Das Ideale Gas Als Bedingt Periodisches System Im Sinne Der Quantentheorie. Vorgelegt In Der Sitzung Am 8. Juli 1916 Von P. Debye. Scherrer, Paul Physik

Nachr. Ges. Wiss. Gött. 1916. - Göttingen, 1916, 8°, 6 pp., orig. Broschur. Rare Offprint! "What we can conclude from all this is that it was doubtless in Göttingen where Fermi became aware, almost firsthand, of the problem of the entropy constant. Brody's paper contains a good sample of many of the papers relevant to that purpose, therefore Fermi was able to learn what had been done up until then, but also that there was a persistent problem with the justification of the factor N! Scherrer and Brody's contributions have in common with those of Fermi that they aim to find a solid conceptual foundation for the quantization of an ideal gas, and they do not limit themselves to quantizing the phase space, as had previously been done."

EPJ H 47 (2022), pp.1-24 Paul Hermann Scherrer (3 February 1890 - 25 September 1969) was a Swiss physicist. Born in St. Gallen, Switzerland, he studied at Göttingen, Germany, before becoming a lecturer there. Later, Scherrer became head of the Department of Physics at ETH Zurich.
