Laue, Max (Theodor Felix) von

Laue, Max (Theodor Felix) von
born Oct. 9, 1879, Pfaffendorf, near Koblenz, Ger.
died April 23, 1960, Berlin, W.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.
