While lecturing at such prestigious universities as Johns Hopkins, Columbia, and Chicago, Goeppert Mayer published numerous papers on quantum mechanics and chemical physics, and collaborated on a landmark textbook with her husband, the physical chemist Joseph Mayer. Despite her accomplishments, anti-nepotism rules forbade her from receiving an official appointmentonly Joseph was employed, and for thirty years she taught university physics as an unpaid volunteer.

In 1959, four years before receiving the Nobel Prize for her work on the structure of atomic nuclei, she was finally offered a paid, full-time position by the University of California at San Diego. An avid chain smoker, Goeppert Mayer is perhaps best remembered by students for her ability to continually exchange cigarette and chalk between hands while lecturing without ever confusing the two.

The great stability and abundance of nuclei that have a particular number of neutrons (such as 50, 82, or 126) and the same special number of protons was explained by Mayer in 1949 in terms of the shell nuclear model. This model explained the detailed properties of atomic nuclei in terms of a structure of shells occupied by the protons and neutrons. She and Jensen jointly wrote Elementary Theory of Nuclear Shell Structure

DOE Office of Science Argonne History Nobelist Maria Goeppert Mayer, 1906-1972 Argonne's tradition of excellence is reflected in the achievements of Met Lab and Argonne scientists that have led to many prestigious national and international awards. Among the Nobel Prize winners was an Argonne physicist who shared the 1963 Nobel Prize for physics. When Fermi left Columbia to direct the Met Lab project, Goeppert Mayer took over his courses and worked with Harold Urey on separating uranium isotopes as part of the Manhattan Project. The Mayers did follow Fermi to the University of Chicago in 1945 to continue research at the Institute of Nuclear Studies. Her position remained an unpaid "voluntary" one. One of her former students at Johns Hopkins, Robert Sachs, brought her to Argonne at "a nice consulting salary." Sachs would later become Argonne's director. While there, she learned most of her nuclear theory and set up a system of "magic" numbers to represent the numbers of protons and neutrons, arranged in shells, in the atom's nucleus. While collecting data to support nuclear shells, she was at first unable to marshal a theoretical explanation. During a discussion of the problem with Fermi, he casually asked: "Incidentally, is there any evidence of spin-orbit coupling?" Goeppert Mayer was stunned. She recalled: "When he said it, it all fell into place. In 10 minutes I knew... I finished my computations that night. Fermi taught it to his class the next week." Goeppert Mayer's 1948 theory explained why some nuclei were more stable than others and why some elements were rich in isotopes.

Science News Argonne at 50 Maria Goeppert Mayer is role model for women scientists ARGONNE, Ill. (Dec. 13, 1996) — While working at Argonne National Laboratory in 1948, physicist Maria Goeppert Mayer developed the explanation of how neutrons and protons within atomic nuclei are structured. Called the "nucelar shell model," her work explains why the nuclei of some atoms are more stable than others and why some elements have many different atomic forms, called "isotopes," while others do not. For this work, she shared the 1963 Nobel Prize in physics. Goeppert Mayer was only the second woman to receive the Nobel Prize in physics, following Marie Curie, and only the fourth American woman to win a Nobel Prize. An associate of Enrico Fermi, Goeppert Mayer took over his courses and worked on separating uranium isotopes as part of the Manhattan Project when Fermi left Columbia University to direct the University of Chicago's Metallurgical Laboratory, the project that created the world's first controlled nuclear chain reaction. Goeppert Mayer and her husband followed Fermi to Chicago in 1945. One of Goeppert Mayer's former students, Robert Sachs, hired her at Argonne at what he called "a nice consulting salary." Sachs would later become Argonne's director.

Winning the prize wasn't half as exciting as doing the work itself. Maria Goeppert Mayer, Nobel Prize winner in physics (1963) Goeppert Mayer is one of the few women to have won the Nobel prize in physics or chemistry (trivia question - who are the others?). She was cited for her work on the structure of the nucleus. Though she received her Ph.D. from the University of Goettingen in 1930 and worked on the Manhattan Project during World War II, her first full time paid position was at the University of San Diego in 1960! She had often worked at the same institution as her husband (a chemist), and hiring rules at the time forbade spouses from having faculty positions at the same place. At the beginning of her career, many places considered her a "nuisance". Her early work in chemical physics was with Herzfeld on the colors of organic molecules. See the Nobel site for more information.

Maria Goeppert Mayer Maria Goeppert Mayer came from a German family with sevengenerations of university professors. She received her doctorate at age of 24. Goeppert Mayer had to study for the exams by herself, because the only school that prepared women for the university had closed. Maria Goeppert Mayer worked with some of the most important physicists and chemists of the twentieth century, including the famous German physicist Max Born. Born’s work helped describe the structure of atoms and the motion of atomic particles. Geoppert Mayer was interested in atomic structure; she proposed a shell model for the nucleus of the atom. For this work, she won a Noble Prize in 1963. Maria Goeppert Mater was on the faculty of the University of California at San Diego.

INTRODUÇO Maria Goeppert Mayer é a mais conhecida de todas as mulheres cientistas modernas. Sua história está contada em muitas bibliografias. Aqui, vamos comentar apenas a sua contribuição para a física nuclear, em particular o desenvolvimento do Modelo de Camadas Nucleares. Quem era Maria Goeppert Mayer? Completou o seu Doutorado em Goettingen em 1930, e naquele ano casou-se com Joseph Mayer, seu professor. Poucos anos depois, Joseph foi contratado pela John Hopkins University (EUA), onde o casal escreveu um livro sobre Mecânica Estatística que se tornou rapidamente um texto básico daquela disciplina. O que rolava na época? Os anos 30 foram muito ruins, muita depressão, muita dificuldade para se encontrar trabalho. A Segunda Gerra Mundial estava chegando, não estava claro na época se a democracia sobreviveria. Havia nos EUA um certo movimento "anti-ciência", e Joseph Mayer acabou perdendo o emprego por razões financeiras. Porém, durante a Gerra, Maria acabou se envolvendo no Projeto Manhattan , o qual culminou na primeira bomba atômica norte-americana, tendo sido apontada por Robert Sachs, que havia sido o primeiro aluno dela.
