Main article: Annus Mirabilis Papers
In 1905, while working in the patent office, Einstein published four times in the Annalen der Physik. These are the papers that history has come to call the "Annus Mirabilis Papers":
"On a Heuristic Viewpoint Concerning the Production and Transformation of Light" on the photoelectric effect (completed March 17)
"On the Motion Required by the Molecular Kinetic Theory of Heat of Small Particles Suspended in a Stationary Liquid" on Brownian motion (received by Annalen der Physik May 11)
"On the Electrodynamics of Moving Bodies" on special relativity (received by Annalen der Physik June 30)
"Does the Inertia of a Body Depend Upon Its Energy Content?" on equivalence of matter and energy (received by Annalen der Physik September 27, 1905)[17]
At the age of 26, having studied under Alfred Kleiner, Professor of Experimental Physics, Einstein was awarded a PhD by the University of Zurich. His dissertation was entitled "Eine neue Bestimmung der Moleküldimensionen" ("A new determination of molecular dimensions"); it was completed April 30, 1905 and accepted in July.[18]
