Max von Laue
Max von Laue (
October 9,
1879 -
April 24,
1960) was a German
physicist, who studied under
Max Planck. From 1919 he was professor of theoretical physics at the University of Berlin. He worked out a method for measuring X-ray wavelengths, in which a crystal (rock salt) is used, producing diffraction of the rays. For this work, which also made possible a closer study of crystal structure, he received the 1914
Nobel Prize in Physics.
