Bragg Notebook

The Library has made available online the notebook in which the Braggs recorded the results of their groundbreaking experiments on the nature of X-ray spectra and the principles of crystal analysis for which they were awarded the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1915.

The website at http://www.leeds.ac.uk/library/spcoll/bragg-notebook/ makes available the notebook, a commentary written by Chris Hammond, (Institute for Materials Research at the University of Leeds) explaining the contents of the notebook and the relationship between the results noted in the notebook and the published papers of the Braggs. Photographs of the equipment of the type used by the Braggs are included within the commentary. The Library’s repository of digital images, LUDOS, has been used to store the digitised images.
