Hermann, Carl

Two German physical chemists, W. Sehottky and C. Wagner, founded this branch of materials seience. The story is very clearly set out in a biographical memoir of Carl Wagner (1901 1977) by another pioneer solid-state chemist, Hermann Schmalzried (1991), and also in Wagner s own survey of point defects and their interaction (Wagner 1977) - his last publieation. Sehottky we have already briefly met in connection with the Pohl school s study of colour centres...

Hermann Schmitz, Paul Haefliger, Von Schnitzler, and five others stood convicted only for plundering other industries. Von Schnitzler s admissions did not mean anything, even against himself. None of the directors was censured for abetting and waging an aggressive war — not even Carl Krauch. 

Carl Krauch, Fritz ter Meer, Heinrich Buetefisch, and Christian Schneider are "advising" in the production of synthetic rubber and synthetic gasoline for "peacetime purposes." Often they visit at the home of Hermann Schmitz, living "in retirement" at Wesel am Rhein. From time to time Ter Meer acts as expert for the Bonn government.

I am grateful to Carl Hermann Christmann, a certified building engineer, for this information. 

Haber demonstrated that the production of ammonia from the elements was feasible in the laboratory, but it was up to Carl Bosch, a chemist and engineer at BASF, to transform the process into large-scale production. The industrial converter that Bosch and his coworkers created was completely revised, including a cheaper and more effective catalyst based on extensive studies in high-pressure catalytic reactions. This approach led to Bosch receiving the Nobel Prize in chemistry in 1931, and the production of multimillion tons of fertilizer per year worldwide, see also Agricultural Chemistry Catalysis and Catalysts Equilibrium Le Chatelier, Henri Nernst, Walther Hermann Ostwald, Friedrich Wilhelm.

Kurt Beringer (1893-1949), an associate of Carl Jung and Hermann Hesse, published a description of his mescaline studies in 1927—Der Meskalinrausch (The Mescaline Inebriation). One of his subjects became fascinated with trying to put the "furious succession of mescaline images on film later, Walt Disney hired him as the chief visualist for Fantasia. 

Wilhelm Carl Werner Otto Fritz Franz Wien (1864-1928) became an assistant to Hermann v. Helmholtz at the Physikalisch-Technische Reichsanstalt in Berlin in 1890. It was there that he discovered the displacement law in 1893, and also published an equation for M s in 1896, that only slightly differed from Planck s law. Wien became Professor of Physics at the TH in Aachen in 1896, moved in 1899 to become a professor in Wurzburg, and once again changed to the University of Munich in 1920. In 1911 he was awarded the Nobel prize for Physics as an acknowledgement of his work on thermal radiation.

It consisted of Julius Holtz as treasurer, Emil Jacobsen and Otto Witt (who would collaborate on the humorous songs to be sung at the banquet), Carl Martius, Carl Scheibler, and Hermann Wichelhaus—all members of the executive committee of the DCG. The full report on the Benzolfest is Schultz, "Bericht" (1890). The celebration is also described in Anschutz, 1 615-41, and analyzed by Schiemenz, "Heretical Look," and by Rudofsky, "Benzolfest" (1993). 

Schmalzried, Hermann (1932-) is an exception to the rule. Formerly a postdoc with Carl Wagner, Hermann has been a mentor and inspiration to many of the current generation of researchers in the field of solid-state reactions in ceramic systems and is profusely thanked by the authors.

Heidelberg 1863, professor of chemical technology in the University of Berlin (1871-1916 I attended his lectures in 1912), published mainly on organic and technical chemistry (dyes, sugar) Schlenk, Ber., 1927, lx, 59A (portr.). 

German industrial chemist. Bergius worked with Hermann Nemst at Berlin and Fritz Haber at Karlsruhe, where he became interested in high-pressure chemical reactions. He is noted for his development of the BERGIUS PROCESS. He shared the Nobel Prize for chemistry with Carl Bosch in 1931.
