摘要
彭桓武,中国著名理论物理学家,"两弹一星"功勋奖章获得者。1938年至1947年,彭桓武先后在英国爱丁堡大学、爱尔兰都柏林研究院理论物理所学习工作。彭桓武回国后曾参与组织中华人民共和国核武器理论设计工作并注重培养理论物理人才。基于档案、书信以及手稿等资料,介绍彭桓武留欧期间与玻恩、薛定谔、海特勒等物理学家的交往。此外,尝试评述彭桓武早期在固体物理、介子理论和量子场论等方面的研究工作。从而,有助于理解彭桓武回国后在中国核武器理论设计和理论物理发展方面的贡献。
Huan-wu Peng（ 1915 ~ 2007） was a famous Chinese theoretical physicist. From1938 to 1947, he successively studied and worked in the University of Edinburgh and Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies in Ireland. After he came back China in 1947, Peng committed himself to the theoretical designs of nuclear weapons and cultivating young talents. Based on primary and other historical materials, this article makes a special inquiry into Peng＇s association with M. Born, E.Schrdinger and W. H. Heitler. Moreover, it also attempts to make a preliminary comments on Peng＇s work on solid state physics, Meson theory and quantum field theory. All of the above mentioned could be helpful to understand Peng＇s contributions to the theoretical design of nuclear weapon and theoretical physics＇ development in China.
