Langevin and Einstein discussed
Langevin X-ray Properties of ions in gas, kinetic theory of gas molecules, magnetic theory and relativity He is famous for his work.
Langevin Paramagnetism and Diamagnetism He proposed to use modern atom To explain these phenomena. His most famous research is the application of ultraviolet rays using Pierre Curie's piezoelectric effect. the First World War During this period, in order to detect submarines quartz He began to use sound waves to detect submarines and determine their positions based on their echoes. But when the device works, the war is over. During his research career, he did a lot of work in France to spread the theory of relativity.
In 1905, he put forward the theory of magnetism, and gave a classic explanation of paramagnetism and diamagnetism of matter with the concept of elementary magnet.
It developed in 1908 Brownian motion Fluctuation theory. At the same time, he firmly opposed fascist , oppose aggression the Second World War During this period, he was arrested and imprisoned by the German occupying forces, and had a serious fight against fascism.

Langevin
On November 4, 1911, the Paris News published the title "Love Story: Madame Curie and Professor Lang Zhiwan". It was said that when Pierre was alive, Lang Zhiwan had intimate relations with Madame Curie. Einstein He wrote a letter to Madame Curie on November 23, 1911 as a consolation.
Madame Curie's greatest controversy in her life may come from her relationship with Langevin (Paul Langevin). Lang Zhiwan was a student of Pierre and an outstanding physicist. It is said that he and his wife are indifferent and have a deep crush on Mary. All kinds of newspapers have made this scandal very popular. Due to the xenophobic mood and the controversial gimmick of "female scientist junior", it was originally romantic French The public could not tolerate Mary and described her as a "Polish slut".
In order to avoid attention, Madame Curie took the children to a friend's house for refuge. Langevin dueled with the reporter. In the face of great pressure, he and she had to choose to break up, and Langevin returned to his wife's side. The relationship ended. Fortunately, in 1911, Madame Curie got the second Nobel Prize , the rumors gradually subsided. On the eve of the award, someone wrote to her to persuade her to decline the award, which was categorically rejected by Madame Curie. Since then, there have been no waves in their lives. Madame Curie died in 1934 at the age of 67. Langevin died in 1946 at the age of 74. They have all made extraordinary academic achievements and are respected physicists by later generations. Years later, Madame Curie's granddaughter married Langevin's grandson. [1-2]
