Debye, Peter Joseph Willem - Hutchinson encyclopedia article about Debye, Peter Joseph Willem (321 words)
Debye was born in Maastricht and studied at the Technische Hochschule in Aachen, Germany, and at the University of Munich.
Debye's first major contribution was a modification of Einstein's theory of specific heats to include compressibility and expansivity.
Debye's studies of dielectric constants led to the explanation of their temperature dependence and of their importance in the interpretation of dipole moments as indicators of molecular structure.
