Harald Reichert

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Harald Reichert (* 1963 in Schweinfurt ) is a German physicist and currently director of physical research at the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (ESRF for short) in Grenoble .

Reichert received his doctorate in 1995 from the Ludwig Maximilians University of Munich and then received a position at the University of Houston in the United States with a Feodor Lynen Fellowship from the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation , before briefly at the Bergische Universität Wuppertal worked. After all, he worked at the Max Planck Institute for Metals Research - today's Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems - for eleven years . There he received the Walter Schottky Prize from the German Physical Society in 2002 . Since January 1st, 2009 he has been director of physical research at the large research facility ESRF in Grenoble.

Harald Reichert is a leading expert in the application of modern X-ray methods to solid-state physics and materials science research problems . He was particularly known for investigating liquid layers on solid surfaces. He observed, among other things, a liquid water layer on SiO 2 at temperatures below the melting temperature of ice as well as local complexes with an icosahedral structure in liquid lead . Reichert also made important contributions to the development of new X-ray scattering methods, for example a method for examining buried interfaces with microfocused, high - energy X - rays . In his position, he is responsible for an extensive instrumentation renewal program at the ESRF.
