Today (March 4, 1904) is the birthday of George Gamow, the first person to discover alpha debris from a hole drilling event.
George Gamow was born on March 4,
1904, in Odessa, Russia. She was an instructor of Russian language and
literature at her father's school and a geographer and history teacher for her
mother's daughters. She learned Russian from her mother in French and German
from her tutor at an early age. He has published most of his early publications
in French and in secret. Later he started following English to write technical
texts and folk science texts. Educated at the Institute of Physics and
Mathematics in Odessa and at the University of Leningrad. Gamow studied briefly
in Leningrad under Alexander Friedman until his early death in 1925.
He wanted to do his doctoral
research under Friedman. But the research consultants had to change. At
university, Gamow befriended three other students of theoretical physics, Lev
Landau, Dmitry Ivanenko, and Matvi Bronstein. The four formed a group of three
called the Musketeers. Gathered to discuss and analyze groundbreaking
documents on quantum mechanics published in those years. He later used the same
phrase to describe the Alber, Herman and Camo, group. After graduation, he
worked in quantum theory at Nottingham. There his research on nuclear provided
the basis for his doctorate. He then worked at the Institute of Theoretical
Physics at the University of Copenhagen from 1928 to 1931.
He worked with Ernest Rutherford
at the Cavendish Laboratory in Cambridge. He continued to study the atomic
"liquid drop" model, but also worked with Robert Atkinson and Fritz
Houtermans on astrophysics. Designed under the guidance and direct participation
of Mysovsky and Camo, in 1932, Gamow and Mysovsky submitted a draft design to
be considered by the Radium Institute's Education Council, which did not
complete the cyclotron until 1937.
In the early 20th century,
radioactive materials were known to have characteristic high-velocity decay
rates or half-lives. At the same time, radiation emissions are known to have
some characteristic energies. By 1928, Gamow in Gottingen had solved the alpha decay theory of an embryo through
the tunnel with the mathematical help of Nikolai Cochin. The issue was resolved
independently by Ronald W. Carney and Edward U. Canton. However, Gurney and
Canton did not achieve the same level of results as Camo. Classically, the
particle is confined to the nucleus. Because more energy is needed to escape
from very strong nuclear energy. More classically, it requires a lot of energy
to avoid the fetus. This does not happen spontaneously. However, in quantum
mechanics, the particle has the potential to escape by "tunnelling" the
wall of the potential well.
Gamow solved a model potential
for the fetus. From the first principles, he derived the relationship between
the half-life of the alpha-decay process and the energy of the emission. This
was previously discovered empirically and became known as the Geiger – Nuttall
law. A few years later, the name camo factor or camo-Sommerfeld factor was
applied to the probability of incoming atomic particles being subjected to
tunnelling and nuclear reactions via an electric coulomb barrier. He developed and
developed the theory of the Big Bang. Who was the first to discover and explain
alpha decay by the cavernous drilling phenomenon? Involved in the radioactive decay
of the nucleus, galaxy evolution, galaxy nucleation reaction, Big Bang nuclear
synthesis reaction, molecular genetics. He defined the aggregation event as a
nuclear cosmological phenomenon.
He has been interested in
education in the middle and late stages of his life. He has authored many
popular science fiction books. One of these two or three ... Eerily, Mr
Thompkin's ... thread series are the most famous. Half a century after its
first publication, his books continue to be published and sold. These are
highly effective in introducing and explaining the basics of science and
mathematics. George Gamow, the discoverer of alpha decay, passed away on August
19, 1968, at the age of 64, in Colorado, USA.
