The discovery by Max von Laue in 1912 of interference effects demonstrated the wave-like nature of X-rays and the atomic lattice structure of crystals. This major advance for research on solids earned him the Nobel Prize two years later, the ultimate acclaim as an exceptional theoretician. As an early supporter of Einsteins relativity theory, he published fundamental papers on light scattering as well as on matter waves and superconductivity. Laue may be counted among the few persons of influence in Germany who as Einstein put it managed to "stay morally upright" under Nazism. It is thus surprising that this is the first extensive biography of this famous scientist. Jost Lemmerich could hardly have been better equipped to describe German physics and physicists in the 1920s. His copiously illustrated historical account is based as much on scientific material as on private correspondence, creating a fascinating and convincingly detailed portrait. 001446554 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed May 16, 2022). 001446554 60010 $$aLaue, Max von,$$d1879-1960. 001446554 650_0 $$aPhysicists$$zGermany$$vBiography. 001446554 655_7 $$aBiographies.$$2fast$$0(OCoLC)fst01919896 001446554 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001446554 77608 $$iPrint version:$$z3030946983$$z9783030946982$$w(OCoLC)1289919447 001446554 830_0 $$aSpringer biographies,$$x2365-0621 001446554 852__ $$bebk 001446554 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-030-94699-9$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001446554 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1446554$$pGLOBAL_SET 001446554 980__ $$aBIB 001446554 980__ $$aEBOOK 001446554 982__ $$aEbook 001446554 983__ $$aOnline 001446554 994__ $$a92$$bISE
