Hans Burzlaff
Hans Burzlaff (born February 19, 1932 in Schlawe ) is a German physicist , mineralogist and crystallographer .
Burzlaff studied mathematics and physics at the University of Kiel , where he received his doctorate in mineralogy in 1961. He then worked as a research assistant and curator at the Institute for Mineralogy in Kiel and from 1964 in Marburg, where he completed his habilitation in 1968. In the same year he went to the Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg , where he was scientific counselor, associate professor and from 1971 full professor for crystallography (on a newly created chair that was assigned to the Institute for Applied Physics).
He dealt with the direct methods of X-ray crystallography (after Jerome Karle and Herbert A. Hauptman ), device development and measurement methods in X-ray structure analysis . Together with K. Hümmer he developed a six-circle diffractometer for measuring multi-beam interference on non-ideal crystals.
He was co-editor of Acta Crystallographica and from 1994 to 1997 chairman of the German Society for Crystallography .
In 2008 he received the Carl Hermann Medal .
