouflaged existentialism as Logical Empiricism. I decided to write an essay review which listed all the misunderstandings of Logical Empiricists I had found. For various reasons the review never made it into print until I understood that this was a fortunate outcome. Criticizing Forman by spotting misunderstandings of still widely unknown figures, among them Frank and von Mises, would have been an original contribution, but not an interesting one. The debates about Forman had already been fought in the 1980s.

  • Welcome in Vienna !
    Information Booklet Welcome in Vienna ! We are happy to see you here, at the 2nd International Conference on Nanomaterials by Severe Plastic Deformation Fundamentals – Processing – Applications ¨ Location of Welcome Reception, Conference Auditory, Registration & Tourism Desks The conference starts with a Welcome Reception on Sunday, Dec. 27, 16:00, in Palais Strudlhof, a historic and prominent building from the time of Austrian Monarchy (its site is marked by number 2 in the map at the end of this booklet). Participants are asked to register and submit their manuscripts already there, in order to avoid a big rush in the morning of Monday when time and space will be quite limited. Moreover, participants are warmly recommended to attend this reception, with the high intention to allow for first and nice contacts among them. Sandwiches and good drinks will be offered for free to bring us closer to this goal. The conference will be held at the famous Boltzmann Center of the University Vienna where formerly Lise Meitner, Erwin Schrödinger and Erich Schmid gave their lectures. This center hosting also the Materials Physics Institute are situated at Boltzmanngasse 5, A-1090, Vienna; its location has been marked in the booklet’s map by number (1). The oral presentations will take place in the large auditory of the Materials Physics Institute in third floor. The desks for registration/information, and for tourism (travel agency “Der Schwentenwein”) will be arranged right of the entrance of auditory. The registration desk will be continuously open on Monday from 7:30 to 18:30, on Tuesday and Thursday from 8:00 to 18:00, and on Wednesday and Friday from 8:00 to 14:30.

  • Chapter 3 Gender, Science, and the City
    Trafficking Materials and Maria Rentetzi Gendered Experimental Practices Chapter 3 Gender, Science, and the City In 1886, when the physicist Ernest Mach asked, "How is humanity to progress 1 safely if not even half of it is walking on an enlightened path?" women had not been accepted yet to the University of Vienna. As he argued in his popular scientific lectures, "The level of education and choice of profession for women should in no way be restricted."1 In the mid-1890s, and while the acceptance of women at the University of Vienna was still under discussion, Mach, with his colleagues and the directors of the first and second Physics Institutes, Victor von Lang and Franz Exner, founded a committee for the support of women's admission to university studies.2 Surprisingly, leading figures in Vienna's physics community, such as Exner, Mach, and Lang, all members of the intelligentsia and bourgeoisie, contributed immensely to creating a friendly environment for the young women of their social strata to create a space for themselves within the field of physics. Cradled in fin de siècle Vienna, such physicists as the young Stefan Meyer 2 inherited their cultural meanings about sexual difference and a collegial ethos of working in physics from Vienna's cultural and scientific milieu. At the turn of the century, Vienna was an extraordinary cultural setting where psychoanalysts, architects, artists, writers, musicians, politicians, philosophers, and scientists transformed their fields of knowledge, established new ones, and defined new ways of being. The city's intelligentsia produced distinct schools of thought in architecture, music, painting, philosophy, and psychology.
