Matter-Radiation Energy Exchange Treated as Discrete
Einstein's continuing work on radiation treated elementary exchanges between matter and electromagnetic energy as discrete processes rather than continuously divisible transfers.
Planck Radiation Law Reinterpreted with Quanta
Einstein re-examined Planck's radiation theory and emphasized that its success could be understood more naturally if radiation exchanged energy with matter in finite quantum amounts.
Quantized Radiation Emission Reconsidered
Einstein examined how material resonators exchange energy with radiation and strengthened the case that emission as well as absorption must be connected with discrete quantum transfers.
Quantized Resonance Absorption Analysis
Einstein extended his quantum reasoning to resonant interactions between matter and radiation, treating absorption as an energy exchange constrained by discrete radiation quanta.
