Extractions: Sir William Henry Bragg (1862-1942) and Sir William Lawrence Bragg (1890-1971), father and son, were intensely interested in the X-ray diffraction work done by von Laue. They used his discovery to study crystal structure and developed the X-ray spectrometer. Their Nobel prize in physics followed von Laue's by a year, in 1915. The Royal Institute of Chemistry stamp shows the crystal structure of salt, as determined by WLB, and used by WHB to determine X-ray wavelengths.

Extractions: William Henry Bragg was a professor of physics and mathematics, and was known for making important contributions to many scientific disciplines. Born in Westward, Cumberland in the United Kingdom on July 2, 1862, Bragg was thoroughly educated while attending Market Harborough Grammar School and King William's College in the Isle of Man. He later went on to study physics at the Cavendish Laboratory, as well as becoming elected to the Professorship of Mathematics and Physics at the University of Adelaide, in Southern Australia. Bragg's career continued to flourish, and he was subsequently appointed Cavendish Professor of Physics at Leeds, Quain Professor of Physics at the University College London, and Fullerian Professor of Chemistry at the Royal Institution. Today, thousands of crystal structures have been determined for a wide spectrum of molecules ranging from simple organic compounds to complex multi-chained proteins and nucleic acids. X-ray diffraction has been a fundamental tool in the sciences of molecular biology and biochemistry for the past 50 years. The contributions made by X-ray diffraction experiments are almost unparalleled by any other single technique. Throughout his career, Bragg was noted for his many contributions to a wide variety of scientific endeavors. He also had a sense of humor and is noted for the following quote on the controversy between the electromagnetic energy wave versus particle theories:

Extractions: Sir William Henry Bragg (2. èervence 1862 12. bøezna 1942) Nobelovu cenu získal v roce 1915 spoleènì se svým synem W. L. Braggem za výzkum struktury krystalù pomocí rentgenových paprskù. Anglický fyzik, matematik a krystalograf sir William Henry Bragg se narodil v roce 1862. Od roku 1881 studoval na Trinity College v Cambridgi a od roku 1885 v Cavendishovì laboratoøi. Po svém pùsobení na univerzitì v jihoaustralském mìstì Adelaide se vrátil zpìt do Anglie a od roku 1915 pracoval jako vedoucí katedry matematiky a fyziky na univerzitì v Londýnì. Zpoèátku se zabýval výzkumy elektronù, pozdìji studoval radioaktivitu a vypracoval nìkolik teorií, které se týkaly schopnosti paprskù alfa pronikat atomy a které experimentálnì za pomoci radia potvrdil. Se svým synem Williamem se spoleènì vìnovali výzkumu struktury krystalù pomocí rentgenového záøení a zde prosluli nìkolika vynikajícími objevy. Navázali na výsledky Laueho a vypracovali experimentální metody mìøení vlnových délek rentgenových paprskù. Proslavili se také jako autoøi tzv. Braggovy rovnice, která se uívá pøi strukturální analýze pomocí rentgenových a elektronových paprskù. Braggovi se podaøilo rentgenografickou Fourierovou analýzou elektronové hustoty zjistit rozdìlení elektronù v rùzných kovech (hliník, støíbro, mìï). Bìhem první svìtové války øídil Bragg výzkum akustické detekce ponorek.

Extractions: William Henry Bragg was born at Westward, Cumberland, on July 2, 1862. He was educated at Market Harborough Grammar School and afterwards at King William's College, Isle of Man. Elected a minor scholar of Trinity College Cambridge , in 1881, he studied mathematics under the well-known teacher, Dr. E. J. Routh. He was Third Wrangler in the Mathematical Tripos, Part I, in June 1884, and was placed in the first class in Part II in the following January. He studied physics in the Cavendish Laboratory during part of 1885, and at the end of that year was elected to the Professorship of Mathematics and Physics in the University of Adelaide , South Australia. Subsequently he became successively Cavendish Professor of Physics at Leeds (1909-1915), Quain Professor of Physics at University College London (1915-1925), and Fullerian Professor of Chemistry in the Royal Institution His research interests embraced a great many topics and he was an adept at picking up a subject, almost casually, making an important contribution, then dropping it again. However, the work of Bragg and his son Lawrence in 1913-1914 founded a new branch of science of the greatest importance and significance, the analysis of crystal structure by means of X-rays. If the fundamental discovery of the wave aspect of X-rays, as evidenced by their diffraction in crystals, was due to von Laue and his collaborators, it is equally true that the use of X-rays as an instrument for the systematic revelation of the way in which crystals are built was entirely due to the Braggs. This was recognized by the award of the

Extractions: Sir William Bragg By courtesy of the Nobelstiftelsen, Stockholm in full SIR WILLIAM HENRY BRAGG (b. July 2, 1862, Wigton, Cumberland, Eng.d. March 12, 1942, London), pioneer British scientist in solid-state physics who was a joint winner (with his son Sir Lawrence Bragg ) of the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1915 for his research on the determination of crystal structures. He was knighted in 1920. William Bragg came on his father's side from a family without academic traditions, mainly yeoman farmers and merchant seamen. His mother was the daughter of the local vicar. Upon her death, when he was barely seven, he went to live with two paternal uncles who had set up a pharmacy and grocery shop in Market Harborough, Leicestershire. There he attended an old school reestablished by one of his uncles. He did well, and in 1875 his father sent him to school at King William College, Isle of Man. At first he found it difficult to adjust himself, but he was good at his lessons and at sports and finally became head boy. During his last year, however, the school was swept by a storm of religious emotionalism. The boys were frightened by the stories of hellfire and eternal damnation, and the experience left a strong mark on Bragg. Later he wrote, "It was a terrible year . . . for many years the Bible was a repelling book, which I shrank from reading." And in a lecture, Science and Faith at Cambridge in 1941, he said, "I am sure that I am not the only one to whom when young the literal interpretation of Biblical texts caused years of acute misery and fear." On the other hand, he attributed his clear, balanced style of writing to his early grounding in the Authorized (King James) Version of the Bible; in

Extractions: Crystallography had not previously been concerned with the internal arrangement of atoms but only with the shape and number of crystal surfaces. The Braggs' work gave a method of determining the positions of atoms in the lattices making up the crystals, and for accurate determination of X-ray wavelengths. This led to an understanding of the ways in which atoms combine with each other and revolutionized mineralogy and later molecular biology, in which X-ray diffraction was crucial to the elucidation of the structure of DNA. Bragg was born in Westward, Cumberland. He obtained a first-class degree in mathematics from Cambridge 1885 and was immediately appointed professor of mathematics and physics at the University of Adelaide, South Australia. In 1909 he returned to the UK as professor at Leeds; from 1915 he was professor at University College, London. Bragg became convinced that X-rays behave as an electromagnetic wave motion. He constructed the first X-ray spectrometer 1913. He and his son used it to determine the structures of various crystals on the basis that X-rays passing through the crystals are diffracted by the regular array of atoms within the crystal.
