Peter Paufler

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Peter Paufler (born February 18, 1940 in Dresden ) is a German physicist and crystallographer. He is professor for crystallography at the TU Dresden .

Life

Paufler passed his Abitur in 1958 at the Dresden-Süd Oberschule . He then studied physics at the TH Dresden in Dresden and graduated in 1963 with a diploma. The diploma thesis was dedicated to the growth of single crystals of intermetallic compounds. In 1967 he received his doctorate summa cum laude under Gustav Ernst Robert Schulze ( on the plasticity of intermetallic compounds, especially of MgZn 2 ). From 1963 he was a scientific assistant and from 1967 senior assistant at the Institute for Radiology and Metal Physics at the TU Dresden. In 1970 he became a university lecturer for experimental physics at the TU Dresden and in 1978 a full professor for crystallography at the University of Leipzig. From 1992 until his retirement in 2005 he was professor for crystallography at the Institute for Structural Physics at TU Dresden.

In 1970 he was on a research stay in Grenoble, in 1972/2 at Lomonossow University and several times in the 1970s at the Nuclear Research Institute in Dubna at the Laboratory for Neutron Physics .

He published over 240 scientific papers, in particular on the relationship between the structure and physical properties of intermetallic compounds , with quasicrystals , borosilicates , nano-hardness, nano-multilayers and anisotropy of the physical properties of crystals.

From 1990 to 2006 he was co-editor of the Zeitschrift für Kristallographie , from 2005 of Acta Crystallographica and from 1975 of Crystal Research and Technology .

Honors and memberships

Paufler has been a full member of the Saxon Academy of Sciences in Leipzig and a member of the German Academy of Natural Scientists Leopoldina in Halle (Saale) since 1998 .

The German Society for Crystallography awarded him the Carl Hermann Medal in 2005 and honorary membership in 2014 .

In 2006 he became an honorary member of the German Mineralogical Society and an honorary doctorate in natural sciences from the University of Leipzig.

The new mineral pauflerite , found in 1977 and described and recognized in 2005, was named in his honor.
