Finding de Broglie's Original Paper on Matter Waves

In summary, the conversation discusses the difficulty of finding Louis de Broglie's original paper on matter waves on the internet. The speaker suggests using a specific search method and mentions a repository called HAL. They also share a Dutch expression for something easy, and ask for a French equivalent.

Easy find !

You could also do this yourself:
1. Google broglie matter wave
2. click ref 6
3. click ref 1 (1923) -- no joy. click ref 2. (the 1927 one, then )
Aha ! HAL is the repository.
4. Click Search -- Louis de broglie -- advanced search -- search field author full name -- bingo

Dutch expression: a child can do the laundry. English 'equivalent': a piece of cake. French ? sais pasOr are you referring to another article ?

1. What is de Broglie's original paper on matter waves?

De Broglie's original paper, titled "Research on the Theory of Quanta," was published in 1924 and proposed the idea of matter waves, which stated that particles, such as electrons, have wave-like properties.

2. Why is de Broglie's paper important?

De Broglie's paper was a major contribution to the development of quantum mechanics and helped establish the concept of wave-particle duality.

3. Where can I find de Broglie's original paper on matter waves?

De Broglie's original paper can be found in various scientific journals and online databases, such as the American Physical Society's Physical Review journal or the European Physical Journal's online archives.

4. How did de Broglie come up with the idea of matter waves?

De Broglie was inspired by the work of Einstein and Planck, who had proposed that light could exhibit both wave-like and particle-like properties. He extended this concept to all particles and developed a mathematical equation to describe the wavelength of matter waves.

5. What impact did de Broglie's paper have on the scientific community?

De Broglie's paper sparked a new wave of research and experimentation in the field of quantum mechanics, leading to further discoveries and advancements in our understanding of the behavior of particles at the atomic level. It also helped pave the way for the development of important theories, such as Schrödinger's wave equation and Heisenberg's uncertainty principle.
