Finding Schrödinger & De Broglie's 1926 Quantum Physics Papers

In summary, Schrödinger wrote six research papers in 1926 presenting the complete mathematical foundation of nonrelativistic quantum mechanics. De Broglie supported his proposal of duality with a proof derived from relativity theory. These original papers and derivations are available on a site that requires payment, but it is recommended to buy de Broglie's book on the topic. This book, "Non-Linear Wave Mechanics: A Causal Interpretation," includes de Broglie's first papers from the period mentioned and is highly recommended.

I have just read that Schrödinger had wrote six research papers ( in 1926) in which he presented the complete mathematical foundation of nonrelativistic quantum mechanics . Also read that De Broglie supported his proposal (the duality) by a proof derived from relativity theory . Are these original papers and derivation available some where on the web ( No matter english or german)

Thank you in advance for any help !

Here, there is a site where you have to pay

But I think it is much better to buy de Broglies book on QM rewritten somewhere in the sixties.

Thank you for help , but I think this is a site to help students in making research papers , but doesn't offer the papers written by scientists.

Upps, seems I was too quick. :blushing: But his book ``non-linear wave mechanics : a causal interpretation'' contains much more than and includes his first papers from the period you were looking for (I have it myself and can recommend it for sure).

That's it ! I'll look for it . Many thanks!
