as stationed in berlin between january and september 1917 36 and meitner had to do everything themselves by december 1917 she was able to isolate the substance and after further work were able to prove that it was indeed the missing isotope meitner submitted her and hahn s findings for publication in march 1918 to the scientific paper physikalischen zeitschrift under the title die muttersubstanz des actiniums ein neues radioaktives element von langer lebensdauer the mother substance of actinium a new radioactive element with a long lifetime 35 37 although fajans and göhring had been the first to discover the element custom required that an element was represented by its longest lived and most abundant isotope and while brevium had a half life of 1 7 minutes hahn and meitner s isotope had one of 32 500 years the name brevium no longer seemed appropriate fajans agreed to meitner and hahn naming the element protoactinium 38 39 in june 1918 soddy and john cranston announced that they had extracted a sample of the isotope but unlike hahn and meitner were unable to describe its characteristics they acknowledged hahn s and meitner s priority and agreed to the name 39 the connection to uranium remained a mystery as neither of the known isotopes of uranium decayed into protactinium it remained unsolved until the mother isotope uranium 235 was discovered in 1929 35 37 for their discovery hahn and meitner were repeatedly nominated for the nobel prize in chemistry in the 1920s by several scientists among them max planck heinrich goldschmidt and fajans himself 40 41 in 1949 the international union of pure and applied chemistry iupac named the new element definitively protactinium and confirmed hahn and meitner as discoverers 42 discovery of nuclear isomerism edit decay chain of uranium 238 with the discovery of protactinium most of the decay chains of uranium had been mapped when hahn returned to his work after the war he looked back over his 1914 results and considered some anomalies that had been dismissed or overlooked he dissolved uranium salts in a hydrofluoric acid solution with tantalic acid first the tantalum in the ore was precipitated then the protactinium in addition to the uranium x1 thorium 234 and uranium x2 protactinium 234 hahn detected traces of a radioactive substance with a half life of between 6 and 7 hours there was one isotope known to have a half life of 6 2 hours mesothorium ii actinium 228 this was not in any probable decay chain but it could have been contamination as the kwic had experimented with it hahn and meitner demonstrated in 1919 that when actinium is treated with hydrofluoric acid it remains in the insoluble residue since mesothorium ii was an isotope of actinium the substance was not mesothorium ii it was protactinium 43 44 hahn was now confident enough he had found something that he named his new isotope uranium z in february 1921 he published the first report on his discovery 45 hahn determined that uranium z had a half life of around 6 7 hours with a two per cent margin of error and that when uranium x1 decayed it became uranium x2 about 99 75 per cent of the time and uranium z around 0 25 per cent of the time he found that the proportion of uranium x to uranium z extracted from several kilograms of uranyl nitrate remained constant over time strongly indicating that uranium x was the mother of uranium z to prove this hahn obtained a hundred kilograms of uranyl nitrate separating the uranium x from it took weeks he found that the half life of the parent of uranium z differed from the known 24 day half life of uranium x1 by no more than two or three days but was unable to get a more accurate value hahn concluded that uranium z and uranium x2 were both the same isotope of protactinium protactinium 234 and they both decayed into uranium ii uranium 234 but with different half lives 43 44 46 uranium z was the first example of nuclear isomerism walther gerlach later remarked that this was a discovery that was not understood at the time but later became highly significant for nuclear physics 25 not until 1936 was carl friedrich von weizsäcker able to provide a theoretical explanation of the phenomenon 47 48 for this discovery whose full significance was recognised by very few hahn was again proposed for the nobel prize in chemistry by bernhard naunyn goldschmidt and planck 40 applied radiochemistry edit as a young graduate student at the university of california at berkeley in the mid 1930s and in connection with our work with plutonium a few years later i used his book applied radiochemistry as my bible this book was based on a series of lectures which professor hahn had given at cornell in 1933 it set forth the laws for the co precipitation of minute quantities of radioactive materials when insoluble substances were precipitated from aqueous solutions i recall reading and rereading every word in these laws of co precipitation many times attempting to derive every possible bit of guidance