Bardeen, J. And W. H. Brattain, Shockley, W. Pearson G.L And J. R. Haynes (also Claude Shannon)
Physical Principles Involved in Transistor Action WITH Hole Injection in Germanium - Quantitative Studies and Filamentary Transistors WITH The Theory of P-n Junctions in Semiconductors and P-n Junction Transistors
New York: American Telephone and Telegraph Company 1949. Hard Cover. First Edition. In the Bell System Technical Journal, Volume 28. 753, [1-blank],viii (Volume title, table of contents and index) pages. Blue buckram cloth boards, ex-institutional library with spine lettering, stamps on endpapers, and foreedges. Ugly glue residue from old pocket front pastedown endpaper. Otherwise bright and clean internally, binding sound. This volume includes all 4 quarterly issues of the journal for 1949. Bardeen, Brattain and Shockley won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1956 "for their researches on semiconductors and their discovery of the transistor effect." The first paper referenced here, 'Physical Principles Involved in Transistor Action' is the classic paper on the subject, here in it's original publication format. The same paper was published simultaneously in the April 15, 1949 issue of the Physical Review. Origins of Cyberspace 450. NOTE: This volume also contains a paper by Claude Shannon 'Communication Theory of Secrecy Systems' which was originally published in a now-declassified report 'A Mathematical Theory of Cryptography' in Sept 1, 1945. There are also other papers on the transistor, and papers by other Bell System researchers. The Bell System Research Labs functioned as a rich incubator during this period, turning out key developments across many technologies. The Bell System Technical Journal is an important journal of record for research in electronics, physics, communications theory, and mathematics. Near Fine. [Book #17602] |
