Popis: During my visit to Cambridge last year I was given the opportunity of carrying out in the Cavendish Laboratory some experiments with a view to studying the reflection of atoms from a solid surface. For this purpose the atoms of radioactive substances offer the advantage of extreme sensitivity and also the possibility of quantitative measurements by means of their radiations. While the main object of the experiments could not be achieved, some phenomena have been observed which seem to deserve brief mention.
