The development of the quantum-mechanical electron theory of metals
... We trace the fundamental developments and events, in their intellectual as well as institutional settings, of the emergence of the quantum-mechanical electron theory of metals from 1928 to 1933. This paper continues an earlier study of the first phase of the development from 1926 to 1928 devoted to ...
