Carl Johannes Wilhelm Theodor Pape (born January 20, 1836 in Hanover , † May 7, 1906 in Steglitz ) was a German physicist .

Life

Carl Pape attended grammar school in Celle and, after graduating from high school in 1855, studied natural sciences until 1857 at the Georg-August University of Göttingen and then at the Ruprecht-Karls-University of Heidelberg , where he also received his doctorate in 1858. phil. received his doctorate (dissertation printed in 1861).

After continuing his studies at the University of Königsberg in Franz Neumann in Königsberg he was in 1862 with his habilitation thesis on the specific heat of anhydrous and hydrous salts of mathematical physics in Göttingen habilitation . He then taught as a private lecturer in Göttingen and from 1866 as a professor at the Agricultural Academy in Proskau .

In 1877 he was appointed full professor of experimental physics at the Albertus University in Königsberg, succeeding Ludwig Moser . From 1878 to 1904 he was full professor of physics in Königsberg.

The scientific focus of Carl Pape was in the area of ​​crystal physics. Pape was involved in the edition of Neumann's writings and initiated the new building of the physical institute of the Albertus University in Königsberg.

On October 28, 1887, Carl Pape was accepted into the Leopoldina as a member ( matriculation number 2666 ) .
