Britannica CD Index Articles Dictionary Help Stern, Otto (b . Feb. 17, 1888, Sohrau, Ger. [now Zory, Pol.]d. Aug. 17, 1969, Berkeley, Calif., U.S.), German-born scientist and winner of the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1943 for his development of the molecular beam as a tool for studying the characteristics of molecules and for his measurement of the magnetic moment of the proton. Stern's early scientific work was theoretical studies of statistical thermodynamics. In 1914 he became a lecturer in theoretical physics at the University of Frankfurt and in 1923 a professor of physical chemistry at the University of Hamburg. Stern and Walther Gerlach had performed their historic molecular-beam experiment at Hamburg in 1920-21. By shooting a beam of silver atoms through a nonuniform magnetic field onto a glass plate, they found that the beam split into two distinct beams instead of broadening into a continuous band. This experiment verified the space quantization theory, which stated that atoms can align themselves in a magnetic field only in a few directions (two for silver), instead of in any direction, as classical physics had suggested. ( See also Stern-Gerlach experiment .) In 1933 Stern measured the magnetic moment (strength of a subatomic particle's magnetic property) of the proton by using a molecular beam and found that it was actually about 2 1/2 times the theoretical value. In 1933, when the Nazis rose to power, Stern was compelled to leave Germany. He went to the United States, where he became research professor of physics at the Carnegie Institute of Technology, Pittsburgh. He remained there until his retirement in 1945.

var isReferenceAnswers = true; BodyLoad('s'); On this page Library Animal Life Health History, Politics, Society ... Technology Otto Stern Scientist: Otto Stern Home Library Science Dictionary of Scientists German–American physicist (1888–1969) Stern, who was born at Sohrau (now in Poland), was educated at the University of Breslau where he obtained his doctorate in 1912. He joined Einstein at the University of Prague and later followed him to Zurich (1913). After teaching at a number of German universities he was appointed an associate professor of theoretical physics at Rostock in 1921. He later moved (1923) to the University of Hamburg as professor of physical chemistry, but resigned in opposition to Hitler in 1933 and emigrated to America, where he took up an appointment with the Carnegie Institute of Technology at Pittsburgh. He retired in 1945. Stern's main research came from his work with molecular beams of atoms and molecules (beams of atoms traveling in the same direction at low pressure, with no collisions occurring within the beam). Using such beams it is possible to measure directly the speeds of molecules in a gas. In 1920 Stern used a molecular beam of silver atoms to test an important prediction of quantum theory – namely, that certain atoms have magnetic moments ( behave like small magnets) and that in a magnetic field these magnets take only certain orientations to the field direction.

Stern's work in applying molecular beams to examine the free atoms in gases, and to determine their behavior, proved beyond doubt several important theories. He developed methods for dramatically demonstrating the wave nature of molecules and atoms and was the first to measure the magnetic moment of protons. Stern was awarded an honorary doctorate by the University of California, Berkeley, and was a member of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences, and the American Philosophical Society. He was also a member of the Royal Danish Academy of Sciences. Related Topics Clifford Glenwood Shull Pierre-Gilles de Gennes Broglie, Louis Victor de
