Robert Mulliken + Friedrich Dog Chicago 1929
Friedrich Hermann Hund (Karlsruhe, February 4, 1896 - Göttingen, March 31, 1997) was a German physicist, who became especially familiar with his work on the electronic structure of atoms and molecules. He is the best known of his rule of Hund, which deals with the electron configuration in an orbital. His work was groundbreaking for spectroscopic measurement techniques. biography After his studies of mathematics, physics and geography in Marburg and Göttingen, he worked as a lecturer in theoretical physics in Göttingen, he was professor in Rostock (1927), Leipzig (1929), Jena (1946), Frankfurt am Main (1951) and from 1957 again in Göttingen. In addition, he lived in Copenhagen with Niels Bohr and studied atomic physics at Harvard University (1928). During his long university career, he worked closely with well-known physicists like Erwin Schrödinger, Paul Dirac, Werner Heisenberg, Max Born and Walther Bothe.
Hund published more than 500 articles and essys. Its amounts, and especially the atomic and molecular spectra structure, were important in the emerging theory of quantum physics. During the period he was Bohr's assistant, he studied the quantum interpretation of bandspectra of diatomic molecules (two-atom molecules). In 1943 he was awarded the Max Planck medal.
In particular, Robert Mulliken, who was awarded the Nobel Prize for Chemistry for his molecular orbital theory in 1966, always stated the great influence of Dog's work on his own work and that he would like to share the Nobel Prize with Hund. In order to acknowledge the importance of Hunds, the molecular orbital theory is also referred to as the Hund-Mullikte theory. Dog rule of maximum multiplicity is another eponymous, and in 1926, Hund discovered the so-called tunnel effect or quantum tunnel.
