In his 1924 thesis, he discovered the wave nature of electrons and suggested that all matter have wave properties. He is an honorary doctor of the Universities of Warsaw, Bucharest, Athens, Lausanne, Quebec, and Brussels, and a member of eighteen foreign academies in Europe, India, and the U.S.A.
Louis de Broglie, fils de Victor de Broglie (1846-1906), est issu de la maison de Broglie. Louis de Broglie, in full Louis-Victor-Pierre-Raymond, 7 e duc de Broglie, (born August 15, 1892, Dieppe, France—died March 19, 1987, Louveciennes), French physicist best known for his research on quantum theory and for predicting the wave nature of electrons.He was awarded the 1929 Nobel Prize for Physics..
The incumbent of the chair of theoretical physics at the Faculty of Sciences at the University of Paris since 1932, Louis de Broglie runs a course on a different subject each year at the Institut Henri Poincaré, and several of these courses have been published.
Between 1930 and 1950, Louis de Broglie’s work has been chiefly devoted to the study of the various extensions of wave mechanics: Dirac’s electron theory, the new theory of light, the general theory of spin particles, applications of wave mechanics to nuclear physics, etc. Louis-Victor de Broglie, a French physicist, proposed in his 1923 doctoral thesis that all matter and radiations have both particle- and wavelike characteristics.

Louis de Broglie. Since 1951, together with young colleagues, Louis de Broglie has resumed the study of an attempt which he made in 1927 under the name of the After crowning Louis de Broglie’s work on two occasions, the Academie des Sciences awarded him in 1929 the Henri Poincaré medal (awarded for the first time), then in 1932, the Albert I of Monaco prize.
Por su parte, Louis de Broglie centró su atención en la física teórica, en particular en aquellos aspectos a los que se refirió con el nombre de «misterios» de la física atómica, o sea, a problemas conceptuales no resueltos en aquel entonces por la ciencia. Louis de Broglie (1892-1987) In the early twentieth century, the long standing argument about whether the character of light was particle-based or wavelike was finally coming to an end as the scientists of the day began to accept that light could assume a dual nature.

Many French and foreign students have come to work with him and a great deal of doctorate theses have been prepared under his guidance. In this way the Austrian physicist After receiving his doctorate, de Broglie remained at the Sorbonne, becoming in 1928 professor of theoretical physics at the newly founded Henri Poincaré Institute, where he taught until his retirement in 1962.

À ce titre, il compte d'illustres ancêtres dont Jacques Necker et sa fille Germaine de Staël.Comme tous les membres cadets mâles de cette famille, il porte d'abord le titre de prince de Broglie et c'est sous ce titre qu'il sera connu durant la plus grande partie de sa carrière. He has been a member of the Bureau des Longitudes since 1944.
