摘要
黄昆在英国布里斯托大学获得博士学位后,到利物浦大学做博士后研究,并开始了与20世纪伟大理论物理学家玻恩合著《晶格动力学理论》的工作。该书1954年在英国牛津出版,从此成为该领域最权威的著作之一。黄昆的这一经历是中国物理界绝无仅有的特殊事件。文章基于当事人的著述以及大量相关信函,勾勒出了二人合作过程中,在密切配合、意见分歧以及如何消除分歧等方面的一些细节。回首先贤,深入了解这一事件,对科学的严谨精神、科学奇才的天赋,以及对时代与社会背景如何影响科学家的思想意识等,都可以获得诸多感悟。
After Huang Kun got his doctoral degree at the University of Bristol, he went to the University of Liverpool to do his post-doctoral research. At the same time, he worked with Max Born to write Dynamical Theory of Crystal Lattices ( Oxford University Press, 1954 ) , which became the most authoritative book in the field. Huang Kun's experience was a unique event in the world of physics in China, and is worth treating seriously. Based on the books, papers, and also some related letters of Born and Huang, this paper describes some details of their cooperation. Looking back at these two great physicists today, we can get some special sense of the rigorous spirit of science, the influence of social background on the thought of scientists, and other aspects.
