Born in 1920 in Dordrecht, Bloembergen studied physics in Utrecht, leaving after World War II for the United States, where he became an American citizen in 1958. At Harvard University, he pioneered nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR, used in chemistry and biology for structure identification; moreover leading to MRI), laser theory and nonlinear optics. In 1978 he was awarded the Lorentz Medal for his contribution to the theory of nonlinear optics (used in fiber optics), and in 1981 he received the Nobel Prize for physics, along with Arthur Schawlow and Kai Siegbahn.. .The book is based on numerous conversations with Nicolaas Bloembergen himself, his wife Deli Brink, his family, and colleagues in science. It describes his childhood and study in Bilthoven and Utrecht, the first postwar years at Harvard, the discoveries of masers and lasers, and the award of the Nobel Prize.It also delves into Bloembergen‘s involvement in American politics, particularly his role in Ronald Reagan‘s controversial "Star Wars" program.. | 出版日期 | Book 2019 | 关键词 | Nico Bloembergen Biography; Nobel Prize Winner Physics 1981; Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy; M | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-25737-8 | isbn_softcover | 978-3-030-25739-2 | isbn_ebook | 978-3-030-25737-8Series ISSN 2365-0613 Series E-ISSN 2365-0621 | issn_series | 2365-0613 | copyright | Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2019 |
