Joachim Heidberg

Joachim Heidberg (born January 30, 1933 in Breslau ; † May 7, 2008 in Hanover ) was a German chemist ( theoretical chemistry , physical chemistry ). He was a professor at the University of Hanover .

Life

Heidberg studied chemistry at the Goethe University in Frankfurt am Main with a diploma in 1959 and a doctorate under Hermann Hartmann in 1962. As a post-doctoral student he was with Gordon Goodman at the Argonne National Laboratory . In 1965 he completed his habilitation in Frankfurt (line shapes in spectra of the spin resonance of reacting systems. Theory and measurements. Internal rotation in anilines) and was professor of physical chemistry there from 1972/73. In 1973 he became a professor at the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg (and was also a visiting professor in Bayreuth in 1978) and in 1981 he became a professor of physical chemistry at the Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz University in Hanover and director of the Institute for Physical Chemistry and Electrochemistry. In 1998 he retired.

He deals with laser-induced resonant desorption and evaporation, with the production, thermodynamics and structure of ordered boundary layers on salts and carbons, polarization spectroscopy and phase transitions with change of orientation and with electrostatic salt separation.

In 1995 he became a member of the Braunschweig Scientific Society and became its chairman in 2001.
