Heinz Artur Raether (born October 14, 1909 in Nuremberg , † December 31, 1986 in Aumühle near Hamburg) was a German physicist.
From 1944 to 1946 he was a professor of physics at the University of Jena at the Physikalisches Institut.[1] Here he dealt with electron physics, electron microscopy, electron interference and gas discharges.[2]
In 1951 he took over the management of the Institute for Applied Physics at the University of Hamburg. After the development of the transistor, it should be reoriented to solid state physics. He dealt with questions about the structure and growth of crystals. Later he became interested in the collective behavior of the electrons of a crystal, the solid-state electron plasma . In gas discharge physics, he devoted himself to the ignition process, especially the formation of the spark channel, the initial phase of electrical breakdown. In 1963 he was elected a full member of the Göttingen Academy of Sciences.[3] In 1979 he was elected a member of the Academy of Sciences Leopoldina.
