Irving Langmuir Scholars Program Irving Langmuir (1881-1957) was one of the most proficient and thoughtful research scientists of the 20th century. Dr. Langmuir, a Nobel laureate and avid outdoorsman, made a hobby of understanding the mechanism of natural phenomena (1). Receiving an undergraduate degree from Columbia University School of Mines in 1903, Dr. Langmuir's days at Columbia initiated a career devoted to research for the benefit of society. The Langmuir Scholars Program strives to foster a generation of undergraduate Columbia scientists that can think about environmental problems with a similar style as Dr. Langmuir. Achievements The bulk of Irving Langmuir's research was conducted while working as an industrial research scientist for General Electric. His work, which included 63 patents while at GE (2), spanned a wide array of disciplines. In chemistry, his models and techniques of surface interactions won him a Nobel Prize and still have modern applications. Additionally, his improvements on Tungsten light bulbs have saved billions of watts of electricity. Dr. Langmuir also contributed to the earth sciences producing some of the first data on cloud nucleation and ocean convective currents. In fact, his experiments involving the Langmuir circulation currents was performed while he was on vacation at Lake George, New York. Other achievements by Dr. Langmuir include work on ionized gases, vacuum tubes, and the quantum theory.

Lamp Inventors 1880-1940: Gas-filled, Coiled Tungsten Lamps Irving Langmuir from GE Review , December 1932. "The causes which have made it necessary to operate tungsten lamps at such relatively low efficiencies as one watt per candle have been little understood. It seemed, therefore, that an investigation of the phenomena occurring in tungsten lamps, carried out with a view of reaching a clear understanding of the causes of the failure of the lamps, might possibly open the way to the discovery of methods by which the efficiency could be greatly improved." Irving Langmuir, in a presentation to the American Institute of Electrical Engineers, October 1913. Irving Langmuir received a Ph.D. in physical chemistry in 1906 from the University of Göttingen. He studied under Walther Nernst who had invented a new type of incandescent lamp only a few years before. After graduating, Langmuir took a teaching position at the Stevens Institute of Technology but left in 1909 to accept a position at the General Electric Research Lab. Ironically, he soon invented a lamp that made the Nernst Lamp (among others) obsolete. In 1910 Langmuir began to experiment with bendable tungsten wire developed by his colleague William Coolidge. Langmuir's goal was to find a way to keep tungsten lamps from "blackening," or growing dim as the inside of the bulb became coated with evaporated tungsten. Though his work did not solve this problem it did result in a coiled tungsten filament mounted in a gas-filled lamp the same design still used today.

Email Search Join Shop Site map Site Tour Home L angmuir, Irving b. Jan. 31, 1881, Brooklyn, N.Y., U.S. d. Aug. 16, 1957, Falmouth, Mass. Langmuir was greatly influenced by his brother, Arthur, a research chemist who encouraged Irving's curious nature. He helped him set up his first lab in a corner of his bedroom; he patiently answered the young boy's questions about simple matters - why does water boil ? why does rain fall ? In 1892, the family moved to Paris. Irving's intellectual curiosity was stifled by the traditional, rigid schooling he encountered there. He was happy to return to Philadelphia and the Chestnut Hill Academy where a special teacher was able to rekindle his former fervor. He then attended and graduated from the Pratt Institute's Manual Training High School in Brooklyn, and went on to receive a B.S. in metallurgical engineering from Columbia School of Mines in 1903. Langmuir chose Gottingen University for his post graduate work. This decision would prove to be a fortunate one because working under Walther Nernst, who was both a theoretician and an inventor, led Langmuir to the applied research that became the foundation of his career. He received his PhD in 1906 for research done using the "Nernst glower", an electric lamp invented by Nernst. The goal of his research at Gottingen was to determine what happened to various gases produced in the presence of a hot platinum wire. This laid the groundwork for many of his later interests.

Writers and Writing Irving Langmuir: A Living Legacy Article # : Section : NATURAL SCIENCE Issue Date : 2,831 Words Author : George Wise Beyond the reach of earth's atmosphere, satellites and deep space probes have revealed that our solar system is permeated by a dilute collection of charged particles called a plasma. Irving Langmuir coined the term and helped create the field of plasma physics more than 60 years ago. Engineers seek to apply to microelectronic circuitry a type of film only a few molecules thick, possessing exciting electrical properties. Langmuir and coworker Katharine Blodgett discovered those films. A physiologist publishes a book in 1989 describing the evolution of man's understanding of cell membranes: Langmuir's work on surface chemistry, for which he won the 1932 Nobel Prize in Chemistry, is a central episode in the story. Yet Langmuir died more than 30 years ago, leaving behind a body of work notable not just for its size (his collected works fill twelve volumes) but also for its breadth and perpetual timeliness. Irving Langmuir was born in 1881 in Brooklyn. As a college student at Columbia University at the turn of the century, he was already committed to a lifetime goal: "to be free to do research as I wish." This was in keeping with family training that stressed self-reliance and exploration. When his father, an insurance executive, had taken the family to live in Europe, one vacation was spent in the Alps. There Irving, through only 12 years old, had been encouraged to go alone on day-long hikes and climbs.

Nobel Prize Winning Chemists Irving Langmuir The Nobel Prize In Chemistry 1932 Irving Langmuir was born in Brooklyn, New York, on January 31, 1881, as the third of four sons of Charles Langmuir and Sadie, nee Comings. His early education was obtained in various schools and institutes in the USA, and in Paris. He graduated as a metallurigcal engineer from the School of Mines at Columbia University in 1903. Langmuir's studies embraced chemistry, physics, and engineering and were largely the outgrowth of studies of vacuum phenomena. In seeking the atomic and molecular mechanisms of these he investigated the properties of absorbed films and the nature of electric discharges in high vacumm and in certain gases at low pressures. His work on filaments in gases led directly to the invention of the gas-filled incandescent lamp and to the discovery of atomic hydrogen. He later used the latter in the development of the atomic hydrogen welding process. He was the first to observe the very stable adsorbed monatomic films on tungsten and platinum filaments, and was able, after experiments with oil films on water, to formulate a general theory of adsorbed films. He also studied the catalytic properties of such films. Langmuir's work on space charge effects and related phenomena led to many important technical developments which have had a profound effect on later technology. In chemistry, his interest in reaction mechanism cause him to study structure and valence, and he contributed to the development of the Lewis theory of shared electrons.
