Biography:
Baart de la Faille attained his doctorate at the University of Franeker. In 1748 he opened the "Mathematische-konstschool," a school of mathematics, in The Hague. In addition he was a 'lector mathesis en physica experimentalis' at the 'Sociëteit van 's Gravenhage'. In 1755 he was appointed first lector of physics and mathematics in the service of the Foundation of Renswoude. He put together a broad collection of physical instruments for the Foundation. This cabinet was known as one of the largest collections of physical instruments in the Republic.
Baart de la Faille was the first lector of physics at the Foundation of Renswoude.

Dissertation: Metingen over het verschijnsel van KerrHighest degree: doctor
Fields of interest:
Biography:
Zeeman was born to Wilhelmina Worst and Catharinus Farandinus Zeeman, a Lutheran minister. He went to the HBS in nearby Zierikzee and then studied classical languages at the gymnasium in Delft for two years. During this period he published an account of an aurora borealis visible in Zonnemaire. He entered the University of Leiden in 1885, where he studied under Lorentz and Kamerlingh Onnes and became an assistant in Kamerlingh Onnes's laboratory in 1895. He received his doctorate in 1893 for a dissertation on the so-called Kerr Effect, for the research of which he had received the gold medal of the Hollandsche Maatschappij in the previous year. After a year in Strasbourg at the Kohlrausch Institute, he became privat-dozent at Leiden and married Elisabeth Lebret, with whom he had a son and three daughters. From 1896 until his retirement, Zeeman was on the faculty of the University of Amsterdam (lecturer, 1896, extraordinarius, 1900, ordinarius, 1908). In 1908 he succeeded Van der Waals as the director of the university's physics laboratory, the Physics Institute.
While still at Leiden, Zeeman discovered the effect named-after him. He was searching for an interaction between magnetic and optical effects. Faraday had investigated the effect of a magnetic field on spectral lines as early as 1862, but without a positive result. Zeeman repeated the experiment, using a diffraction grating of high resolving power and found that the emission line of sodium was broadened (1896). Lorentz and Zeeman explained the phenomenon by supposing that the electron (discovered the previous year by JJ. Thomson) moved within the atom and emitted light. Measurements of the frequencies at the extremes of the broadened line allowed them to determine the e / m ratio. At Amsterdam, the following year, Zeeman was able to split the sodium line into a triplet, as predicted by Lorentz. For this work Zeeman and Lorentz received the Nobel Prize in physics in 1902.
Zeeman continued his research on the Zeeman effect, but the limitations of his laboratory in Amsterdam prevented great accuracy. This problem was not overcome until the construction of a new laboratory in 1923 (since 1940 the Zeeman Laboratory). He also measured the velocity of light in moving media, showing that the value of the Fresnel coefficient varied with the wavelength, a prediction of relativity theory. Only after 1923 did he return to measurements of the Zeeman effect, measuring the spectral lines of several noble gases and rhenium. Zeeman served as secretary (1912-1920) and chairman (1931) of the Physics division of the Royal Academy of Arts and Sciences, as president of the Commission Internationale des Poids et Mesures in Paris from 1940 to 1943, and as rector magnificus of the university of Amsterdam from 1920 to 1923. He received honorary doctorates from ten universities and prizes from the most prestigious scientific societies, including the Académie des Sciences, the Royal Society, and the National Academy of Sciences. With A.D. Fokker, he edited the papers of H.A. Lorentz ('s-Gravenhage: Martinus NijhofF, 1934- 1939).

Biography:
De Haas was born to Albertus de Haas and Maria Efting. He attended primary school and HBS in Middelburg, where his father was head of the Rijksleerschool (a teachers' school). Starting in 1895, De Haas worked in the office of a notary, while he studied for the professional examinations (passing two of the three parts). In 1900 he passed the state examination in Greek and Latin and enrolled at the university of Leiden. From 1905 to 1911, he was an assistant in the laboratory of Kamerlingh Onnes and Kuenen, passing his doctoral examination in 1910. From 1911 to 1913, he served as assistant to H. E. J. G. du Bois at the Bosscha Laboratorium in Berlin. In 1912, he received his doctorate under Kamerlingh Onnes for a dissertation on Metingen over de compressibiliteit van waterstof, in het bijzonder van waterstofdamp bij en beneden het kookpunt (Measurements of the Compressibility of Hydrogen, in particular of Hydrogen vapor near and below the Boiling Point). In that year, De Haas and P. Drapier discovered an ingenious method of determining the diamagnetic susceptibility of water, a discovery that led to his appointment as 'wissenschaftlicher Mitarbeiter' at the Physikalisch Technische Reichsanstalt in Berlin, 1913-1915.
World War I forced De Haas to leave Germany. He taught physics at the HBS and Gymnasium at Deventer for a year, and in 1916 became curator at Teyler's Museum in Haarlem, where Lorentz was the chief curator. But before leaving Berlin, in 1915, De Haas had begun working with Einstein on molecular currents which give rise to permanent molecular magnets. De Haas's experiments led to the formulation of the so-called Einstein-De Haas Effect, for which he and Einstein received the Baumgartner Prize of the Viennese Academy of Sciences in 1917. In that same year, De Haas was appointed to the chair of applied physics at the Technical College at Delft, in 1922 he accepted the chair of physics at the university of Groningen and was elected to membership of the Royal Academy of Arts and Sciences, in 1923, he became a member of the Hollandsche Maatschappij der Wetenschappen.
Upon the retirement of Heike Kamerlingh Onnes, De Haas succeeded him in 1924 as professor of physics and meteorology at the University of Leiden. With Keesom, he became co-director of the Physics Laboratory (officially named the Kamerlingh Onnes Laboratorium in 1932) and headed the electromagnetic department. De Haas worked with a number of co-workers in cryogenic research. Under his leadership, the new method of reaching ultra-low temperatures, adiabatic demagnetization, was developed: by 1935, De Haas and his team had reached a temperature of 0.005 °K. But his research was by no means restricted to this work. Together with coworkers, De Haas made paramagnetic measurements that gave clearer insight into the structure of atoms and investigated magnetic moments of ions in crystals.
De Haas was one of the most important low-temperature physicists of the first half of the twentieth century. He took part in the Solvay Congresses of 1921 and 1930, was honored by Royal Society of London with the Rumford Medal, was an honorary member of the Société française de physique, and gave the Scott Lectures at Cambridge in 1937. In Leiden, he served as the president of the society that governed the school for instrument makers from 1926 to 1951.
In 1939, De Haas advised the Dutch government to buy quantities of uranium oxide that came on the market that year. His advice was followed, and the uranium oxide remained hidden in a laboratory in Delft during World War II. After the war, it became the foundation of a cooperative Norwegian-Dutch nuclear energy project. During World War II, De Haas had freedom to move around because of his cooperation with Cellastic, an organization that worked for the Germans. As a result, he was able to escape to England. For this cooperation, he was investigated after the war, and from June to October 1945 he was suspended as professor, after which he resumed Ms role and occupied the chair of experimental physics at Leiden until his retirement in 1948.
