Scope and content
A collection of reprints of articles by Bohr and his students, primarily on physics, with a few on chemistry. Authors include Bohr, R.H. Fowler, Werner Heisenberg (one article), Georg von Hevesy, J. Holtsmark, Erich Hückel, J.C. Jacobsen, H.A. Kramers, Werner Kuhn, and others. Topics include radioactive decay, quantum mechanics, optics, nuclear physics, spectroscopy, and others.
