Włodzimierz Trzebiatowski
Włodzimierz Trzebiatowski (born February 25, 1906 Grodzisk Wielkopolski , † November 13, 1982 in Breslau ) was a Polish chemist ( inorganic chemistry , physical chemistry ).
Trzebiatowski received his doctorate in 1931 at the Technical University Lwoff (Lemberg) and habilitated there in 1935 in physical chemistry. In 1938 he became a professor of inorganic chemistry at Lwoff University. From 1945 to 1968 he was Professor of Inorganic Chemistry at the University and Technical University of Wroclaw and Director of the Institute of Inorganic Chemistry. From 1968 to 1974 he was director of the Institute of Low Temperature Physics and Structural Research (and the Laboratory for Strong Magnetic Fields and Low Temperature, which was later named after him) and the Institute for Metallurgy of Rare Elements of the Polish Academy of Sciences. In 1976 he was awarded an honorary doctorate by the Wroclaw University of Technology ( Politechnika Wrocławska ) .
Among other things, he dealt with inorganic structural chemistry, chemistry of solids such as phase equilibria and kinematics of reactions of metal oxide systems (with different oxygen content in the phases), powder metallurgy at extremely high pressures, paramagnetic properties of nickel catalysts, magnetic properties of uranium compounds (where he also found ferromagnets as with uranium hydride) and semiconductor properties with cadmium and zinc arsenide.
In 1979 he received the Marian Smoluchowski Medal .
