Martin Jansen

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Martin Jansen (born November 5, 1944 in Pellworm ) is a German chemist .

Life

Jansen attended the Hermann Tast School in Husum , then studied between 1966 and 1970 at the Justus Liebig University in Giessen and received his doctorate in 1973 under Rudolf Hoppe at the Universitat Giessen. rer. nat. In 1978 he obtained his habilitation in inorganic chemistry .

In 1981 he was appointed to the chair for inorganic chemistry at the University of Hanover , from 1987 to 1998 he was professor and institute director at the University of Bonn , from 1998 to 2012 he was director at the Max Planck Institute for Solid State Research in Stuttgart and honorary professor at the University of Stuttgart .

research

Jansen deals with basic research in inorganic solid-state chemistry, in particular with the structural chemistry of non-metal and metal oxides. His research subjects are binary and ternary oxides , superconducting oxides , ion conductors , oxidic structural ceramics and pigments , endohedral fullerenes and fullerides as well as amorphous nitridic networks.

He achieved success in materials research , for example, he developed a Si - B - N - C ceramic that is more stable to heat and simultaneous oxidation than all known high-performance ceramics.

More recently he has become known through theoretical work on structure prediction and synthesis planning. Among other things, he succeeded in the first synthesis of sodium nitride and potassium nitride with the help of low-temperature molecular beam epitaxy .

From 2007 to 2014 he was one of the editors of the Journal of Inorganic and General Chemistry .

Prizes and awards

In 2004 he received an honorary doctorate from the Ludwig Maximilians University in Munich . He is a member of the German Academy of Sciences Leopoldina , the Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of Sciences , the North Rhine-Westphalian Academy of Sciences , the Academia Europaea and the German Academy of Science and Engineering (acatech) .
