Bruno Elschner

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Bruno Elschner (born May 20, 1924 in Schleiz ; † November 21, 2009 in Darmstadt ) was Professor of Physics at the TH Darmstadt .

Elschner studied at the Georg-August University in Göttingen and in Jena , where he received his doctorate in 1953 with a contribution to the expansion of knowledge of the elementary processes of magnetization in iron-silicon crystals . The habilitation followed. From there, shortly before the border became impermeable, he went to the Battelle Institute in Geneva. In 1964 he took up his professorship in Darmstadt, where he became head of the 2nd Physics Institute. In 1989 he retired . He then campaigned for the reorganization of science in the new federal states.

Elschner worked in the field of high frequency and microwave spectroscopy as well as magnetism and superconductivity , in particular he was one of the pioneers of electron spin resonance spectroscopy as a research method.
