The table of isotopes eary story
- Lawrence Berkeley National Lab., CA (United States)
The first complete Table of Isotopes, entitled {open_quotes}A table of induced radioactivities,{close_quotes} consisting of 13 pages including references, was published by John J. Livingood and me in the January, 1940 issue of Reviews of Modern Physics; this publication also included a table {open_quotes}Stable Isotopes of the Elements{close_quotes} but didn`t include the natural radioactivities. This was soon followed by a similar {open_quotes}Complete list of induced radioactivities{close_quotes} included in my extensive article {open_quotes}Artificial Radioactivity{close_quotes} published in the August 1940 issue of Chemical Reviews. Then during World War II, working at the wartime Metallurgical Laboratory of the University of Chicago (but with camouflaged identification with U.C. Berkeley) I published in the January 1944 issue of Rev. Mod.-Phys. a 32-page {open_quotes}Table of Isotopes{close_quotes} which included the stable isotopes and natural radioactivities. My {open_quotes}Table of Isotopes{close_quotes} in Rev. Mod. Phys. was updated in 1948 (83 pages), 1953 (182 pages), 1959 (319 pages) with Isadore Perlman, Jack M. Hollander and Donald Strominger as various co-authors.
