Ernst Baldinger

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ernst Baldinger-Müller , quoted Ernst Baldinger, (born January 5, 1911 in Binningen ; † December 8, 1970 ) was a Swiss physicist.

Baldinger attended the Obere Realschule in Basel and studied electrical engineering at the ETH Zurich with a diploma in 1935. He then switched to nuclear physics and received his doctorate in 1938 under Paul Scherrer (nuclear conversions of nitrogen with fast neutrons). He then worked in the Industrial Research Department (AfiF) of the Institute for Technical Physics at ETH with Professor Fritz Fischer , before moving to the University of Basel in 1945 , where he became full professor in 1952 and head of the newly founded Institute for Applied Physics in 1959.

At first he dealt with electronics in nuclear physics (amplifiers, electronics of counter tubes, analog computing devices, etc.), after the invention of the transistor he turned to transistor circuits and finally to solid-state detectors.
