Gottlieb Adler

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Gottlieb Adler (born March 7, 1860 in Steken , † December 14, 1893 in Vienna ) was an Austrian physicist.

Live and act

Gottlieb Adler was a son of Josef Adler and Franziska Pichler. From 1877 to 1881 he studied at the University of Vienna and heard from Josef Stefan and Viktor von Lang . In 1881/82 he learned in Berlin and in the following year he submitted the excellent dissertation “On the theory of heat conduction” in Vienna. He dealt with theoretical physics, which at the time received too little attention and with which he then dealt particularly.

From 1882 to 1883 Adler taught at a grammar school. During this time he undertook private studies in mechanics and electricity. He was specifically concerned with the mechanical interpretation of electrical phenomena. He wrote the two articles "About the energy and the forced state in the electrostatic field" and was able to do his habilitation in Vienna in 1885.

After Josef Stefan died, in 1893, and thus in the year of his death, Adler received the post of associate professor for mathematical physics at the University of Vienna for the first time. In his theoretical and physical writings, he dealt in particular with issues relating to electrostatics and magnetism.
