Hartmut Bärnighausen

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hartmut Bärnighausen (born February 16, 1933 in Chemnitz ) is a German chemist who became famous for his work on solid-state chemistry and, above all, for the Bärnighausen family trees named after him.

Life

After graduating from high school in Chemnitz, Bärnighausen began studying chemistry in Leipzig. He completed this in 1955 with a diploma thesis with Leopold Wolf . In May 1958 he fled to the West via Berlin. There he was accepted by Georg Brauer in Freiburg and received his doctorate in 1959. He then spent several years postdoctoral research in Freiburg. Several months of stays with Franz Jellinek at the University of Groningen interrupted this time. As early as 1967 - shortly after his habilitation - he took over the chair for Inorganic Chemistry II at the University of Karlsruhe . In the spring of 1998 he retired.

Research areas

  • the application of crystallographic group theory in crystal chemistry (Bärnighausen family trees)
  • Solid-state chemical synthesis of new rare earth compounds with unusual oxidation states and investigation of their magnetic and electronic states (e.g. Sm 3 S 4 , LiEu 3 O 4 , Dy 5 Cl 11 , Yb 6 Cl 13 )
  • Elaboration and programming of structure refinement in multi-ring crystals
  • Development of a reliable absorption correction of X-ray diffraction data
  • Application of group theory to phase changes
