Landolt-Börnstein

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Landolt-Börnstein is the abbreviation for the Landolt-Börnstein table of numerical values ​​and functions from physics , chemistry , astronomy , geophysics and technology .

The first edition was published in 1883 by Hans Heinrich Landolt (1831-1910) and Richard Börnstein (1852-1913) as a one-volume manual with 280 pages. The 6th edition (1951–1976) comprised 15 volumes and since 1961 the New Series has been published, which in 2008 already comprised more than 350 volumes.

The reference work is published by Springer Science + Business Media , since 2010 as an extended database under the name SpringerMaterials online and represents the "world's largest source of data from physics, chemistry and materials science".

The Landolt-Börnstein is divided into four sections (volumes):

  • Atomic and Molecular Physics
  • Properties of matter in its aggregate states
  • Astronomy and geophysics
  • technology

1961 began the publication of the similarly oriented work Numerical Values ​​and Functions from Science and Technology. New series , divided into the sections:

  • Substance and keyword indices
  • Units and Fundamental Constants
  • Nuclear physics and technology
  • Atomic and Molecular Physics
  • Crystal and Solid State Physics
  • Macroscopic and technical properties of matter
  • Geophysics and space exploration
  • Astronomy, astrophysics
  • biophysics
  • Advanced Materials and Technologies (founded in 2002)
