Scope and content
Ms. notes in which Thomson describes his classic electron diffraction experiment.
n.d. but probably for meeting at Glasgow, September 1928, at which de Broglie and Davisson were also present (see Moon, Biographical Memoirs of Fellows of the Royal Society, 23, 1977, p.538).
Includes press-cuttings of Davisson's and Thomson's contributions, and of a note by Thomson `The Disintegration of Radium E from the Point of View of Wave Mechanics' (Nature, 121, 615-6).
