Vita

Axel Hausmann studied physics , philosophy and archeology at the University of Göttingen . Hausmann graduated there in 1964 with a degree in physics and received his doctorate two years later under Rudolf Hilsch at the 1st Physics Institute of the University of Göttingen on electron spin resonance in alkali halide crystals with sulfur and selenium additives .

Subsequently, the 2nd Physics Institute B at RWTH Aachen took him over as a scientific assistant. After Hausmann had completed his habilitation in 1970 in physics on the subject of an "F-Center" as a paramagnetic donor in zinc oxide , he was first appointed as an adjunct professor in 1972 and then in 1974 as a full professor for the subject of “ experimental physics for medical professionals” . Axel Hausmann held this position until his retirement in 2004.

Axel Hausmann specialized, among other things, in the structure of voids and foreign atoms in crystals, especially in II-VI compound semiconductors . He was significantly involved in the further development of the methods of electron spin and electron-nucleus double resonance, as well as in cryostat technology.

In addition to his teaching activities , Hausmann, who described himself as a "universal dilettante", dealt with the history of Aachen and published several books on the history of Aachen. In it he discussed the assumption that the entire palace complex was built according to a uniform geometric principle. Another focus of his research was the history of Greece and Atlantis research. He gained notoriety through his self-published thesis that Plato's Atlantis was identical to a plateau between Malta and Sicily . In 2007 a large Atlantis conference was held in Milos , to which he was an invited speaker.
