Introduction What is a Random Walk? 1. Slide 4 1. Introduction What
is a Random Walk? 2. Other Scientists, Females, Accidents,
Scattering Centers Internal working of U. Gsele Structure of
scattering entities A contribution to Gselogy Slide 5 No real
scattering. Nevertheless important for final outcome. 1.
Introduction What is a Random Walk? Slide 6 1. Introduction What is
a Random Walk? 3. How far did he go? Metrics? End Slide 7 Theorem
No 2: Uli is smarter than I 2. Nucleation Studying Physics in
Stuttgart being 18 years old (and probably you) (Avoided military!)
Theorem No 1: Uli is smart 1968 First close interaction with H. Fll
(Quantum Theory Exercise) Theorem No 4: Made snotty but irrefutable
remarks all his life. The Mozart incident Theorem No 3: Uli is
generous and shares. Slide 8 2. Nucleation 1974 Nucleation
concluded. Random walk starts. Uli definitely confused if not
inebriated. Or just newly wed? Slide 9 First strong scattering
center: 3. Scattering Scattering centers: 1. The females of the
species (weak until 1974) Theorem No 5: Uli is a motivator. Gets
people do do what he wants and to enjoy it! trapping Julia Gsele (+
Andrea Gsele after phase separation) Slide 10 3. Scattering PhD in
May 75 Married, with child Weak scattering center from the past
First example of major non-scattering event! Psi (= psychic power)
helps: Kraution (= cabbage-ion = Crowdion) discovered Slide 11 3.
Scattering Next major scattering center: Me! Andrea Gsele Slide 12
3. Scattering UG without me Slide 13 3. Scattering My major
achievement with respect to semiconductor science UG with me Slide
14 3. Scattering Random walk in Schnbuch Forest Theorem No 6: Uli
Gsele is a great friend and one should always heed his advice Slide
15 3. Scattering > 150 pages Theorem No 7: Uli Gsele, when
facing tough problems, comes up with unconventional solutions that
often work (but may not always find the approval of the timid).
Theorem No 8.He always knew what his priorities were. Slide 16 3.
Scattering Theorem No 7: Uli Gsele, when facing tough problems,
comes up with unconventional solutions that actually work but may
not always find the approval of the timid. Theorem No 8.He always
knew what his priorities were. Theorem No 9.Uli Gsele always looked
ahead and does long-term planning. Do you understand that we will
turn 30 years old in a few month? We now need only to persevere for
about another 30 years, then we will have made it. Slide 17 3.
Scattering Second example of momentous non-scattering event in 1979
! In March (1979) I applied with tremendous effort + presentation
for a professorship at the technical School here. Im on second
place and number one accepted. My topic was Acoustic protection
against external noise; I did learn quite a bit about walls,
shutters containers, . Theorem No 7: Uli Gsele, when facing tough
problems, comes up with unconventional solutions Once more! Slide
18 3. Scattering IBM Yorktown Heights Next major scattering center:
The Yu Tan Once more! Slide 19 3. Scattering No major scattering
from 1981 - 1984 (not possible in 1-dim Crowdion space) Instead
strong non-linearities around Habilitation in 1980
Habilitation-hat??? Slide 20 3. Scattering Next major scattering
center: Siemens / Munich Move to Munich without (increased) family
Arno Schmidt Uli still wanted to become a Professor! Slide 21 3.
Scattering Next major scattering center: Siemens / Munich More
important: and H. Fll (third time!) We did not only drink beer:
Slide 22 3. Scattering Uli gets scattered by art V. Lehmann Goethe
und die Theoretische Elektrotechnik Slide 23 3. Scattering That
hurt! Slide 24 3. Scattering That really hurt! We just got the
first patent on porous Si for active semiconductors. I hope that
the effort will pay off.) (Letter from Nov. 3rd, 1992 No! Slide 25
3. Scattering U. Gsele (in Halle) and H. Fll (in Kiel) scatter once
more: Photonic Crystal Initiative Theorem No 7: Uli Gsele, when
facing tough problems, comes up with unconventional solutions that
actually work but may not always find the approval of the timid.
Theorem No 10: Uli Gsele has a way with friends and people and is a
shrewd judge of character. Last scattering event to be investigated
here: Slide 26 Theorem No 2: Uli is smarter than I (and you)
Theorem No 1: Uli is smart Theorem No 4: Uli made snotty but
irrefutable remarks all his life. Theorem No 3: Uli is generous and
shares. Theorem No 5: Uli is a motivator. Gets people do do what he
wants and to enjoy it. Theorem No 6: Uli is a great friend and one
should always heed his advice. Theorem No 7: Uli, when facing tough
problems, comes up with unconventional solutions that often work
(but may not always find the approval of the timid). Theorem No
8.Uli knows what his priorities are. Theorem No 9.Uli always looked
ahead and does long-term planning (like his retirement) Theorem No
10: Uli Gsele has a way with people and is a shrewd judge of
character. 3. Scattering - Summary of First Results Slide 27 4.
Diffusion Length What kind of Metrics should one use in Gselogy?
Number of publications? Number of Citations? No! My metrics that I
will announce with full confidence in the correctness of my own
judgment are: Uli about H. Fll Average increase of blood pressure
induced in colleagues? The most important measure of Uli Gseles
diffusion length is the Number of people that were scattered by
him. Slide 28 4. Diffusion Length A rather large number of people
came out of that encounter as better scientists if not better and
happier people Im one of them! Uli - Thanks for having been my
friend and colleague for many years in the past! (and, I hope, for
many years to come) Slide 29 Slide 30 Sara sends her Best Wishes!
