FROM THE FATHER OF THE TRANSISTOR

BARDEEN, J.

Diffusion in Binary Alloys.

Lancaster, American Institute of Physics, 1949. Lex8vo. Volume 76, November 1, No. 9, 1949 of "The Physical Review", Second Series. In the original printed blue wrappers. Minor browning to extremities very slight wear to spine. Previous owner's stamp to front wrapper (C. Møller). A fine and clean copy. Pp. 1403-1405. [Entire issue: Pp. 1275-1422].

First publication of Bardeen's paper on diffusion in binary alloys.
Bardeen is known as the inventor of the transistor, for which he, together with Shockley, was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1956. Bardeen is the only person to have been awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics twice, first in 1956 and again in 1972 for his part in the development of the theory of superconductivity (BCS-theory) and thus also became the only person, until this day, to receive the Nobel Prize more than once in the same field.
