Gunnar Hagg
Gunnar Hägg (born December 14, 1903 in Stockholm , † May 28, 1986 ) was a Swedish chemist.
Life
Hägg studied chemistry at Stockholm University from 1922 , was a Ramsay Fellow at the University of London in 1926 and became a student of Arne Westgren in Stockholm in 1929 with the work X-ray studies on the binary systems of iron with nitrogen, phosphorus, arsenic, antimony and bismuth PhD . He was then a private lecturer at Stockholm University and in 1930 at Jena University. In 1937 he became professor of inorganic and general chemistry at Uppsala University . In 1969 he retired.
He dealt with nitrides , borides , carbides and hydrides of transition metals and determined their crystal structure with X-ray diffraction. For this he also developed x-ray cameras and calculating machines. His studies of phases and phase changes in steel had practical applications.
He is known in Sweden for his university chemistry textbooks. From 1965 to 1976 he was on the Nobel Committee for Chemistry (and 1976 chairman).
He was a member of the Royal Society of Sciences in Uppsala (1940), the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences (1942), the Royal Physiographical Society in Lund (1943) and the Engineering Academy, whose Grand Gold Medal he received in 1969. In 1960 he also became a member of the Leopoldina . A room in the Ångström Laboratory at Uppsala University is named after him. In 1968 he received the Oscar Carlson Medal and in 1997 the Gunnar Starck Medal of the Swedish Chemical Society .
