de Broglie: Recherches sur la théorie des Quanta

What changed

Wave–particle duality was extended conceptually from radiation to matter.

Scientific scope

1924 thesis; later electron diffraction, Schrödinger wave mechanics and modern quantum formalism excluded.

Evidence

The linked sources identify this contribution and its scope. WRS has not independently reconstructed the scientific claims. The record is de Broglie’s 1924 thesis. Later electron-diffraction experiments, Schrödinger wave mechanics and modern quantum formalism are separate achievements.
