  SUBJECT: Theory of Superconductivity

  I think that it might be well worthwhile to carry out an attack on the problem of superconductivity by the use of the procedure described by me in my 1949 paper in the Proceedings of the Royal Society of London (196, 343).

  In this paper I formulated a wave equation for metals and intermetallic compounds involving the motions of pairs of electrons from one site to another in the crystal. these pairs of electrons are, I think, what have recently been called Cooper pairs.

  I believe that work along these lines could lead to a more detailed correlation of the superconductivity properties of substances with their other properties, such as crystal structure and bond numbers, than has been provided by the existing theories.

  If someone were available who had a reasonably good grasp of quantum mechanics and an interest in work of this sort, I would be pleased to collaborate with him in this attack on the problem of superconductivity.

  SUBJECT: Proposed Investigation of Tin-mercury Alloys

  There are some simple crystal structures that I think are of special significance to the theory of superconductivity. I suggest the following investigation, in this connection.

  Tin containing a small amount of mercury (between about 1% and 10%, atomic percent, mercury) has an unusual structure. The unit of structure is hexagonal, containing only one atom. Each atom is surrounded by six other atoms in the basal plane, at the same distance, and by two atoms on opposite sides along the directions of the hexagonal axis. The six bonds in the basal plane have lengths about 3.21 Å, corresponding to quarter bonds, and the other two have lengths about 3.00 Å, corresponding to half bonds.

  I think that this structure is favorable to superconductivity, in the direction of the C axis.

  Would it be possible for you to have alloys with a range of composition made and tested for superconductivity?

  I note that white tin is a superconductor, with transition temperature 3.72º K. Rhombohedral mercury has transition temperature reported as 4.15º K, and tetragonal mercury 3.95º K.

  There is the possibility that these alloys have already been studied as to their superconductivity. I note that Roberts in the American Institute of Physics Handbook lists HgSn as having critical 4.20º K. The structure is not given, and the reference is to Kamerlingh Onnes, 1913-1914

  When I started this note to you I had not known that you had studied the indium-tin system, although I remembered that there was an indium-tin phase with simple hexagonal structure. I have now seen your 1961 paper in the Journal of Chemical Physics. I cannot be sure what the facts are, from reading your paper. The critical temperature 5º for 80 atomic percent tin may apply to the gamma phase. I do not know why there is a dashed line between the experimental points at 50 atomic percent tin and 80 atomic percent tin, and the solid line from 80 to 100 percent atomic percent tin.

  I predict that below the critical temperature these simple hexagonal phases would show a superstructure line corresponding to the basal plane, with spacing about 12 Å, that is four times the C-axis length above the critical temperature.

  Dear Peter:

  I trust that you received my letter, saying that mama and I would not be coming to Europe now, and accordingly would not see you on 15 October.

  About ten days ago mama hurt her back, probably trying to lift a big rock or a tree or something. She was in bed for several days, and then felt well enough, after receiving some medicine, for us to drive from the ranch to La Jolla, in two stages, on successive days. Since then she has seemed to be improving steadily, but is not in shape to spend long hours sitting up in an airplane seat, and would not be able to do very much if we were to travel. Accordingly, I am going to give my Expo 67 lecture in Montreal, and then come back home to La Jolla.

  Is there the possibility that you would come over to visit us, perhaps at Christmas? I think that mama and I shall spend a good bit of December at the ranch. During the first half of December I am giving some lectures at UCLA.

  Much love from,

  (Signed by Dr. Pauling's Secretary in his absence)

  Dear Peter,

  I have been full of grief and disappointment for the past week but I was unable to go with the Daddy when he left last Thursday. If he had let me meet him in Toronto and flown on as we intended then it would have worked. However, he was less and less eager to make this trip because of being so excited about his appointment and work here so he was really glad to have such a valid reason present itself. He rushed off and sent those cables without saying anything to me*.

  Of course, he minded not going, too – seeing you, the trip to Poland, and Montpellier is so fine.

  I’d gotten a box of things ready for you including your Indian headdress!

  Perhaps we should reconsider the decision about your coming home for a short time – not a trip to the stars but a renewal of one’s roots by putting one’s feet back in the earth of one’s homeland.

  [...] I was afraid you’d regret that house but I’m sure that it is better for the children to remain there and less traumatic for them. You have a definite cutoff date do you not?

  There are good combination freezer and refrigerators now. Shall I buy one for you? Can’t you hire someone to see to your laundry, etc? Did the Daddy send your [?] money? I’ll send some if he didn’t but you must take care that you aren’t tricked out of it. Why don’t you consider coming back to the U.S.? Still it is so dreadful here now and dozens of young men are emigrating to Canada every day now.

  They have set up committees of and for them in Canada. I’ll write more later. The Daddy is home on Saturday.

  XXXXXXXX Love

  Mama

  P.S. You should be here right now enjoying the sun and hot sand and watching the hundreds of surf board riders! They are at it from dawn until night! It is very beautiful here.

  October 16, 1967

  Miss Bridget Fox

  30 Grover Lane

  East Northport

  New York 11731

  Dear Miss Fox:

  I share the concern that you express in your letter of 6 October to me.

  I am very strongly opposed to the war in Vietnam. I think that it is an immoral and evil war, and that every American should be ashamed of his country and his national leaders.

  You ask why so many thousands of young men are being drafted and immediately sent over to Vietnam and why the reserves are not called to active duty.

  The answer is that it is not politically expedient for the reserves to be called to active duty. The members of the reserves are, as you point out, trained soldiers, who have enlisted into the service. It would be much more in accordance with the spirit of free enterprise for these men to be fighting the war in Vietnam than for young men to be drafted, mainly against their will, and forced to go to Vietnam to murder other young men, as well as women, old people, and children.

