Peter Joseph William Debye = Petrus Josephus Wilhelmus Debye (1884 1966). 

Debye, Petrus (Peter) Josephus Wilhelmus (1884-1966) was born in the Netherlands and became a naturalized American citizen in 1946. In 1912 he proposed the idea of quantized elastic waves, called phonons. From 1940 to 1952 Debye was Professor of Chemistry at Cornell University. He won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1936.

Petrus (Peter) Josephus Wilhelmus Debye (1884-1966). .. was a Dutch physicist and physical chemist, who worked in the fields of quantum physics, X-ray analysis, microwave spectroscopy, and electrochemistry. Colloid science benefits from his contribution to X-ray and light scattering (in particular for aggregates— Eq. (4.39)— and concentrated suspensions—Eq. (2.24)), his work on electrolyte solutions (Debye-Hiickel theory), as well as his remarks to electrophoresis and his research on polymers. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1936 for his work on molecular structure through his investigations on dipole moments and the diffraction of X-rays and electrons in gases .
