Papers and correspondence of Edmund Clifton Stoner, 1909-1969.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/154306662

The collection consists of Stoner's own compilation of material, with many of his own notes, dates and comments; included are completed narrative accounts of school and university days, and some stories, essays and poems. There is a complete run of daily journals (1919-1968), material relating to the Department of Physics at Leeds, and an extensive correspondence section (1918-1966) fully indexed by Stoner, this includes the regular correspondence between Stoner and relatives in the London area during the Second World War, which gives a record of life at that period. Although much of the correspondence is related to day-to-day activities, visits, conferences, appointment of examiners, etc., the scientific exchanges of interest include an extended correspondence in the late 1940s and early 1950s with his former student Erich Peter Wohlfarth relevant to developments in the theory of ferromagnetism. The collection includes notes made by Stoner of lectures given at Cambridge by Ernest Rutherford, Edward Appleton, George Searle, Joseph John Thomson, Charles Galton Darwin, C.T.R. Wilson, and others, as well as Niels Bohr's lecture on quantum theory and atomic structure given at Cambridge in 1922. The collection also includes miscellaneous photographs covering the period 1910-1963, listed and described by Stoner himself.

Niels Bohr was a Danish physicist who made tremendous contributions to his field, transforming accepted notions of atomic structure, helping to develop nuclear fission, and advocating for international cooperation in crafting responsible nuclear policy. Bohr was born in Copenhagen in 1885 into a family that encouraged his academic pursuits. Christian Bohr, his father, was professor of physiology at the University of Copenhagen. Bohr credited his father for awakening hi...
