Pierre Curie
Pierre Curie
born in 15 May 1859 ~19 April 1906 Paris France
age 18
completed the equivalent of a higher degree
↳ did not proceed immediately to a doctorate due to lack of money.
1880
Pierre and his older brother Jacques demonstrated that an electric potential was generated when crystals were compressed.
1881: demonstrated the reverse affect.
Research
studies on magnetism he designed and
perfected an extremely sensitive torsion
balance for measuring magnetic coefficients.
He studied ferromagnetism, paramagnetism, and diamagnetism for his doctoral thesis and discovered the effect of temperature on paramagnetism which is now known as Curie's law.
discovered that ferromagnetic substances exhibited a critical temperature transition, above which the substances lost their ferromagnetic behavior.
↳ known as the Curie point
Curie is unit of radio activity
(3,7 x 10^10 decays per second or 7gigabecquerels)
Curie's studies of radioactive substances
were made together with his wife.
Pierre and one of his student made the
first discovery of nuclear energy by identifying the continuous emission of heat from radium particles.
investigated the radiation emissions of radioactive substances and through the use of magnetic field was able to show that some of the emissions were positively charged, some were negative and some were neutral
↳ correspond to alpha, beta, and gamma radiation
The curie effect usually refers to a magnetic phenomenon discovered by Pierre Curie. He discovered that ferromagnetic substances exhibited a critical temperature transition, above which the substances lost their ferromagnetic behavior. This is now known as the Curie point.
Pierre Curie discovered piezoelectricity, and together with his wife discovered radium. They did important founding work on radioactivity.
Personal Life
married with Marie in 1895
one daughter who's name is Eve, also followed chemistry
The other daughter who's name is Irene Joliot-Curie and their son in law Frederic Joliot-Curie were also physics involved in the study of radioactivity
Pierre died in Paris on 19 April 1906. He tried to run across the street while it was raining, but he slipped, and then was hit and run over by a horse drawn vehicle. His skull was badly fractured.
