Karl Herzfeld

Karl Ferdinand Herzfeld ( born February 24, 1892 in Vienna, † June 3, 1978 in Washington, DC) was a physicist.

Life

Herzfeld studied in Vienna, Zurich and Göttingen. At the University of Vienna he received his doctorate in 1914 at Friedrich Hasenohrl.

After five years he was a lecturer at Arnold Sommerfeld and Kasimir Fajans at the University of Munich, he became in 1925 associate professor at the University of Munich.

In 1926, he was initially responsible for a visiting professor at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland. This position was converted to a regular position. He remained there until 1937, when he joined the Catholic University of America in Washington, DC

Walter Heitler earned his doctorate under him at the University of Munich, John Archibald Wheeler at Johns Hopkins University.
