MARIGNAC, JEAN CHARLES GALISSARD DE (1817-1894), Swiss chemist, was born at Geneva on the 24th of April 1817.
Marignac's name is well known for the careful and exact determinations of atomic weights which he carried out for twenty-eight of the elements.
In physical chemistry he carried out many researches on the nature and process of solution, investigating in particular the thermal effects produced by the dilution of saline solutions, the variation of the specific heat of saline solutions with temperature and concentration, and the phenomena of liquid diffusion.

 List of chemical element name etymologies
The oxide was at first called barote, by Guyton de Morveau, which was changed by Antoine Lavoisier to baryta, which soon was modified to "barium" to describe the metal.
Dysprosium was first identified in Paris in 1886 by French chemist Paul Émile Lecoq de Boisbaudran; however, the element itself was not isolated in relatively pure form until after the development of ion exchange and metallographic reduction techniques in the 1950s.
In 1880, Swiss chemist Jean Charles Galissard de Marignac observed spectroscopic lines due to gadolinium in samples of didymium and gadolinite; French chemist Paul Émile Lecoq de Boisbaudran separated gadolinia, the oxide of Gadolinium, from Mosander's yttria in 1886.

 Ytterbium - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ytterbium was discovered by the Swiss chemist Jean Charles Galissard de Marignac in 1878.
Marignac found a new component in the earth then known as erbia and named it ytterbia (after Ytterby, the Swedish town where he found the new erbia component).
He suspected that ytterbia was a compound of a new element he called ytterbium (which was in fact the first rare earth to be discovered).

 Triple DES   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
In cryptography, Triple DES (also 3DES) is a block cipher formed from the Data Encryption Standard (DES) cipher.
It was developed by Walter Tuchman (the leader of the DES development team at IBM) and is specified in FIPS Pub 46-3.
DES is not a group; if it were one, the Triple-DES construction would be equivalent to a single DES operation and no more secure.

This agreement replaced the longstanding standard metre located in Paris which was a metal bar made of a platinum-iridium alloy (the bar was originally estimated to be one ten millionth of a quadrant of the earth’s polar circumference).
Both men found lutetium as an impurity in the mineral ytterbia which was thought by Swiss chemist Jean Charles Galissard de Marignac (and most others) to consist entirely of the element ytterbium.
Platinum was discovered by astronomer Antonio de Ulloa and Don Jorge Juan y Santacilia (1713-1773), both appointed by King Philip V to join a geographical expedition in Peru that lasted from 1735 to 1745.

Louis Victor Pierre Raymond duc de Broglie was a French physicist best known for his research on quantum theory and for his discovery of the wave nature of electrons.
De Broglie was of the French aristocracy - hence the title "duc" (Prince).
In 1923, as part of his Ph.D. thesis, he argued that since light could be seen to behave under some conditions as particles (photoelectric effect) and other times as waves (diffraction), we should consider that matter has the same ambiguity of possessing both particle and wave properties.

On 22 October 1878, Jean Charles Galissard de Marignac reports that he has split terbia in two new earths, terbia proper and ytterbia, which Ytterbium.
Marignac's ytterbia was split by Nilson in 1879 into scandia (see Scandium) and a new ytterbia.
Finally, Nilson's ytterbia was separated by Georges Urbain (1872-1938) in 1907 into neo-ytterbia and lutecia, with the elements Neo-ytterbium and Lutecium Comptes rendus hebdomadaires des séances de l\'Académie des sciences 145 (1907), p.

Hatchett found niobium in columbite ore that was sent to England in the 1750s by John Winthrop who was the first governor of Connecticut.
There was a considerable amount of confusion about the difference between the closely-related niobium and tantalum that wasn't resolved until 1846 by Heinrich Rose and Jean Charles Galissard de Marignac who rediscovered the element.

Samarium was discovered by Jean Charles Galissard de Marignac in Switzerland in 1853.
It was isolated in France in 1879 by the French chemist Paul Emile Lecoq de Boisbaudran.

French philosopher and physiologist noted for Rapports du physique et du moral de l'homme (1802; "Relations of the Physical and the Moral in Man"), which explained all of reality, including the psychic, mental, and moral aspects of man, in terms of a mechanistic Materialism.
He argued that "to have an accurate idea of the operations from which thought results, it is necessary to consider the brain as a special organ designed especially to produce it, as the stomach and the intestines are designed to operate the digestion, (and) the liver to filter bile..."
In Élémens de botanique (1694), he arranged the petal-bearing plants into classes based on the form of the corolla, then into families based on the position of the corolla, and finally into genera as defined by the character of the fruit and seed.

It should be noted that the ytterbium listed above was a mixture discovered in the mineral erbia by de Marignac in 1878 and not the neoytterbium/aldebaranium element renamed ytterbium that was found in the mineral ytterbia.
The element was discovered by the Scottish chemist and physician Thomas Charles Hope in 1792 observing the brilliant red flame color of strontium.
It was discovered by the Swiss chemist Jean-Charles Galissard de Marignac in 1878 in erbium nitrate from gadolinite (ytterbite renamed).

 BookRags: Ytterbium Summary
In 1878, Jean-Charles Galissard de Marignac (1817-189) analyzed a rare earth material known as erbia and found that it consisted of two parts.
Urbain showed in 1907 that Nilson's ytterbia was actually a mixture itself of two oxides.
The first he named lutecia and the second, neoytterbium, in order, he said, "to leave the illustrious Marignac, in the future, the credit of his fundamental discovery." The name of the second element was eventually shortened, however, to ytterbium.

He was searching for the missing element between aluminum and indium and based his search on the proposition that the arrangement of lines within chemically-similar elements are repeated according to the same general arrangement.
Boisbaudran continued his spectroscopic investigations, concentrating on rare earth elements, and he is credited with the discovery of dysprosium, and samarium.
It appears that his spectroscopic skills also supported the work of prominent chemists such as Jean-Charles Galissard de Marignac (discoverer of ytterbium and gadolinium).Boisbaudran spoke English well, but often translated his French thoughts too literally.
