• Notes

  6th duc de Broglie Having graduated from naval officer's school, Maurice de Broglie spent nine years in the French Navy , serving on a gunboat at Bizerte and in the Mediterranean Squadron. While serving, he became interested in physics, and began doing research on electromagnetism . Broglie defied his family's wishes and left the navy in 1904 to pursue a scientific career. He studied under Paul Langevin at the Collège de France in Paris , receiving his doctorate in 1908 . Broglie made advances in the study of X-ray diffraction and spectroscopy . During the First World War , he worked on radio communications for the navy. After the war, he resumed his research at a large laboratory in his home. He occasionally collaborated with his younger brother Louis , who followed his professional lead and was training as a physicist, and they coauthored a paper in 1921 . After Louis de Broglie's rise to prominence in the 1920s , building on some of their shared research, the elder Broglie physicist continued his own research. While Louis was primarily a theoretician, Maurice himself was always the experimental physicist par excellence. He became a member of the Académie des sciences in 1924 , and in 1934 was elected to the Académie française , replacing the historian Pierre de La Gorce . In 1942 he succeeded his mentor, assuming Langevin's chair in physics at the Collège de France. He was also elected to the Royal Society of London on 23 May 1940 , having received the Royal Society's Hughes Medal in 1928 .
