Journal of Applied Physics

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The journal for applied physics was founded in 1948 and was published by Springer-Verlag until 1973, when it was replaced by the journal Applied Physics from the same publisher.

The first volume appeared in 1949 (and was for 1948/49). It was published by Springer and JF Bergmann (from Volume 3 of 1951 only Springer). There was one volume per year up to volume 32 in 1972 (for 1971/72). Volume 9 of 1957 was entitled Journal of Applied Physics including Nucleonics . 1969 to 1972 the reports of the Working Group Magnetism were also included.

The founders of the magazine were Georg Joos and Walther Meißner . They saw the journal as the successor to the journal for technical physics, which was discontinued in 1943 . In the GDR, Franz Xaver Eder , a low-temperature physicist in East Berlin and a former student of Meißner, founded a competing magazine in the early 1950s , the magazine for experimental physics . That led to conflicts with Joos and Meißner at the time. In addition to Joos (who died in 1959) and Meißner, Gotthold Richard Vieweg , President of the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt in Braunschweig, was also co-editor from 1948 , and Wilhelm Waidelich in 1959 (Meißner, Vieweg and Waidelich remained editors until 1972).

The journal was published with the assistance of the DPG (initially from 1951 to 1963 Association of German Physical Societies).

The ISSN was 0044-2283.
