The discovery of X-ray diffraction by crystals (1980)

unapi

Description An account of the crucial crystallographic experiment suggested by Max von Laue and performed by Friedrich and Knipping in Munich in 1912, including a brief critique of Paul Forman's 1969 paper “The discovery of the diffraction of X-rays by crystals: A critique of the myth”, and P. P. Ewald's response to it. (G. B. KAUFFMAN)
