    Country of Repository: 
    USA
    Biography/History: 
    Physicist (theoretical physics, quantum theory, electromagnetic waves). On physics faculty at Collège de France, 1932-1939, and Harvard University, 1946-1949; general director, French National Broadcasting System, 1939-1940; director of research, Watson Laboratory, International Business Machines Corporation, 1949-1954.
    Scope of Material: 
    Reprints, miscellaneous notes, manuscripts, typescripts, correspondence, manuscript autobiography. The papers of Leon Brillouin primarily cover the period after he came to the United States, (1941-1968). Most of the correspondence is incoming, international in scope, and includes among the signatures those of Niels Bohr, Felix Bloch, Max Born, John Carstoiu, D. G. Magiros, P. P. Ewald, A. D. Fokker, Charles Manneback, Leon Rosenfeld, Albert Szent-Gyorgyi, Erwin Schrodinger, Eugene Wigner. The manuscript files often include his notes, corrections, informational materials, and sometimes correspondence related to his topic. They relate to Brillouin's most important post WW II research such as Brillouin scattering, relativity, and information theory. One such manuscript is that of "Relativity Reexamined." There are also reprints of Billouin's articles (1921-1967) on such subjects as quantum theory, particle physics, Brillouin scattering and information theory. The great majority of the remaining reprints included are those of Brillouin's colleagues doing work in his fields of interest--quantum theory, gravitation, nuclear and particle physics, atomic clocks, etc. Also included is Brillouin's undated (ca. 1911) student notebook of lectures by Paul Langevin in which he gives details of relativity theory shortly before Einstein published his work. The manuscript autobiography was written at the request of the American Institute of Physics Project on the History of Recent Physics.
    Provenance: 
    Gift and bequest of Brillouin's widow, Marcelle Brillouin, and his daughter, Bella Boris, 1969, 1970, and 1987.
    Notes: 
    This collection includes papers of both Brillouin's father, Marcel Brillouin, and his maternal grandfather, Eleuthère Mascart, cataloged separately.
    Chiefly in French and English, with several of the reprints in Italian, Russian, and German.
