Davisson, Clinton Joseph (1881–1954)


Clinton Davisson
American physicist who shared the 1937 Nobel Prize in Physics with George P. Thomson for his demonstration of the diffraction of electrons (see Davisson and Germer experiment). This confirmed Louis de Broglie's view that matter might act in a wavelike manner in appropriate circumstances (see de Broglie and matter waves).
