Finding Schrödinger & De Broglie's 1926 Quantum Physics Papers

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!
 
Not an expert in QM. AFAIK, Schrödinger's equation is quite different from the classical wave equation. The former is an equation for the dynamics of the state of a (quantum?) system, the latter is an equation for the dynamics of a (classical) degree of freedom. As a matter of fact, Schrödinger's equation is first order in time derivatives, while the classical wave equation is second order. But, AFAIK, Schrödinger's equation is a wave equation; only its interpretation makes it non-classical...

Is it possible, and fruitful, to use certain conceptual and technical tools from effective field theory (coarse-graining/integrating-out, power-counting, matching, RG) to think about the relationship between the fundamental (quantum) and the emergent (classical), both to account for the quasi-autonomy of the classical level and to quantify residual quantum corrections? By “emergent,” I mean the following: after integrating out fast/irrelevant quantum degrees of freedom (high-energy modes...
