Discussion journal of the Mössbauer Community

[Ralf Röhlsberger <ralf.roehlsberger AT desy.de>]

Dear colleagues,

it is my sad duty to inform you that our IBAME honorary member and 
former IBAME chair Philipp Gütlich passed away on 9 September 2022 at 
the age of 88.

Besides his family, he devoted his life to science where he made seminal 
contributions in the fields of electronic structure of transition metal 
compounds, surface physics and chemistry, and he fostered the industrial 
application of the Mössbauer effect.He held several guest professorships 
all over the world and received honorary doctoral degrees for his 
scientific accomplishments and merits for international collaborations 
from the Universities of Budapest and Toho-University Tokyo.

The international Mössbauer community loses not only an excellent 
scientist and committed teacher, but also a friend and colleague who, 
with immense dedication, advanced the applications of the Mössbauer 
effect in a diversity of research fields. He will be dearly missed.

A detailed obituary will be posted at a later time.

Our heartfelt sympathies are with his wife Angelika and family.

In deep sorrow,

Ralf Röhlsberger
