Wolfgang Klose (physicist)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Wolfgang Dietrich Ernst August Klose (born January 1, 1930 in Berlin-Pankow ) is a German physicist , university professor and expert on Japanese art history .

Life

Wolfgang Klose studied mathematics , physics and astrophysics from 1948 to 1953 . In 1953 he received his diploma from Alexander Deubner at the Institute for Experimental Physics at the Humboldt University in Berlin with a thesis on exoelectrons made from metals. His dissertation , written in 1956 and presented to Friedrich S. Possible , Institute for Theoretical Physics at HU Berlin, dealt again with the surface effect in freshly vapor-deposited metals and reads: On the question of the excitation process and the release of secondary electrons from metals .

From 1956 to 1961 he was a research assistant at the Physics-Technical Institute of the German Academy of Sciences in Berlin . From 1961 to 1967 he worked in the Erlangen research laboratory of Siemens-Schuckertwerke AG ; finally only as a scientific advisor, because in 1964 he received the Venia Legendi for physics at the Friedrich Alexander University in Erlangen . He then spent a year (1965/1966) under the "Troisième Cycle of the Universités de la Suisse Romande" as a guest lecturer in the Welsch Switzerland . Eventually he became a full professor and was employed from 1967 to 1974 at the Saarland University , Saarbrücken, for the department of theoretical solid-state physics.

In 1974 he joined the executive board of Kernforschungszentrum Karlsruhe GmbH , which was expanded to five people , with responsibility for “New Technologies and Basic Research”. In the same year he taught as a visiting professor in the physics department of the University of Geneva . In 1976 he was honorary professor for physics at the University of Karlsruhe (TH), today's Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT). In the year of his retirement, 1994, he received an honorary doctorate for philosophy ( literary studies ) from the Ludwig Maximilians University in Munich .

From 1953 he was with the now deceased physicist Christine Klose, born cumin, daughter of Otto cumin , an East Asia - art historian , married. The marriage resulted in a son (* 1955) and a daughter (* 1958). The family background of his wife brought Wolfgang Klose to an intensive occupation with East Asian, mainly Japanese , culture and art, so that he became a sought-after speaker and occasional article author in this field.

Technical articles

Between 1956 and 1982 Wolfgang Klose published many specialist articles on semiconductors , superconductors and solids in almost all well-known physics journals. Between 1983 and 1991 the focus shifted towards nuclear technology , environmental technology and microtechnology . He was a physics editor at Zentralblatt für Mathematik and a member of the editorial board of the Zeitschrift für Physik . After his retirement he devoted his magazine articles to art and culture, especially the Japanese.
