It was only with this work that physicists realized that quantum theory is an essential ingredient in atomic physics, and it was also only with this work that Rutherford's nuclear model dating from 1911 was transformed into a proper theory of atomic structure. In a longer perspective, Bohr's quantum atom of 1913 gave rise to the later Heisenberg-Schrödinger quantum mechanics and all its marvellous consequences. This book is a detailed account of the origin of the Bohr atom centred around his original scientific articles of 1913 which are here reproduced and provided with the necessary historical background. In addition to the so-called trilogy -- the three papers published in Philosophical Magazine -- also two other and less well-known yet important papers are included. The present work starts with a condensed biographical account of Bohr's life and scientific career, from his birth in Copenhagen in 1885 to his death in the same city 77 years later. It then proceeds with a chapter outlining earlier ideas of atomic structure and tracing Bohr's route from his doctoral dissertation in 1911 over his stays in Cambridge and Manchester to the submission in April 1913 of the first part of the trilogy. The reproduction of Bohr's five articles is followed by notes and comments directly related to the texts, with the aim of clarifying some of the textual passages and to explicate names and subjects that may not be clear or well known. The reception of Bohr's radically new theory by contemporary physicists and chemists is discussed in a final chapter, which deals with the immediate reactions to Bohr's theory 1913-1915 mostly among British, German and American scientists. Historians of science have long been occupied with Bohr's atomic theory, which was the subject of careful studies in connection with its centenary in 2013. The present work offers an extensive source-based account of the original theory aimed at a non-specialist audience with an interest in the history of physics and the origin of the quantum world. In 1922 Bohr was awarded the Nobel Prize for his theory. The coming centenary will undoubtedly cause an increased interest in how he arrived at his revolutionary picture of the constitution of atoms and molecules. 001447636 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed June 22, 2022). 001447636 60010 $$aBohr, Niels,$$d1885-1962. 001447636 650_0 $$aQuantum theory$$xHistory. 001447636 650_0 $$aPhysicists$$zDenmark$$vBiography. 001447636 655_7 $$aBiographies.$$2fast$$0(OCoLC)fst01919896 001447636 655_7 $$aHistory.$$2fast$$0(OCoLC)fst01411628 001447636 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001447636 7001_ $$aKragh, Helge,$$d1944-$$eeditor. 001447636 77608 $$iPrint version: $$z3030976637$$z9783030976637$$w(OCoLC)1295351314 001447636 830_0 $$aClassic texts in the sciences,$$x2365-9971 001447636 852__ $$bebk 001447636 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-030-97664-4$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001447636 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1447636$$pGLOBAL_SET 001447636 980__ $$aBIB 001447636 980__ $$aEBOOK 001447636 982__ $$aEbook 001447636 983__ $$aOnline 001447636 994__ $$a92$$bISE
