Maria Goeppert-Mayer "For a long time I have considered even the craziest ideas about atom nucleus... and suddenly I discovered the truth." Maria Goeppert-Mayer was born on June 28, 1906 in Katowice, Poland. In 1910 she moved with her parents to Gottingen, Germany. She enrolled at the University at Gottingen in the spring of 1924 with the expectation of pursuing a career in mathematics. In 1930 Maria Goeppert married U.S. chemical physicist Joseph E. Mayer. "Mathematics began to seem too much like puzzle solving. Physics is puzzle solving, too, but of puzzles created by nature, not by the mind of man." Source: Maria Goeppert-Mayer, A Life of One's Own by J. Dash But soon she became attracted to physics and the developing field of quantum mechanics. In 1930 she took her doctorate in theoretical physics under the direction of Nobel Prize Winners Max Born, James Franck, and Adolf Windaus. Together with her husband, Joseph Edward Mayer, they moved to Baltimore and worked at Johns Hopkins University, Maryland. In 1939 they went to Columbia University. There she worked under the direction of Harold Urey at the Strategic Alloy Metals Laboratory which researched the separation of isotopes of uranium for the atomic bomb project. She co-authored a text entitled Statistical Mechanics (1940) with her husband. After the war, 1945, she took a professorship of physics at the Institute for Nuclear Studies, University of Chicago, under the influence of Enrico Fermi. In 1948, Maria Goeppert-Mayer began work on nuclear shell structure and the meaning of the

Maria Goeppert-Mayer + 21 February 1972 in San Diego, USA Maria Goeppert-Mayer One of her former students at Johns Hopkins, Robert Sachs, brought her to Argonne University at "a nice consulting salary." Sachs would later become Argonne's director. While there, she learned most of her nuclear theory and set up a system of "magic" numbers to represent the numbers of protons and neutrons, arranged in shells, in the atom's nucleus. While collecting data to support nuclear shells, she was at first unable to marshal a theoretical explanation. During a discussion of the problem with Fermi, he casually asked: "Incidentally, is there any evidence of spin-orbit coupling?" Goeppert Mayer was stunned. She recalled: "When he said it, it all fell into place. In 10 minutes I knew... I finished my computations that night. Fermi taught it to his class the next week." Goeppert Mayer's 1948 theory explained why some nuclei were more stable than others and why some elements were rich in isotopes. The following year, J. Hans Daniel Jensen independently advanced the same theory. They collaborated on Elementary Theory of Nuclear Shell Structure

Maria Goeppert-Mayer By Kaycie Maria Goeppert-Mayer was born in Kattowitze, Germany on July, 28, 1906. Maria came from a very educated family. Her father was a professor and Maria was the seventh generation of scholars in her family. At the age of four, her family moved to Goettingen, Germany. At the time, Goettingen was the most active place for development in Modern Quantum Mechanics and their connection with the atom. Maria originally studied math, but decided to change her major to physics after attending a seminar lead by Max Born, who would later become her teacher. Born had many other famous scientists who studied under him including: Fermi, Dirac, and Oppenheimer. In 1930, Maria “calculated the probability that an electron orbiting an atom's nucleus would emit two photons of light as it jumped to an orbit closer to the nucleus.” Her calculation was later confirmed in the 1960s.

Maria Goeppert Mayer was born on June 28, 1906, in Kattowitz, Upper Silesia, then Germany, the only child of Friedrich Goeppert and his wife Maria, nee Wolff. On her father's side, she is the seventh straight generation of university professors. Max Born , for his kind guidance of her scientific education. She took her doctorate in 1930 in theoretical physics. There were three Nobel Prize winners on the doctoral committee, Born, Franck and Windaus Shortly before she had met Joseph Edward Mayer, an American Rockefeller fellow working with James Franck. In 1930 she went with him to the Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore. This was the time ofthe depression, and no university would think of employing the wife of a professor. But she kept working, just for the fun of doing physics. Karl F. Herzfeld took an interest in her work, and under his influence and that of her husband, she slowly developed into a chemical physicist. She wrote various papers with Herzfeld and with her husband, and she started to work on the color of organic molecules. In 1939 they went to Columbia . Dr. Goeppert Mayer taught one year at Sarah Lawrence College , but she worked mainly at the S. A. M. Laboratory, on the separation of isotopes of uranium, with

Welcome to CWP at physics.UCLA.edu Nuclear Physics Reader Comments Other Citations Homepage Maria Goeppert Mayer Contributions Publications Honors Additional Information ... Some Important Contributions: NUCLEAR SHELL MODEL: Discovery of the magic numbers and their explanation in terms of a nuclear shell model with strong spin-orbit coupling. For this she won the 1963 Nobel Prize in Physics, with J.H.D. Jensen who had independently proposed the strong spin-orbit coupling. She was the first person to investigate the theoretical basis of nuclear pairing, which plays an important role in the shell model of the atomic nucleus. OTHER IMPORTANT CONTRIBUTIONS: Maria Goeppert Mayer was an accomplished physicist from the beginning of her career until the end and she made numerous contributions to the field of physics. She was the first person to investigate the phenomenon of double quantum emission and, a few years later, double beta decay. Mayer and Herzefeld were the first to study the effect of magnetic susceptibility on the refractive index of a gas. Mayer and Sachs pioneered the application of the new idea of a Yukawa potential between neutron and proton to the nuclear two-body system. Mayer was the first person to work out the atomic properties of transuranic elements as well. Mayer's last contribution, with Lawson, was the use of the center of mass and relative coordinates for the calculation of shell model interaction energies.

Contents Next Born: Kattowitze, Germany, July 28, 1906 Died: La Jolla, California, February 20, 1972 Nobelist in Physics M aria Goeppert-Mayer developed the nuclear shell model of atomic nuclei, an achievement honored when she became the third woman ever awarded the Nobel Prize for physics, in 1963. She shared the prize with J. Hans D. Jensen, who had independently developed a similar model, and with theoretician Eugene Wigner. Although she lived a life of scholarly privilege, with the support of her family and many notable scientists, she was not able to secure full-time work in her field until she was 53. Mayer performed most of her scientific work as a volunteer. Maria married physical chemist Joseph E. Mayer in 1930 and together they moved to Baltimore, where Joe was a professor at Johns Hopkins. Maria adopted a hyphenated form of their names and anglicized the spelling. She had an attic office and a mixed assortment of honorary job titles, but no pay. She nevertheless produced ten papers, a textbook, and her daughter Maria Ann during her time in Baltimore. She was pregnant with her son John in 1938, when Joe unexpectedly lost his job. They left Hopkins for Columbia University. There, they wrote a classic textbook, Statistical Mechanics. Again, Goeppert-Mayer had office space, but no pay. During the Second World War, she worked on uranium isotope separation, under Harold Urey and others who helped develop the atom bomb. After the war, the Columbia physicists moved to Chicago, and the Mayers followed.
