Max von Laue
max von Laue (October 9th 1879 close to Coblentz - April 24th 1960 with Berlin) was a German Physicien , which obtained the Nobel Prize of physics in 1914.
He studied under the direction of max Planck. Starting from 1919, he was professor of theoretical physics to the Université of Berlin. He invented a method of measurement wavelengths of the x-rays, in which a crystal (for example of salt) is used to produce a Diffraction. For this work, which also allowed a detailed study of the structure of the crystals, it received the Nobel Prize of physique. Its discovery is at the origin of all the methods of analysis by diffraction, using Neutron S, of x-rays, electron S or the light Synchrotron. The Institut Laue-Langevin with Grenoble is a Nuclear reactor which produces and exploits beams of neutrons.
Anecdote
During the invasion of Denmark by Germany during the Second world war, the Hungarian chemist George de Hevesy dissolut with Eau levels the gold Nobel Prize of max von Laue and James Franck in order to avoid his flight by the Nazis. He kept the solution obtained on a rack of his laboratory at the institute Niels Bohr which he recovered After the war. He caused the precipitation of gold and the company of the Nobel Prize could redesign the price starting from original gold.
