Georg Michael Kalvius

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Georg Michael Kalvius (born February 10, 1933 in Braunschweig ) is a German physicist ( solid state physics ). He is emeritus professor for experimental physics at the Technical University of Munich .

Live and act

After graduating from high school in 1953, Kalvius studied physics in Göttingen and Munich until 1958 at the Free Waldorf School in Benefeld and received his doctorate in 1961 at the Technical University of Munich under Prof. Heinz Maier-Leibnitz . After teaching and research stays at the Case Western Reserve University and the Argonne National Laboratory , he was appointed to the Physics Department of the Technical University of Munich in 1970. There he was one of the directors of the Institute for Nuclear Physics and Nuclear Solid State Physics until his retirement in 2001 .

Kalvius is one of the pioneers of Mössbauer spectroscopy . He used it, and later also muon spin spectroscopy , to investigate the magnetic properties of rare earths and actinides and their compounds, using high pressures and very low temperatures.

From 1977 to 2000 he was co-director of the Munich Research Reactor , from 1979 to 1985 chairman of the International Board on the Application of Mössbauer Effect (IBAME) and from 1982 to 1992 chairman of the Magnetism Section of the Condensed Matter Division of the European Physical Society . Kalvius received the Gay Lussac Humboldt Prize in 1986 .
