Annalen der Physik (Annals of Physics) is one of the oldest (since 1799) physics journals worldwide.
The journal today
The journal publishes original, peer-reviewed papers in the areas of experimental, theoretical, applied and mathematical physics and related areas. The current editor in chief is Ulrich Eckern. For 2012, a relaunch with new editor and new contents is announced.[1]
History
Originally, Annalen der Physik was published in German. From the 1950s to the 1980s, the journal published in both German and English. First, only foreign authors contributed articles in English, but from the 1970s German-speaking authors increasingly wrote in English in order to reach an international audience. After the German reunification in 1990, English became the only language of the journal.
The importance of Annalen der Physik unquestionably peaked in 1905 with Einstein's annus mirabilis papers. In the 1920s, the journal lost ground to the concurrent Zeitschrift für Physik. With the 1933 emigration wave, German-language journals lost many of their best authors. From 1944-1946 publication was interrupted. In 1947, it resumed under Soviet occupation rule. While Zeitschrift für Physik moved to Western Germany, Annalen der Physik served physicists in the Deutsche Demokratische Republik. After reunification, the journal was acquired by Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, a subsidiary of John Wiley & Sons.
Editors
The early editors-in-chief were:
- Friedrich Albrecht Carl Gren (1790–1797) (as Journal der Physik and Neues Journal der Physik)
- Ludwig Wilhelm Gilbert (1799–1824)
- Johann Christian Poggendorff (1824–1876) (as Annalen der Physik und Chemie)
- Gustav Heinrich Wiedemann (1877–1899) (as Annalen der Physik und Chemie)
- Paul Karl Ludwig Drude (1900–1906)
With each editor, the numbering of volumes restarted from 1 (co-existent with a continuous numbering, a perpetual source of confusion). The journal was often refered to by the editor's name: Gilberts Annalen, Poggendorfs Annalen, and so on, or for short Pogg. Ann., Wied. Ann..
After Drude, the work was devided between two editors:
- experimentalist Wilhelm Wien (1907–1928), and
- theoretician Max Planck (1907–1943, had been associate editor from 1895).
Notable published works
Some of the most famous papers published in Annalen der Physik were:
- on stretched exponential relaxation by Rudolf Kohlrausch (vol. 91: pp. 56–82 and 179–213, 1854) and his son Friedrich Kohlrausch,
- on the photoelectric effect by Heinrich Hertz (31: 983–1000, 1887),[2]
- on the theory of blackbody radiation by Max Planck (4: 553-563, 1901),[3]
- on capillarity by Albert Einstein (4, 513-523, 1901),[4]
- the above mentioned 1905 papers by Einstein on Photons (light quanta) (17: 132–148, 1905),[5] on brownian motion (17: 549–560, 1905),[6] on mass-energy equivalence (18: 639–641, 1905),[7] and on the special theory of relativity (17: 891–921, 1905),[8]
- on the heat capacities of solids with quantized energy levels by Albert Einstein (22: 180–190, 1907),[9]
- on molecular motion near absolute zero by Albert Einstein and Otto Stern (40: 551–560, 1913),[10]
- on the general theory of relativity by Albert Einstein (49: 769–822, 1916)[11]
