Gerhard Dickel ( 28 October 1913 – 3 November 2017 ) was a German chemist and
physicist .He developed a thermal dispersal method of separating isotopes with Klaus
Clusius in 1938 , sometimes referred to as Clusius-Dickel breakup .== Biography == He was
born in Augsburg .He studied under Clusius at the Institute for Physical alchemy of the
Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich .Clusius and Dickel published a paper in 1938
announcing that they had separated isotopes of neon .They had discovered that the
normally inefficient thermic diffusion method – where isotopes in a fluid diffuse towards
opposing hotter and colder regions – could comprise improved by more than four orders of
magnitude if there was also an optimal convection electric current between the
neighborhood to deflect a steadily assiduousness gradient and `` support diffusion ''
developing .In 1939 , the yr Dickel defended his PhD dissertation , the pair announced that
they had also separated isotopes of chlorine with the same cognitive operation .It was
explored on a tumid scale in the USA during World warfare II as a potential method for
separating uranium-235 from the more abundant uranium-238 in parliamentary procedure
to take a leak an atomic bomb ( the more-efficient gaseous diffusion was eventually chosen )
.Dickel became a backup man manager of the Institute for Physical interpersonal chemistry ,
followed by a position as adjunct professor .In 1957 , he became head of section at the
university 's Physics Institute .The same year he received the Bodenstein dirty money from
the German Bunsen guild for Physical interpersonal chemistry , for workplace on isotope
rally and on dissemination in gases and colloidal gel .He retired in 1978 .He died in 2017 ,
aged 104 .== reference book ==
