Joaquim da Costa Ribeiro
Joaquim da Costa Ribeiro, Brazilian physicist (Rio de Janeiro 08 July 1906 – Rio de Janeiro 29 July 1960) ACHIEVEMENTS Discovered thermo-dielectric effect or Costa Ribeiro effect in 1944. The discovery was presented in session of 14 November 1944 at Brazilian Academy of Sciences and published in On the thermo-dielectric effect. Anais Acad. Bras. Ciencias 22(3):325-348, 1950. Despite the priority US physicists E.J. Workman and S.E. Reynolds discovered the same phenomenon in 1950, that was known as Workman-Reynolds effect in literature. Established laws about thermo-dielectric effect (Law of intensities and law of charges) in Sobre o fenômeno termo-dielétrico. Thesis (1945) Developed the thermo-dielectrical cell in Sobre o fenômeno termo-dielétrico. Thesis (1945) Formulated equations about thermo-dielectric effect (1945) with J. Tiomno Defined thermo-dielectric constant Discovered electro-fusion (later studied by Mascarenhas de Oliveira as Electrothermal conductivity effect) Electro-fusion: a new phenomenon observed in the phase changes of dielectrics under the influence of an electric field. Anais Acad. Bras. Ciencias 26(2):349-55, 1954. Conceived a new bridge method for performing radioactivity measurements Sobre um método de ponte para a determinação das correntes de ionização nas medidas de radioatividade. Anais Acad. Bras. Ciencias 12(2):110-6, 1940. On a bridge for the measurements of cosmic rays with ionization chambers Developed a new type of autocollimator polarizing apparatus With Luigi Sobrero.
