Artur Lösche (born October 20, 1921 in Leipzig ; † February 12, 1995 there ) was a German physicist .

Life

After graduating from high school in 1940 at the Humboldt School in Leipzig, Artur Lösche began studying physics and mathematics at the University of Leipzig . In 1940 he joined the NSDAP . From 1941 to 1945 he had to interrupt his studies because of the deployment in World War II , from which he suffered a permanent leg injury. In 1945 he resumed his studies and finished it in 1948 with a diploma in physics and the examination for a higher teaching degree in physics and mathematics.

In 1949 he was awarded a doctorate with the thesis "On the influence of rotating fields on the state of order of molecules in gases and liquids". phil. PhD. (At that time physics was still part of the philosophical faculty.) In 1953 he completed his habilitation with a thesis on the topic: "About the dielectric behavior of dipole liquids".

After Harry Pfeifer had carried out the first successful experiments on nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR) in Europe in Leipzig in 1951 , Artur Lösche subsequently established high-frequency spectroscopy as a focus at the Physics Institute of the University of Leipzig. With this and with the publication of his fundamental monograph “Core Induction” in 1957, Lösche created the framework for the formation of a Leipzig school in this area.

In 1955 he received a professorship for experimental physics at the Karl Marx University, as the Leipzig University was then called, and in 1960 he became professor with a chair or full professor, and finally director of the physics section at the university. His collaboration was in demand in numerous scientific organizational bodies, such as B. as deputy chairman of the advisory board for mathematics and natural sciences at the ministry for higher education and technical schools of the GDR and on the board of the research council of the GDR as well as head of the physics group there.

Even after his retirement in 1986, he was still very active in the field of interface physics.

In 1951, Artur Lösche married his former fellow student and later a doctorate in mathematician Charlotte Schmitthenner (1922–2014). The marriage has a daughter and a son.

His grave in the Südfriedhof Leipzig (2011)
