William Lawrence Bragg’s work during the war earned him a Military Cross. His work on the X-ray earned him and his father a joint Nobel Prize in Physics, which he was awarded while still in France with the British army, at just 25 years-old. The win was bittersweet for the father-son pair, however.
Dr. M. F. Perutz. Sir Lawrence Bragg, who died on July 1 1971 aged 81, had the unique distinction of having himself created the science to which he devoted his life's work, and lived long enough to experience its revolutionary impact, first on inorganic chemistry and mineralogy, then on metallurgy, and finally on organic chemistry and ...
Sir William Lawrence Bragg, CH, OBE, MC, FRS (31 March 1890 – 1 July 1971) was an Australian-born British physicist and X-ray crystallographer, discoverer (1912) of Bragg's law of X-ray diffraction, which is basic for the determination of crystal structure.
1890-1971. Sir (William) Lawrence Bragg. The Bragg equation (or law) is basic to modern X-ray diffraction, a process used to analyze crystal structures by studying the characteristic patterns of X-rays that deviate from their original paths because of closely spaced atoms in the crystal.
