释义 | Meitner, Lise Austrian physicist born Nov. 7, 1878, Vienna died Oct. 27, 1968, Cambridge, Cambridgeshire, Eng. ![]() After receiving her doctorate at the University of Vienna (1906), Meitner attended Max Planck's lectures at Berlin in 1907 and joined Hahn in research on radioactivity. During three decades of association, she and Hahn were among the first to isolate the isotope protactinium-231 (which they called protactinium), studied nuclear isomerism and beta decay, and in the 1930s (along with Strassmann) investigated the products of neutron bombardment of uranium. Because she was Jewish, she left Nazi Germany in the summer of 1938 to settle in Sweden. After Hahn and Strassmann had demonstrated that barium appears in neutron-bombarded uranium, Meitner, with her nephew Otto Frisch (Frisch, Otto Robert), elucidated the physical characteristics of this division and in January 1939 proposed the term fission for the process. She retired to England in 1960. |
