Paul Ziesche

Paul Ziesche (born February 9, 1933 in Eisenach ) is a German physicist and university professor who focused on the electron theory of metals, known as Drude's theory , and held an international symposium on the electronic structure of metals and metals at the Technical University of Dresden for several years Alloys. In addition, he was editor of the German-language edition of the ten-volume standard textbook of theoretical physics by the Soviet physicists Lew Landau and Jewgeni Lifschitz .

Life

Ziesche completed after high school to study physics . On April 11, 1963, the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences of the TU Dresden received his doctorate as Dr. rer. nat. with a dissertation on the subject of investigations on electron gas and similar systems . Afterwards he worked in the department for theoretical physics of the educational institute "Karl Friedrich Wilhelm Wander" in Dresden.

After his habilitation at the TU Dresden on May 11, 1967 with a habilitation thesis on the application of functional methods in statistical mechanics and in quantum field theory , he himself took over a professorship for physics at the Technical University of Dresden. Along with Helmut Eschrig , Wolfgang Pompe and Gerd Röpke, he was one of a group of younger physicists led by Wilhelm Macke , the founder of the school for statistical physics located there .

In addition to his teaching activities, he mainly dealt with the Drude theory, named after Paul Drude , on the electron theory of metals, but also with questions about solids , impurities and thermodynamics . In addition, he held an international symposium on the electronic structure of metals and alloys at the Technical University of Dresden (TU Dresden) for several years and published the results achieved there in annual reports.

Ziesche, who also worked at the Max Planck Institute for the Physics of Complex Systems in Dresden, was also the editor of the German-language edition of the ten-volume standard textbook on theoretical physics by the Soviet physicists Lew Dawidowitsch Landau and Evgeni Michailowitsch Lifschitz.
