Alice Leigh-Smith (née Prebil) was an English nuclear physicist. She married Philip Leigh-Smith, the son of the Arctic explorer Benjamin Leigh-Smith, in 1933. She was a student of Marie Curie and was the first British woman to receive a PhD in nuclear physics.〔 〕 She, together with Walter Minder, announced the discovery of element 85 (now called astatine)〔 〕 in 1942.〔 〕 They proposed the name anglohelvetium〔 for the new element. Later it was proven that in fact Walter Minder had not discovered element 85.〔〔 〕 Leigh-Smith was also involved in the use of radioactive substances as a treatment for cancer. ==External links== * (Benjamin Leigh-Smith Arctic Explorer ) Image of Alice Leigh-Smith 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Alice Leigh-Smith」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
