Davies, Shannon. "American Physicists Abroad: Copenhagen, 1920-1940," University of Texas at Austin, December 1985. Advisor: William Goetzmann (20, 11)
This dissertation recounts an early chapter in the lives of America’s first generation of modern atomic scientists, a chapter that resembles the more well-known “odyssey” of American literary expatriates of the same period. The study follows the migration of American physicists to Europe in the 1920s and 30s, focusing on their encounters with, and changing relationship to, Niels Bohr in Copenhagen. More broadly, it examines how the physicists’ education abroad helped redefine America’s position in international physics in the 1930s, and thus amends interpretations that concentrate on the influence of the ‚migr‚ physicists and America’s indigenous physics scene.
