Arthur Lindo Patterson rays with solids. From 1924 to 1926 he worked in London in the laboratory of W. H. Bragg, where he learnt the art of crystal structure analysis. In 1926 Patterson moved to the Kaiser-Wilhelm-institut of Fibrous Materials Chemistry in Berlin-Dahlem, where he worked on the X-ray crystallography of cellulose fibres. In Berlin he had the fortune to meet the scientific elite of the time, which included Max von Laue, Albert Einstein, Max Planck, Walther Nernst, Hans Bethe, Otto Hahn, Lise Meitner and Peter Pringsheim. In 1927 he returned to McGill, finishing his work for the Ph.D. degree in 1928. From
Bragg plane same magnitude, we can restate the Von Laue formulation as requiring that the tip of incident wave vector, formula_3, must lie in the plane that is a perpendicular bisector of the reciprocal lattice vector, formula_1. This reciprocal space plane is the "Bragg plane". Bragg plane In physics, a Bragg plane is a plane in reciprocal space which bisects a reciprocal lattice vector, formula_1, at right angles. The Bragg plane is defined as part of the Von Laue condition for diffraction peaks in x-ray diffraction crystallography. Considering the adjacent diagram, the arriving x-ray plane wave is defined by: Where formula_3 is
