Clinton Joseph Davisson. (Bloomington, 1881 - Charlottesville, 1958) Físico norteamericano. Clinton Davisson cursó estudios en la universidad de Chicago y consiguió el doctorado en Princeton. Trabajó en el Carnegie Institute of Technology, donde permaneció desde 1911 a 1917.
Clinton Joseph Davisson was an American experimental physicist who shared the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1937 with George P. Thomson of England for discovering that electrons can be diffracted like light waves, thus verifying the thesis of Louis de Broglie that electrons behave both as waves and as.
From 1930-1937 Dr. Davisson devoted himself to the study of the theory of electron optics and to applications of this theory to engineering problems. He then investigated the scattering and reflection of very slow electrons by metals.