for our work and perhaps in my zealousness reading into them more than the master himself had intended i doubt that i have read sections in any other book more carefully or more frequently than those in hahn s applied radiochemistry in fact i read the entire volume repeatedly and i recall that my chief disappointment with it was its length it was too short glenn seaborg 49 in 1924 hahn was elected to full membership of the prussian academy of sciences in berlin by a vote of thirty white balls to two black 50 while still remaining the head of his own department he became deputy director of the kwic in 1924 and succeeded alfred stock as the director in 1928 51 meitner became the director of the physical radioactivity division while hahn headed the chemical radioactivity division 52 in the early 1920s hahn created a new line of research using the emanation method which he had recently developed and the emanation ability he founded what became known as applied radiochemistry for the researching of general chemical and physical chemical questions in 1936 cornell university press published a book in english and later in russian titled applied radiochemistry which contained the lectures given by hahn when he was a visiting professor at cornell university in ithaca new york in 1933 this publication had a major influence on almost all nuclear chemists and physicists in the united states the united kingdom france and the soviet union during the 1930s and 1940s 49 hahn is referred to as the father of nuclear chemistry which emerged from applied radiochemistry 53 54 55 nazi germany edit impact of nazism edit fritz strassmann had come to the kwic to study under hahn to improve his employment prospects after the nazi party nsdap came to power in germany in 1933 strassmann declined a lucrative offer of employment because it required political training and nazi party membership later rather than become a member of a nazi controlled organisation strassmann resigned from the society of german chemists when it became part of the nazi german labour front as a result he could neither work in the chemical industry nor receive his habilitation the prerequisite for an academic position meitner persuaded hahn to hire strassmann as an assistant soon he would be credited as a third collaborator on the papers they produced and would sometimes even be listed first 56 57 hahn spent february to june 1933 in the united states and canada as a visiting professor at cornell university 58 he gave an interview to the toronto star weekly in which he painted a flattering portrait of adolf hitler i am not a nazi but hitler is the hope the powerful hope of german youth at least 20 million people revere him he began as a nobody and you see what he has become in ten years in any case for the youth for the nation of the future hitler is a hero a führer a saint in his daily life he is almost a saint no alcohol not even tobacco no meat no women in a word hitler is an unequivocal christ 59 the april 1933 law for the restoration of the professional civil service banned jews and communists from academia meitner was exempt from its impact because she was an austrian rather than a german citizen 60 haber was likewise exempt as a veteran of world war i but chose to resign his directorship of the kaiser wilhelm institute of physical chemistry and electrochemistry in protest on 30 april 1933 the directors of the other kaiser wilhelm institutes even the jewish ones complied with the new law 61 which applied to the kws as a whole and those kaiser wilhelm institutes with more than 50 state support which exempted the kwi for chemistry 62 hahn therefore did not have to fire any of his own full time staff but as the interim director of haber s institute he dismissed a quarter of its staff including three department heads gerhart jander was appointed the new director of haber s old institute and reoriented it towards chemical warfare research 63 otto hahn s marble bust at the deutsches museum in munich like most kws institute directors haber had accrued a large discretionary fund it was his wish that it be distributed to the dismissed staff to facilitate their emigration hahn brokered a deal whereby 10 per cent of the funds would be allocated to haber s people and the rest to kws but the rockefeller foundation insisted that the funds be used for their original scientific research or else be returned in august 1933 the administrators of the kws were alerted that several boxes of rockefeller foundation funded equipment were about to be shipped to herbert freundlich one of the department heads that hahn had dismissed who was now working in england ernst telschow de a nazi party member was in charge while planck the president of the kws since 1930 was on vacation and he ordered the shipment halted hahn complied but he disagreed with the decision on the grounds that funds from abroad should not be diverted to military research which the kws was increasingly undertaking when