- French nuclear physicist who generalized the wave-particle duality by proposing that particles of matter exhibit wavelike properties (1892-1987)
How To Use Broglie In A Sentence
- The theory of de Broglie in the form given to it by Schrödinger is now known as wave mechanics and is the basis of atomic physics. G.P. Thomson - Nobel Lecture
- The associated de Broglie wavelength of a probing particle rather than the "macroscopic" wavelength defines the minimum object size that can be resolved. Accelerators and Nobel Laureates
- The doctoral thesis of Louis de Broglie was presented which extended the particle-wave duality for light to all particles, in particular to electrons.
- In the Frick Collection's Vicomtesse Othenin d' Haussonville, née Louise-Albertine de Broglie, the curving shape of the flirtatious vicomtesse forms a kind of delightful question mark.

- It was found that these neutrons, like X-rays, were useful for crystal structure determinations because their associated de Broglie wavelengths also fall in the range of typical interatomic distances in solids. The Nobel Prizes in Physics 1901-2000
- Thus de Broglie supposed that matter might also be related to the frequency of waves.
- So we can use electron diffraction experiments to justify both 1) treating electron as a wave (so we have wavefunction) and 2) p = h-bar k deBroglie relation. Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Quantum Mechanics, But Were Afraid to Ask
- In Letter xlvi. the reproach is not addressed merely to a "religieuse echappe de son cloitre," as De Broglie has it, but to a nun guilty of unchastity. NPNF2-08. Basil: Letters and Select Works
