Klaus Funke (physical chemist)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Klaus Funke (born December 16, 1944 in Schreiberhau , Riesengebirge) is a German physical chemist . Between 1979 and 1985 he was professor at the University of Hanover and from 1985 until his retirement in 2010 he was professor at the University of Münster . He conducted research in the field of solid state ionics .

Life

Funke graduated from the Tellkampf School in Hanover in 1963 . He earned a physics degree in 1968 in Göttingen and in 1970 when Wilhelm Jost in Göttingen PhD . In 1973 he was a post-doctoral student at the Institut Laue-Langevin in Grenoble. He completed his habilitation in physical chemistry in Göttingen in 1976. From 1979 he was professor at the Leibniz University in Hanover and head of electrochemistry and from 1981 to 1983 he was dean of the chemistry department in Hanover. In 1985 he succeeded Ewald Wicke as professor and head of the Institute for Physical Chemistry in Münster. In 1998 he hosted the 97th Bunsen Conference in Münster.

In 1979 he co-founded Solid State Ionics magazine . In 1980 he received the Walter Schottky Prize of the DPG and in 1997 the Wilhelm Jost Memorial Medal . From 2000 he was on the advisory board of the Max Planck Institute for Solid State Research in Stuttgart, from 2003 to 2004 he was first chairman of the Bunsen Society (and then for two years deputy chairman) and from 2007 to 2009 he was president of the International Society for Solid State Ionics (ISSI). From 2001 to 2003 he was President of the Association of German University Professors (ADUC) in the Society of German Chemists.

He researches the movement of ions in solids ( solid electrolytes ) and disordered structures, i.e. in crystalline, molten, glass-shaped or polymeric ion conductors. For this purpose, he and his work group developed analytical models such as the Jump Relaxation Model JRM, the Concept of Mismatch and Relaxation CMR and the Mismatch Generated Relaxation for the Accommodation and Transport of IONs MIGRATION as modeling of the elementary transport step of a single ion in the solid. He compared the models with the experimentally obtained conductivity spectra of the ions, which range from 10 −3 to 10 14 Hertz and thus over 17 orders of magnitude on the frequency scale. From 2000 to 2009 and thus for the entire duration of the Collaborative Research Center 458 Ion Movement in Materials with Disordered Structures - from the elementary step to macroscopic transport , he was its spokesman.

In 2010 Funke retired. As of October 2019, Funke has published 123 papers recorded in the Scopus database , most recently two papers published in 2015 on the behavior of solid electrolytes, especially electrical conductivity. According to Scopus, it had achieved an h-index of 32 by October 2019 .
