F. M. Devienne

Not to be confused with François Devienne.

Fernand Marcel Devienne (20 February 1913 (Marseille)–19 April 2003 (Cannes))[1] was a French physicist who developed research on molecular beams and spectrum analysis in rarefied gas environment.[2]

Life

A Doctor of physics, F. Marcel Devienne was director of a research laboratory near Nice. He also presided yearly symposiums on molecular beams. He was one of the first to study the energy properties of triatomic hydrogen molecules[3] and triatomic deuterium.[4][5] His researches also sought to recreate interstellar-like conditions to experiment synthesis of biological compounds in such environments.[6]

Honours

F.M. Devienne was chevalier of the Legion of Honour, member of the New York Academy of Sciences and laureate of the 1972 Gustave Ribaud Prize of the French Academy of Sciences.[1]
