Anatole Leduc

Sylvestre Anatole Leduc , called Anatole Leduc, often quoted SA Leduc, (born April 22, 1856 in Oust-Marest , † April 16, 1937 in Châtenay-Malabry ) was a French physicist. Independently of Augusto Righi , he discovered the Righi-Leduc effect in thermomagnetism.

He studied from 1877 at the École normal supérieure and also attended physics lectures at the Sorbonne . In 1879 he received his degree in mathematics and physics. In 1880 the agrégation in physics followed, which took place in France in a competition in which he excelled. Then he was professor of natural sciences at the Collège Stanislas in Paris, at the Lycée Saint Louis (from 1883), temporarily at the Lycée Charlemagne (1887) and from 1885 to 1889 at the Lycée Louis-le-Grand , where he became a professor. In 1888 he received his doctorate from Gabriel Lippmann at the Sorbonne with a dissertation on thermomagnetism ( Modification de la conductibilité du bismuth dans un champ magnétique ), with results that make up the Riggi-Leduc effect. Then he dealt with gas properties. In 1892 he was Maitre de conferences at the Sorbonne under Edmond Bouty . In 1900 he became professor adjointe and in 1922 adjunct professor of theoretical physics and celestial mechanics (but he continued to teach general physics and was represented on the subject of his chair by his Chargé de cours Georges Sagnac ). In 1927 he retired.

In 1905 he received the Prix Wilde of the Académie des Sciences , in 1918 the Prix Hughes and in 1923 the Prix La Caze. He was a Knight of the Legion of Honor .
