[1]Marian
von
Smoluchowski
was
born 28
May 1872.
[2]See
Boltzmann
1898,
pp.
v-vi.
[3]See
Smoluchowski 1898.
[4]See Kundt and
Warburg 1875a,
1875b. Einstein discussed the
temperature jump
in
his
lectures
on
the kinetic
theory
of heat
at
the
University
of Zurich
in
summer
semester 1910
(see
Vol.
3,
Doc.
4,
[pp.
9-11]).
Einstein
emphasized
the
importance
of
this effect also
in
a paper
witten
on
the occasion
of
Emil
Warburg’s
retirement
as
Director of the
Physikalisch-Tech-
nische Reichsanstalt
(Einstein 1922).
[5]Einstein
played
a
crucial
role in this
development (see
Einstein
1905k
[Vol.
2,
Doc.
16];
see
Vol.
2,
the editorial
note,
“Einstein
on
Brownian
Motion,”
pp.
206-222,
for
more
back-
ground).
[6]See
Smoluchowski
1906;
see
Vol.
2,
the editorial
note,
“Einstein
on
Brownian
Motion,”
pp.
215-217,
for
a
discussion.
[7]See
Smoluchowski 1908. Einstein later
improved
on
Smoluchowski’s
treatment (see
Ein-
stein 1910d
[Vol. 3,
Doc.
9]
and the discussion
in Vol.
3,
the editorial
note,
“Einstein
on
Crit-
ical
Opalescence,” pp.
283-285).
Einstein and Smoluchowki also discussed this
topic
in their
correspondence (see
Einstein
to
Marian
von
Smoluchowski, 27
November
1911
[Vol. 5,
Doc.
315]
and Marian
von
Smoluchowski
to Einstein, 12
December
1911
[Vol. 5,
Doc.
323]).
