Matter wave behavior

A class of partial differential equations first proposed by Erwin Schrodinger in 1926 to account for the so-called quantized wave behavior of molecules, atoms, nuclei, and electrons. Solutions to the Schrodinger equation are wave functions based on Louis de Broglie s proposal in 1924 that all matter has a dual nature, having properties of both particles and waves. These solutions are... 

THE WAVE BEHAVIOR OF MATTER We recognize that matter also has wave-like properties. As a result, it is impossible to determine simultaneously the exact position and the exact momentum of an electron in an atom (Heisenberg s uncertainty principle). 

WAVE BEHAVIOR OF MATTER (SECTION 6.4) De Broglie proposed that matter, such as electrons, should exhibit wave-like properties. This hypothesis of matter waves was proved experimentally by observing the diffraction of electrons. An object has a characteristic wavelength that depends on its momentum, mv A = h/mv.

The underlying principle of RHEED is that particles of matter have a wave character. This idea was postulated by de Broglie in (1924). He argued that since photons behave as particles, then particles should exhibit wavelike behavior as well. He predicted that a particle s wavelength is Planck s constant h divided by its momentum. The postulate was confirmed by Davisson and Germer s experiments in 1928, which demonstrated the diffraction of low-energy electrons from Ni. ...