  However, the members of the reserves are much more important and politically powerful than the immature young men who are being drafted. they would almost certainly raise objections to being sent off, with a large possibility of being killed or seriously injured in Vietnam.

  Moreover, President Johnson is supervising an unconstitutional war. By political trickery he has succeeded in getting the country deeply involved in a terrible war without ever having allowed the Congress of the United States to debate the question about whether or not war should be declared. Article VIII of the Constitution states that Congress has the power to declare war. President Johnson has been subverting the Constitution, and continues to do so. If he were to ask Congress to call the reserves to active duty, the debate would no doubt take place, and he is not willing to have this important matter debated in Congress.

  Sincerely,

  Linus Pauling

  Orbitals for Prolate Distortion

  Linus Pauling

  23 October 1967

  In my 1965 Science paper I pointed out that the local environment around spherons seems to be important.

  I suggest that an analysis be made of the relation between orbitals describing the local environment and orbitals describing the entire structure, related to the center of mass. Can a simple derivation of teh Nilsson orbital be carried out in this way?

  Proposed Research on Bond Orbitals

  Linus Pauling

  23 October 1967

  The equation for best hybrid orbitals, as defined in my 1931 paper, was derived in this paper. the angles of the nodal cones have special significance, in that an additional best bond orbital can be formed at the nodal cones, orthogonal to the first.

  There is the possibility that a general equation for the nodal-cone angles could be derived. John Blethen has evaluated the angles for spdf hybrid orbitals by solution of a cubic equation.

  If a general solution cannot be derived, a computer might be used to determine the values for the best orbitals with g, h, i, and perhaps several other subshell orbitals included in the hybrid orbital.

  It is clear that the first nodal cone for spd hybrids can be approximated by five nearly best bond orbitals, and the second nodal cone by three. In general, the last nodal cone seems to approximate the angle that would permit three best bond orbitals to be produced, the smallest nodal angle between them.

  One problem to be attacked is that of finding the best set of bond orbitals of the sort one, five, three: that is, with a ring of ive at approximately the first nodal-cone angle for the best spd hybrid, 73º, and a ring of three at the second nodal-cone angle, 133º.

  A similar study of spdf orbitals and still more complicated ones might lead to the assignment of the numbers of equivalent bond orbitals in the successive rings.

  The foregoing argument for the spd hybrid orbitals provides support of the assignment of spherons to rings for prolate nuclear cores, as described in my science paper for 1965.

  Dear Petie,

  I hope all is well with you. Have you gotten some new clothes at Carnaby’s or some mad place?

  The papa came back feeling fit and I think he really likes being back in the University atmosphere.

  Do you still like the New Yorker? I’ve gotten so disgruntled with it that I no longer want to give it as a Christmas present except to those who really still enjoy it. Are you among such people? It has deteriorated certainly from what it was 25 years ago. Perhaps everything has.

  Best love to you. Perhaps Crellin and Linda and families will come here for Thanksgiving.

  The beach is a beautiful one with very fine white sand.

  Today is so foggy that we can scarcely see the ocean right in front of us.

  Hugs and Kisses,

  Mama

  U.S.A.

  Dear Parents:

  Thank you very much for your letters which I am pleased to receive. I was very disappointed that you did not come to Europe. I wanted very much to see you and to get some advice. I will have to proceed without the advice.

  Thank you also very much for the money. I should like to organize my affairs at my advanced age not to have to ask you for money but I think after I have paid the standing costs of the house and paid Julia enough to live on (including her income and the rent from the flat) I will not really have enough to live on.

  I am planning to move into a College flat in Nevern Square about Christmas time. What I really want is a College flat in Hornton Street in Kensington but there is none available and by moving into Nevern Square I have first refusal on a Hornton Street flat. Horton Street is about five minutes from Thomas’s school, about ten from Sara's and about fifteen from Lansdowne Road (walking.) I lived there for five weeks during the summer. They are unfurnished so I shall have to get the essentials.

  You must not get a combined fridge and freezer in the States. You can get these things here, not so advanced and sometimes not as cheaply but the bother of shipping and import duty and everything makes it out of the question. I will get these things as they become essential or I think they will make a real difference to my ability to cope. I may ring up the Scientific Attaché and see if I can get some second-hand American stuff from people who are leaving. The point about a freezer is I do not have to go shopping so often and that of a washer and dryer is that I do not have to slog out to the bloody launderette and sit around for hours while the stuff washes and in particular dries which takes a long time. I hate it.

  My diffractometer will come soon. The rest of the system works well and the control programs are almost completely ready. I am very anxious for the diffractometer to come and for the system to run. I want to use it. It is very exciting after these many years.

  I went to Birkbeck on Friday and at tea Alan Mackay (a senior lecturer and a very bright intellectual dilettante) just asked me if I was going to be their next professor. I said I did not know. It is both a pleasant and frightening thought. I do not know what Bernal would say about it. I guess I shall have a try but I do not think I will get it. It is the only chair of crystallography in the country.

  Thank you for the invitation to come home for Christmas. I still do not know. I know it would be terribly pleasant and give me a boost but I would rather be feeling in top form and enjoy the trip to the utmost rather than use it to get me from a low state up to a reasonable state. I am not sure what Julia plans to do with the children except she said she thought it was her turn not to have to make Christmas dinner.

  I guess I shall go ahead and let Julia and the children live in Lansdowne Road. I feel I am abandoning the children. [...]

  Thank you for everything. I am pleased I have you as my parents.

  Much Love,

  Peter
