__de Broglie__

de Broglie is the individual who is credited with the idea of the Duality of the Electron. Because of de Broglie's attempt at describing the electrons as waves, Schrodinger was able to develop the Modern Theory of Atomic Structure

Duality of the Electron

Light can be treated as a wave or particle. Light arises from the vibration of electrons. Therefore, it seems logical to be able to describe the electron as either a wave or particle. This concept was first developed by de Broglie. The Duality concept has many varied interpretations. It is useful to be able to visualize an electron as both a wave and a particle**.** ||
