Fritz Aldinger

Fritz Aldinger ( born April 30, 1941 in Marbach am Neckar) is a German materials scientist.

Life

Fritz Aldinger received his Abitur at the Gymnasium in Heilbronn Justinus Kerner. From 1961 he studied at first then chemistry at the University of Stuttgart, but moved to the bachelor's degree in the subject metallurgy. The former Chair of Physical Metallurgy, Werner Köster, was also the director of the Max Planck Institute for Metals Research. The work both for his thesis and for his thesis he carried out in the laboratories of the Max Planck Institute for Metals Research. He received his doctorate in 1967 at the University of Stuttgart with a dissertation "On the structure of the four-component system silver-copper - zinc - cadmium ".

From 1967 to 1978, Aldinger research associate at the Max Planck Institute for Metals Research, where the powder Metallurgical Laboratory ( PML) headed the Institute. From 1978 to 1985 Head of the metals in the toilet Heraeus GmbH, Hanau. In 1985 Aldinger as director of the Central Research Hoechst AG. From 1992 until his retirement he was a director at the Max Planck Institute for Metals Research and at the same time in personal union Professor of " Nonmetallic Inorganic Materials" at the Universität Stuttgart.

Scientifically, Aldinger dealt with numerous topics: he has " developed fundamental contributions to the calculation of phase relations in higher multi-component systems and thus contributed to their breakthrough computer-based, computational detection ". Furthermore, he succeeded in his time at the PML elucidate deformation anomalies of beryllium. His publication list includes over 600 titles and more than 50 basic patents and patent holdings. Extensive research that found worldwide attention, he has also presented the " Precursor ", in which he was able to shed significant correlations between the structure of the molecular precursors used and the resulting ceramic materials.

The database " Highly Cited " by the Institute for Scientific Information leads him in their list of the world's most cited scientists in each case 250 in the category Materials Sciences.