planck returned from vacation he ordered hahn to expedite the shipment 64 65 haber died on 29 january 1934 a memorial service was held on the first anniversary of his death university professors were forbidden to attend so they sent their wives in their place hahn planck and joseph koeth attended and gave speeches 63 66 the ageing planck did not seek re election and was succeeded in 1937 as president by carl bosch a winner of the nobel prize in chemistry and the chairman of the board of ig farben a company which had bankrolled the nazi party since 1932 telschow became secretary of the kws he was an enthusiastic supporter of the nazis but was also loyal to hahn being one of his former students and hahn welcomed his appointment 67 63 hahn s chief assistant otto erbacher became the kwi for chemistry s party steward vertrauensmann 68 rubidium strontium dating edit while hahn was in north america in 1905 1906 his attention had been drawn to a mica like mineral from manitoba that contained rubidium he had studied the radioactive decay of rubidium 87 and had estimated its half life at 2 10 11 years it occurred to him that by comparing the quantity of strontium in the mineral which had once been rubidium with that of the remaining rubidium he could measure the age of the mineral assuming that his original calculation of the half life was reasonably accurate this would be a superior dating method to studying the decay of uranium because some of the uranium turns into helium which then escapes resulting in rocks appearing to be younger than they really were jacob papish helped hahn obtain several kilograms of the mineral 69 in 1937 strassmann and ernst walling extracted 253 4 milligrams of strontium carbonate from 1 012 grams of the mineral all of which was the strontium 87 isotope indicating that it had all been produced from radioactive decay of rubidium 87 the age of the mineral had been estimated at 1 975 million years from uranium minerals in the same deposit which implied that the half life of rubidium 87 was 2 3 10 11 years quite close to hahn s original calculation 70 71 rubidium strontium dating became a widely used technique for dating rocks in the 1950s when mass spectrometry became common 72 discovery of nuclear fission edit main article discovery of nuclear fission this set up is on display in the deutsches museum in munich the table and instruments are original but the instruments would not have been together on the one table in the same room 73 pressure from historians scientists and feminists caused the museum to alter the display in 1988 to acknowledge lise meitner otto frisch and fritz strassmann 74 after james chadwick discovered the neutron in 1932 75 irène curie and frédéric joliot irradiated aluminium foil with alpha particles they found that this results in a short lived radioactive isotope of phosphorus they noted that positron emission continued after the neutron emissions ceased not only had they discovered a new form of radioactive decay they had transmuted an element into a hitherto unknown radioactive isotope of another thereby inducing radioactivity where there had been none before radiochemistry was now no longer confined to certain heavy elements but extended to the entire periodic table 76 77 chadwick noted that being electrically neutral neutrons could penetrate the atomic nucleus more easily than protons or alpha particles 78 enrico fermi and his colleagues in rome picked up on this idea 79 and began irradiating elements with neutrons 80 the radioactive displacement law of fajans and soddy said that beta decay causes isotopes to move one element up on the periodic table and alpha decay causes them to move two down when fermi s group bombarded uranium atoms with neutrons they found a complex mix of half lives fermi therefore concluded that the new elements with atomic numbers greater than 92 known as transuranium elements had been created 80 meitner and hahn had not collaborated for many years but meitner was eager to investigate fermi s results hahn initially was not but he changed his mind when aristid von grosse suggested that what fermi had found was an isotope of protactinium 81 they set out to determine whether or not the 13 minute isotope was indeed an isotope of protactinium 82 between 1934 and 1938 hahn meitner and strassmann found a great number of radioactive transmutation products all of which they regarded as transuranic 83 at that time the existence of actinides was not yet established and uranium was wrongly believed to be a group 6 element similar to tungsten it followed that the first transuranic elements would be similar to group 7 to 10 elements i e rhenium and platinoids they established the presence of multiple isotopes of at least four such elements and mistakenly identified them as elements with atomic numbers 93 through 96 they were the first scientists to measure the 23 minute half life of uranium 239 and to establish chemically that it was an isotope of...
