Oppenheimer even gave Pauling a stunning personal collection of minerals. [41] The two men planned to mount a joint attack on the nature of the chemical bond: apparently Oppenheimer would supply the mathematics and Pauling would interpret the results. Their relationship soured when Oppenheimer tried to pursue Pauling's wife, Ava Helen.
Oppenheimer and Snyder did, however, refer to an earlier article by Oppenheimer and Volkoff on neutron stars, improving upon the work of Lev Davidovich Landau. [7] Previously, and in the same year, Oppenheimer and three colleagues, Richard Tolman , Robert Serber , and George Volkoff , had investigated the stability of neutron stars, obtaining ...
