‎First edition of Davisson's paper on electrons and quanta. Together with George Paget Thomson he won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1937 for his discovery of electron diffraction.""The experiments by the author and L. H. Germer, by G. P. Thomson and by others from which the wave properties of electrons are adduced are briefly described. The agreement between the results of these experiments and the prediction of L. de Broglie is pointed out. The wave and corpuscular properties of electrons are compared with the similar properties of light quanta.""(From the introduction to the present paper).Other papers of interest is contained in the present volume:1.
