Wolfgang Nolting (physicist)

Wolfgang Nolting (born March 13, 1944 in Magdeburg ) is a German physicist and works in the field of solid-state theory at the Humboldt University in Berlin . The focus of his research is the theory of magnetism .

Nolting studied physics at the University of Münster , where he received his doctorate in 1972. This was followed by a research stay at the ETH Zurich and, in 1978, his habilitation in Münster. After professorships in Würzburg , Münster and at the Universidad de Valladolid in Spain, he has been professor at Humboldt University since 1994. After his retirement in 2009, he continues to work as a senior professor at Humboldt University.

Wolfgang Nolting became known, among other things, through his series of textbooks Basic Course: Theoretical Physics , which has meanwhile achieved the rank of a standard work in physicist training.
