born Oct. 9, 1879, Pfaffendorf, near Koblenz, Ger.

German physicist.
He taught at the University of Berlin (1919–43). He was the first to use a
crystal to diffract
X rays, demonstrating that X rays are
electromagnetic radiation similar to light and that the molecular structure of crystals is a regularly repeating arrangement. For his work in crystallography he received a 1914 Nobel Prize. He championed
Albert Einstein's theory of relativity and studied the quantum theory, the
Compton effect, and the disintegration of atoms.
