"BROGLIE (DEBROGLIE), LOUIS de. - COINING THE TERMS 'ANTIPARTICLE' AND 'ANTINEUTRINO'.
Reference : 48952
(1934)
Sur la nature de photon.
(Paris, Gauthier-Villars), 1934. 4to. No wrappers. In: ""Comptes Rendus hebdomadaires des Séances de L'Academie des Sciences"", tome 198, No 2. Pp. (129-) 212. (Entire issue offered). De Broglie's paper: pp. 135-138. A stamp to the first page. Disbound.
First apperance of de Broglie's importent paper on antiparticles and the Neutrino of light. The antiparticle having the same mass as another but opposite values for its other properties.""In a communication dated January 8, 1934 (the paper offered)... de broglie stated that this new particle is an 'antiparticle which is related to (the neutrino) like the positive electron to the negative electron in the whole theory of Dirac'. In this note the terms 'antiparticle' and 'antineutrino' enter physics for the first time.""(Pais in ""Inward Bound"", p. 418).

The important Nature-printing - a summary of his three papers published in ""Comptes rendus"" the same year - of De Broglie's landmark discovery of the wave nature of matter. ""In order to reach an audience wider than the limited readership of the Comptes rendus, de Broglie arranged the publication of a summary of his results in Nature(October 1923)."" (DSB).His discovery established a new era in physics by introducing the epochal new principle that particle-wave duality should apply not only to radiation but also to matter and thus creating quantum mechanics. It was extended to form his doctoral thesis of 1924 ""Recherches sur la Théorie des Quanta.""De Broglie relates ""After long reflection in solitude and meditation, I suddenly had the idea, during the year 1923, that the discovery made by Einstein in 1905 should be generalized by extending it to all material particles and notably to electrons"" (Preface to his PhD thesis 1924).""He made the leap in his September 10, 1923, paper: E=hv should hold not only for photons but also for electrons, to which he assigns a 'fictitious associated wave'. In his September 24 paper, he indicated the direction in which one 'should seek experimental confirmations of our ideas': a stream of electrons traversing an aperture whose dimensions are small compared with the wavelenght of the electron waves 'should show diffraction phenomena' .""(Pais ""Subtle is the Lord"", pp. 425-436).In the third paper (October 8) he discusses ""The interplay between the propagation of the particle and of the waves could be expressed in more formal terms as an identity between the fundamental variational principles of Pierre de Fermat (rays), and Pierre Louis Maupertuis (particles) as de Broglie discussed it further in his last communication . Therein he also considered some thermodynamic consequences of his generalized wave-particle duality. He showed in particular how one could, using Lord Rayleigh's 1900 formula for the number of stationary modes for phase waves, obtain Planck's division of the mechanical phase space into quantum cells.Louis de Broglie achieved a worldwide reputation for his discovery of the wave theory of matter, for which he received the Nobel Prize for physics in 1929. His work was extended into a full-fledged wave mechanics by Erwin Schrödinger and thus contributed to the creation of quantum mechanics. After an early attempt to propose a deterministic interpretation of his theory, de Broglie joined the Copenhagen school's mainstream noncausal interpretation of the quantum theory.""(DSB).""This idea [i.e. de Broglie's that matter might behave as waves] was tested and confirmed by Davisson and Germer in 1927... Thus the duality of both light and matter had been established, and physicists had to come to terms with fundamental particles which defied simple theories and demanded two sets of 'complementary' descriptions, each applicable under certain circumstances, but incompatible with one another.""

First printing of de Broglie's important work on nonlinear wave mechanics. ""The early 1950s again witnessed a major change in de Broglie’s views. Impressed by the nonlocal theory put forth by David Bohm in 1951, which reintroduced pilot-waves, de Broglie turned back to his first theoretical convictions. Surrounded by some faithful followers, de Broglie resumed his quest for a causal interpretation, this time supplementing his initial views with the idea of nonlinear dynamics for the singular wave. This was, however, increasingly perceived as a marginal research program, even in his own country, where quantum theoreticians preferred to stick to more mainstream physics, less fundamental and closer to the wealth of new experimental data emerging in the 1950s.""

La mécanique ondulatoire. ‘Memorial des sciences physiques’, fasc. 1.
Paris, Gauthier-Villars, 1928, in-4°, 58 p., many hw. notes in German and underlining with pencil, untrimmed copy, original wrappers.
First edition of this paper, an important expansion of the ingenious ideas presented in his earlier publications, notamment «Recherches sur la théorie des quanta» (1924) and «Ondes et mouvements» (1926), in which Louis de Broglie introduced his discovery that constitutes the basis for developing the general theory nowadays known by the name of wave mechanics, a theory which has utterly transformed our knowledge of physical phenomena on the atomic scale.For his remarkable contributions to our knowledge of an entirely new aspect of the properties of matter the 1929 Nobel Prize was awarded to De Broglie for the discovery of the wave nature of electrons. The discovery was not only of fundamental importance for our concept of nature. It also gave research an extremely important and serviceable method for investigating the structure of matter, especially as it may be applied with ease to extremely small quantities.

Une nouvelle conception de la lumière. ‘Actualités scientifiques et industrielles’, 181, Exposés de physique théorique, 13.
Paris, Hermann, 1934, in-4°, 48 p., brochure originale.
Première édition. Le duc Louis Victor de Broglie, physicien français, posa les bases de la mécanique ondulatoire. Ce savant réalisa une véritable synthèse de la matière et du rayonnement. Dans cet exposé l'auteur résume la tentative qu'il avait poursuivie depuis quelque temps en vue de constituer une théorie nouvelle du photon et du champ électromagnétique de la lumière. Les idées qu'elle suggère et les analogie qu'elle fait apercevoir sont très intéressantes.
