Arnim Henglein

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Arnim Henglein (born May 23, 1926 in Cologne ; † January 5, 2012 ) was a German chemist who dealt in particular with work on radiochemistry and physical chemistry .

Life

Arnim Henglein, son of the chemist Friedrich August Henglein , studied post-school chemistry and in 1951 at Heinz Ewald at the University of Mainz with the work mass spectrographic provisions of the masses of 23 Na, 41 K, 39 K and studies of the dissociation of ions doctorate . After completing his habilitation , he was appointed professor at the Technical University of Berlin . He later accepted a professorship for physical chemistry at the Hahn Meitner Institute for Nuclear Research in Berlin and taught there until his retirement . He also gave guest lectures at the International School of Physics Enrico Fermi .

In addition to his teaching activities, he wrote several specialist books on radiochemistry and physical chemistry.
