Frank Steglich
Frank Steglich (born March 14, 1941 in Dresden ) is the founding director and emeritus director of the research area Solid State Physics at the Max Planck Institute for Chemical Physics of Solids in Dresden.
Life
Steglich studied physics in Münster and Göttingen from 1960 to 1966 . In 1969 he was in Göttingen with a work on thermal conductivity in highly disordered thin metallic films PhD . In 1976 he completed his habilitation in physics at the University of Cologne .
From 1978 to 1998 he was Professor of Experimental Physics at the Institute for Solid State Physics at the Technical University / Technical University of Darmstadt .
In 1996 he was the founding director of the Max Planck Institute for Chemical Physics of Solids in Dresden, where he took over the solid state physics research area .
Steglich is considered to be the discoverer of heavy fermion superconductivity (1979): The observation of superconductivity in CeCu 2 Si 2 is considered to be the first example of unconventional superconductors (which also include high-temperature superconductors ) beyond the material class of heavy fermion metals .
From 2001 to 2007 he was Vice President of the German Research Foundation (DFG). From 2002 to 2007 he was a member of the Board of Governors of the German-Israel Foundation (GIF). Since 2006 he has been chairman of the Scientific Advisory Board of the Center for Electronic Correlations and Magnetism (EKM) at the University of Augsburg and since 2012 a member of the Scientific Commission of the Einstein Foundation Berlin . Since 2012 he has been director of the Center for Correlated Matter (CCM) at Zhejiang University in Hangzhou (China).
