BROGLIE, Louis (Victor, duc de) (1892-1987): - La mécanique ondulatoire. 'Memorial des sciences physiques', fasc. 1.

Paris, Gauthier-Villars, 1928, in-4°, 58 p., many hw. notes in German and underlining with pencil, untrimmed copy, original wrappers. ¶ First edition of this paper, an important expansion of the ingenious ideas presented in his earlier publications, notamment 'Recherches sur la théorie des quanta' (1924) and 'Ondes et mouvements' (1926), in which Louis de Broglie introduced his discovery that constitutes the basis for developing the general theory nowadays known by the name of wave mechanics, a theory which has utterly transformed our knowledge of physical phenomena on the atomic scale. For his remarkable contributions to our knowledge of an entirely new aspect of the properties of matter the 1929 Nobel Prize was awarded to De Broglie for the discovery of the wave nature of electrons. The discovery was not only of fundamental importance for our concept of nature. It also gave research an extremely important and serviceable method for investigating the structure of matter, especially as it may be applied with ease to extremely small quantities.
