29. Apr. 2009 · He arrived at Duke in 1939. The University scientific community, especially the Chemistry community, was overjoyed to have obtained the services of a man with London’s scientific reputation: the Heitler-London theory of covalence, the theory of dispersion forces, and the role of Bose-Einstein condensation in superconductivity and ...
Fritz Wolfgang London (March 7, 1900 – March 30, 1954) was a German born physicist and professor at Duke University. His fundamental contributions to the theories of chemical bonding and of intermolecular forces ( London dispersion forces ) are today considered classic and are discussed in standard textbooks of physical chemistry.
