Manfred Faubel
Manfred Faubel (born March 27, 1944 ) is a German experimental physicist who deals with molecular beams and the spectroscopy of aqueous surfaces. He is at the Max Planck Institute for Dynamics and Self-Organization in Göttingen.
Faubel received his physics diploma with a thesis in nuclear physics at the University of Mainz in 1969 , he was at the Max Planck Institute for Flow Research (today MPI for Dynamics and Self-Organization) in Göttingen from 1973 and received his doctorate there in 1976 under Jan Peter Toennies ( Inelastische Scattering experiments to investigate the rotation and vibration excitation of H2 molecules by low-energy Li-ions ). At that time he dealt with molecular beam experiments to investigate the fundamentals of molecule scattering.
From the 1980s he experimented with free liquid vacuum surfaces of water and aqueous solutions. The problem of the high vapor pressure of water and other solvents, which until then made the possibility of vacuum experiments impractical, was circumvented by working with thin jets of liquid at high flow rates (diameter around 10 micrometers, corresponding to the free path of the molecules ). He examined the surfaces with photoelectron spectroscopy with synchrotron radiation sources and pursued applications in mass spectrometry of large, biologically interesting molecules (proteins, DNA) in aqueous solutions, which are separated from the liquid jet with laser desorption.
In 1989 he received the Stern-Gerlach Prize .
