E.g. list of papers by Isidor Isaac Rabi which includes A New Method of Measuring Nuclear Magnetic Moment.
neurotree.org/neurotree/faq.php explains that you have to contact an admin to download the database, kind of sad:
That page also explains how they disambiguate authors with the same name:
How do you identify researchers' publications?Publications data are drawn from two databases: Medline and Scopus. Because of the large number of researchers with the same name, a disambiguation algorithm is required to accurately link researchers to papers they have authored. We match authors to papers using a two-step process. First, we identify candidate publications based on a simple string match between researcher name and the author list. Second, we look for overlap between co-authors and other individuals in the researcher's mentor network (trainees, mentors, collaborators, etc), and label publications with overlap as high-probability matches. Thus a complete family tree is likely to produce more accurate publication matches.
