Schrodinger's Wave Mechanics: Remarkable Dates and Place One Hundred Years Ago
Sergei K. Suslov
The paper provides an accessible overview of Schrödinger's introduction of wave mechanics and the shift from classical to quantum descriptions, aimed at students and teachers.
My Warm, Randomly Recorded, Recollections of Professor Richard Askey
Sergei K. Suslov
These are my memories of moments with Dick and Liz Askey in Russia, Wisconsin, Arizona, and abroad. Dedicated to the Askey family, these recollections span over 40 years and encomp…
Classification of Transuranium Elements in Terms of `Winding' Numbers in the Bohr-Sommerfeld Model
Sergei K. Suslov
We revisit the Bohr-Sommerfeld atomic model to explore hydrogen-like ions of Uranium (), Oganesson (), and hypothetical superheavy elements beyond. Although superseded…
Oganesson versus Uranium Hydrogen-like Ions and Beyond (from the Viewpoint of Old Quantum Mechanics)
Kamal Barley, Andreas Ruffing, Sergei K. Suslov
We compare, within the framework of the old Bohr-Sommerfeld atomic model, Uranium (Z=92) versus hypothetical Oganesson (Z=118) relativistic hydrogen-like ions and beyond. Existence…
Old Quantum Mechanics by Bohr and Sommerfeld from a Modern Perspective
Kamal K. Barley, Andreas Ruffing, Sergei K. Suslov
We review Bohr's atomic model and its extension by Sommerfeld from a mathematical perspective of wave mechanics. The derivation of quantization rules and energy levels is revisited…
On a Seldom Oversight in Fermi's Calculations: Seventy Years Later
Sergei K. Suslov
We discuss an unfortunate mistake, for a Dirac free particle, in the last Fermi lecture notes on quantum mechanics, in a course given at the University of Chicago in winter and spr…
