Franz Schwabl

Franz Schwabl (born June 24, 1938 in Zell am See ; † August 4, 2009 ) was an Austrian physicist. He was full professor for theoretical physics at the Technical University of Munich .

Schwabl received his doctorate in 1962 at the University of Vienna and completed his habilitation there in 1970. In 1972 he became a private lecturer at the University of Cologne , in 1973 he was a full professor at the Johannes Kepler University in Linz and in 1982 moved to the Technical University of Munich. In 2003, after 21 years, he retired from Chair V for Theoretical Physics.

He worked in the field of magnetic materials. He also investigated structure formation in driven, dissipative non-equilibrium systems as well as ferroelastics and ferroelectrics.

Schwabl wrote well-known textbooks on quantum mechanics and statistical mechanics , which were published in German and English.

With him were u. a. Barbara Drossel and the Walter Schottky Prize winner Reinhard Folk .
