Hanskarl Müller-Buschbaum
Hanskarl Müller-Buschbaum (born May 24, 1931 in Wallendorf ; † November 21, 2016 in Kiel ) was a German chemist and professor of inorganic and solid-state chemistry .
life and work
Hanskarl Müller-Buschbaum studied chemistry at the Ernst-Moritz-Arndt University of Greifswald . He wrote his doctoral thesis entitled On the emission behavior of samarium-activated phosphors via UV-excited borate luminophores in the working group of Hans Witzmann (doctorate 1960). Soon afterwards he fled to West Germany. After a short time at Siemens in Munich, he moved to the University of Münster in Wilhelm Klemm's work group . After completing his habilitation in 1966 at the University of Giessen under Rudolf Hoppe , Müller-Buschbaum was appointed full professor at the Christian-Albrechts-Universität zu Kiel in 1969, where he was director of the Institute for Inorganic Chemistry from 1969 until his retirement in 1996. In 1977 he turned down a call to the University of Freiburg.
He conducted research in the field of solid-state chemistry at high temperatures, a research focus unique in Germany, and especially the synthesis of oxo and halogenooxometallates of main and sub-group metals at high temperatures. The temperatures were achieved with plasma torches, solar melting furnaces and carbon dioxide lasers and the often metastable structures that formed were examined with X-ray diffraction . In addition, computer programs for the three-dimensional representation of inorganic crystal structures were developed at his institute.
Müller-Buschbaum was a member of the Leopoldina and received the Wilhelm-Klemm-Prize of the Society of German Chemists in 1991 .
His son Klaus Müller-Buschbaum is professor of inorganic chemistry in Gießen and his son Peter Müller-Buschbaum professor of physics at the Technical University of Munich .
