Extractions: Herzberg received his early training in Hamburg and subsequently studied physics at the Darmstadt Institute of Technology where in 1928 he obtained his Dr.Ing. degree under H. Rau (a pupil of W. Wien ). From 1928 to 1930 he carried out post-doctorate work at the under James Franck and Max Born and the University of Bristol . In 1930 he was appointed Privatdozent (lecturer) and senior assistant in the Physics Department of the Darmstadt Institute of Technology. In August 1935 Herzberg was forced to leave Germany as a refugee and took up a guest professorship at the University of Saskatchewan (Saskatoon, Canada), for which funds had been made available by the Carnegie Foundation. A few months later he was appointed research professor of physics, a position he held until 1945. From 1945 to 1948 Herzberg was professor of spectroscopy at the Yerkes Observatory of the University of Chicago . He returned to Canada in 1948 and was made Principal Research Officer and shortly afterwards Director of the Division of Physics at the National Research Council. In 1955, after the Division had been divided into one in pure and one in applied physics, Herzberg remained Director of the Division of Pure Physics, a position which he held until 1969 when he was appointed Distinguished Research Scientist in the recombined Division of Physics.

Extractions: (b. Dec. 25, 1904, Hamburg, Ger.), Canadian physicist and winner of the 1971 Nobel Prize for Chemistry for his work in determining the electronic structure and geometry of molecules, especially free radicalsgroups of atoms that contain odd numbers of electrons. Herzberg became Privatdozent (unsalaried lecturer) at the Darmstadt Institute of Technology in 1930 but fled Nazi Germany in 1935 and obtained a position with the University of Saskatchewan, Saskatoon, Can. From 1945 to 1948 he worked at the Yerkes Observatory, Williams Bay, Wis., U.S., and then returned to Canada, where he joined the National Research Council, Ottawa. Herzberg's spectroscopic studies not only provided experimental results of prime importance to physical chemistry and quantum mechanics but also helped stimulate a resurgence of investigations into the chemical reactions of gases. He devoted much of his research to diatomic molecules, in particular the most common oneshydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and carbon monoxide. He discovered the spectra of certain free radicals that are intermediate stages in numerous chemical reactions, and he was the first to identify the spectra of certain radicals in interstellar gas. Herzberg also contributed much spectrographic information on the atmospheres of the outer planets and the stars. One of his most important works is the three-volume Molecular Spectra and Molecular Structure

Extractions: Home Newsroom Distinguished NRC scientist and Nobel Prize winner, Dr. Gerhard Herzberg, dies at the age of 94 (Ottawa, March 04, 1999) - Renowned physicist, chemist and astronomer, Dr. Gerhard Herzberg passed away yesterday in Ottawa at the age of 94. Dr. Herzberg had officially retired from the National Research Council (NRC) in December, 1994, following 46 years of active research there. He still held a position as Distinguished Research Scientist at NRC's Steacie Institute for Molecular Sciences. Known worldwide as the Father of modern Molecular Spectroscopy, Dr. Herzberg advanced this study of the patterns of light emitted by atoms and molecules into an important tool for scientific investigation into areas as diverse as physics, chemistry, astrophysics, materials, biology and medicine. In 1971, Dr. Herzberg received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for a lifetime of achievement in molecular spectroscopy, culminating in his discovery of the spectrum of methylene (a free radical and transient intermediate molecule with a very short life time in chemical reactions).

Home Education Innovations and Innovators Gerhard Herzberg: Canadian Nobel Laureate, 1971 One of Canada's most famous scientists, Dr. Gerhard Herzberg is internationally recognized as the Father of Molecular Spectroscopy. His contributions to physics during 45 years at NRC have had a major influence on researchers worldwide. Dr. Herzberg also discovered important tools to investigate unknown areas in astrophysics, chemistry, biology and medicine. In astronomy alone, he helped unravel mysteries of the atmospheres of stars and planets. Some of his other discoveries led to contributions to the study of cancer and to studies of pollution in the upper atmosphere. In 1971, Dr. Herzberg was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his discovery of the spectrum of the free radical methylene. This discovery was considered extremely important, as methylene is one of the elementary organic molecules. Dr. Herzberg's impact on spectroscopy is often compared to that of Sir Isaac Newton on gravity and motion, and his research has found application in almost every aspect of modern science, from medicine to electronics.

Archives When the late Dr. Gerhard Herzberg (MSC'38, LLD'53) was growing up in Hamburg, Germany in the early 1900s, the last place he ever dreamed of living was in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. "I doubt my father even knew where Saskatoon was before meeting Mr. Spinks in the 30s," said Herzberg's daughter and Queen's University mathematics professor, Dr. Agnes Herzberg. "But once he found out where it was, he was sure happy to go there. He had to leave Germany. There was no option." Herzberg, a world leader in the field of spectroscopy and the 1971 Nobel Laureate in Chemistry, was forced to leave Nazi Germany in 1934 because his wife's Jewish ancestry resulted in his dismissal from a teaching position at Darmstadt University. Faced with the realization that he had to flee his homeland, Herzberg turned to a visiting scientist from the University of Saskatchewan, John W.T. Spinks. Knowing that at the age of 30 Herzberg had already completed his Doctorate of Engineering Physics and was established as one of the world's top molecular physicists, Spinks, and then U of S President Dr. Walter C. Murray, contacted both the University of Toronto and the National Research Council. Dr. Murray's letter to Herzberg's potential employers stated, "Should neither of you feel inclined to invite him to come, we would do so with joy, although we have not sufficient means to provide him with proper equipment for his work, but a man of his power and resource can make much of little."

Mrs. Herzberg eventually emigrated to Wyoming for a housekeeper's position that enabled her to send small amounts back to her two sons in Germany. The young Herzberg endured those lean and lonely years by immersing himself in mathematics, chemistry and physics. These interests brought him to the attention of a superb high school physics teacher, Herr Hillers, who was in touch with the revolutionary theories then driving physics. He introduced Herzberg to the ideas of such scientists as the great Danish physicist Niels Bohr, whose atomic theories were laying the foundation for quantum mechanics. Assisted by a private scholarship from a German industrialist, Herzberg entered the Technical University at Darmstadt in 1924. By 1928, the 24-year-old Herzberg had completed his Doctor of Engineering Physics degree and published 12 papers in atomic and molecular physics. Consequently, he had no difficulty in obtaining a postdoctoral fellowship at one of the outstanding physics centres of the time, the University of Göttingen. At Göttingen, Herzberg worked under Max Born and James Franck, stars of the era, who were applying quantum mechanics to the mysteries of atomic and molecular structures. He then spent a second postdoctoral year at the University of Bristol, where he investigated the electronic structure of diatomic molecules.
