On married Elmer Imes and the African- American writer Nella Larsen.
Imes is considered the first black physicist who made important contributions to modern physics and overall was only the second African-American, was awarded a Ph.D. He devoted himself to teaching and research on infrared spectroscopy and magnetic materials, over which he had collected during his time as an industrial physicist experiences. This work led to four patents to his name, but not satisfied Imes, so that he returned again in 1930 as a physics professor at the Fisk University. In 1922 he was a research physicist at the Federal Engineers Development Corporation, from 1924 at the Burrows Magnetic Equipment Corporation and from 1927 a research engineer at EA Imes than African-Americans could not at that time his abilities adequate university career hit and went as an advisory physicist and industrial physicists in the New York area. In the United States at that time was also William Coblentz at Cornell University, a pioneer of infrared spectroscopy. They also provided early evidence of the isotope shift in the spectra. Imes and Randall showed work that quantum theory is not only to atomic spectra, but also in more complex systems ( with radiation in other regions of the spectrum ) was applicable. With this release Imes created a scientific basis for the development of infrared spectroscopy, to which he also contributed through the development of infrared spectrometers.ĭetailed spectra of simple molecules ( molecules with typical additional rotational, and vibrational bands in the infrared range ) evidence of the then located by Niels Bohr and others in their early quantum mechanics. In November, published in 1919, Imes in the Astrophysical Journal from his dissertation research on the absorption of infrared radiation at some covalent gases. Randall had studied with Friedrich Paschen in Tübingen and built at the University a center for infrared spectroscopy.
In 1918, Imes received his doctorate at the University of Michigan in physics at Randall Harrison ( 1870-1969 ). Then he studied until 1903 in Nashville at Fisk University, which was founded in 1866 for African-American students.Īfter graduating, he taught at the Alabama Normal University mathematics and physics, but returned in 1913 to the Fisk University back to his master's degree in physics (1915 ) to make. Imes African-American ethnicity - attended the Grammar School in Oberlin (Ohio ) and the College of Agriculture and Technology in Norman ( Alabama ). Imes - as a son of Elizabeth Wallace and Benjamin A. Elmer Samuel Imes ( born Octoin Memphis ( Tennessee), † Septemin New York ) was an American physicist.
