Zur Frage der chemischen und physikalischen Natur des Porzellans: Inaugural-Dissertation . . .

Berlin.: Charlottenburg: Verlag freistudentischer Schriften, 1908., 1908. 8vo. 71 pp. 7 plates. Self-wraps. Very good. Refereed by Dr. Walther Hermann Nernst (1864-1941) and Dr. S. Gabriel. Walther Hermann Nernst was German physicist and chemist mainly known for the Nernst Equation and the Third Law of Thermodynamics. He also developed methods for measuring dielectric constants and was the first to show that solvents of high dielectric constants promote the ionization of substances. Nernst proposed the theory of solubility product, generalized the distribution law, and offered a theory of heterogeneous reactions. Walter Hermann Nernst received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry 1920 in recognition of his pre-war work on heat theory and photochemistry.
