    Portrait of William Lawrence Bragg taken when he was around 40 years old. Sir William Lawrence Bragg (31 March 1890 – 1 July 1971), known as Lawrence Bragg, 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.

  3. Bragg's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bragg's_law

    According to the 2θ deviation, the phase shift causes constructive (left figure) or destructive (right figure) interferences. Lawrence Bragg explained this result by modeling the crystal as a set of discrete parallel planes separated by a constant parameter d. He proposed that the incident X-ray radiation would produce a Bragg peak if ...

  6. Bragg–Gray cavity theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bragg–Gray_cavity_theory

    Bragg–Gray cavity theory relates the radiation dose in a cavity volume of material to the dose that would exist in a surrounding medium in the absence of the cavity volume. It was developed in 1936 by British scientists Louis Harold Gray , William Henry Bragg , and William Lawrence Bragg .

    Crick and Watson then sought permission from Cavendish Laboratory head William Lawrence Bragg, to publish their double-helix molecular model of DNA based on data from Franklin and Wilkins. By November 1951, Watson had acquired little training in X-ray crystallography, by his own admission, and thus had not fully understood what Franklin was ...
