First sentence: Among the many scientific breakthroughs which have brought solid state physics to be considered as a distinct field of physics, with its own concepts and methods, the most important one was probably the discovery, by Max Von Laue, Walter Friedrich and Paul Knipping in 1912, of the diffraction of X-rays by a crystal.
