Biography
Maria Goeppert Mayer was born on June 28, 1906 in Kattowitz, Germany, to Friedrich and Maria (nee Wolff) Goeppert. In 1910
she moved with her parents to Gottingen where her father taught pediatrics at the University. She enrolled at the University
at Gottingen in the spring of 1924 with the expectation of pursuing a career in mathematics, but soon became attracted to
physics and the developing field of quantum mechanics. In 1930 Mayer took her doctorate in theoretical physics under the direction
of Nobel prize winners Max Born, James Franck, and Adolf Windaus.
While completing her studies at Gottingen she met and married Joseph Edward Mayer, an American post-doctoral fellow working
in physical chemistry under James Franck. Together they moved to Baltimore, Maryland where Joseph taught at the Johns Hopkins
University. In 1939 they went to Columbia University. There Maria worked under the direction of Harold Urey at the S.A.M.
(Strategic Alloy Metals) Laboratory which researched the separation of isotopes of uranium. She co-authored a text entitled
STATISTICAL MECHANICS (1940) with her husband. After the war she took a professorship of physics at the Institute for Nuclear
Studies, University of Chicago. During this period Mayer began a long correspondence with Edward Teller.
In 1948, Mayer began work on nuclear shell structure and the meaning of the "magic numbers"- those nuclei that have a special
number of protons. She postulated these numbers to be the shell numbers of a shell model, a "nuclear counterpart to the closed
shells of electrons" at the atomic level. In 1950 she met and began a collaboration with Johannes Hans Daniel Jensen which
led to the publication of the book entitled ELEMENTARY THEORY OF NUCLEAR SHELL THEORY (1955). In 1963, Maria Mayer was awarded
the Nobel Prize jointly with Hans Jensen for their work on the Shell Model.
Maria Goeppert Mayer came to the University of California, San Diego, in 1960 as a professor of physics. At San Diego she
taught while conducting research in nuclear physics under grants administered by Keith Brueckner. During this period Mayer
publically encouraged young women to pursue careers in the sciences. She was a member of the National Academy of Sciences,
the Akademie der Wissenschafter in Heidelberg, and the Philosophical Society. After a protracted illness, she died on February
20, 1972.

CORRESPONDENCE
Scope and Contents of Series
Series 1) CORRESPONDENCE: Maria Mayer's papers contain a relative abundance of correspondence, much in German, with family
members, professional colleagues, and admirers. Within the subseries, folders are arranged in chronological order.
Arranged in four subseries: A) General Correspondence, B) Edward Teller Correspondence, C) Undated Correspondence and D) Family
Correspondence.
A) General Correspondence: Incoming and outgoing correspondence in English and German, arranged chronologically, primarily
with scientific colleagues and organizations. The German correspondence may include notes in English on the contents of the
letter. Also contained in the correspondence are letters from Mayer's dissertation advisor, Max Born, who emigrated to England
before World War II. Most of his letters are of a personal nature, discussing the impending war with Germany, life in besieged
England, and the affairs of mutual friends and colleagues.
B) Edward Teller Correspondence: The Teller letters were probably written in the period 1939-1971 by Dr. Edward Teller, physicist,
and "Father of the H-Bomb." Most of the letters are on plain paper, handwritten, and signed "Edward". A few are typed on letterhead
from the University of Chicago, University of California, Berkeley, and a Santa Fe Post Office Box (Los Alamos). One letter
was written in German, while the remaining letters are in English, and for the most part appear to have been written from
hotel rooms or during transit on planes or trains.
The letters were written against a background of national and international events: the outbreak of World War II in Europe
in 1939; the bombing of Pearl Harbor and the entry of the United States into the War; the dropping of atom bombs on Japan
in 1945; the political situation in the post war United States; the re-election of President Truman in 1948; the Klaus Fuchs
exposure in 1950; the Soviet take-over of Hungary; the United States entry into the Korean War in 1950; and the investigation
of J. Robert Oppenheimer, Director of the Manhattan Project.
From this historical background, it is possible to assign tentative year dates to many of the letters. In a very few cases,
a month has been added when a family event, for example a birth or death, has been mentioned. When the letters were received
from the donor there was no apparent organization. They have now been organized into 17 folders by date. The general nature
of these letters is purely personal. Although there are occasional references to particular physics problems in which Teller
or Mayer was engaged, there are no detailed discussions of a scientific nature.
There are innumerable references to mutual friends and physicists, their locations and activities. Occasionally, Teller mentions
his wife Mici and his children Paul, Susan, and Wendy. Teller speaks about his family in Hungary. He discusses the condition
of postwar Germany and of what might be done to get surviving scientists out and to the United States. He speaks of his great
love for the Hungarian language and for Hungarian poetry and of his regret that Maria does not know that language. He takes
note of place as well as time, speaking of walking by the Danube River, the beauty of New Mexico, and the climate of California.
The great strength of the letters is the completely open way in which Teller writes about his hopes, fears, disappointments,
and rages, his dissatisfaction with himself, his work habits, and his frequently stormy relations with fellow scientists.
This is particularly true of the period 1946 when he was trying to choose between remaining at Los Alamos, returning to the
University of Chicago, or accepting an offer from the University of California. It is also true of a later period, 1950, when
the issue of the loyalty oath in California caused him to refuse a position as professor at the University. He expressed himself
vigorously on this issue. Finally, there are no apparent direct references to his testimony before the Atomic Energy Committee
in their enquiry into J. Robert Oppenheimer.
C) Undated Correspondence: Incoming correspondence in English and German from friends and colleagues, arranged alphabetically
by surname.
D) Family Correspondence: Incoming and outgoing correspondence in German between Maria Mayer and family members, particularly
her mother, Maria Wolff.
