About Hosemann (source: wikipedia):
Rolf Hosemann (* 20. April 1912 in Rostock; † 28. September 1994 in Berlin) was a German physicist who laid the mathematical foundations for the theory of the paracrystal.
He studied at the University of Marburg and at the University of Freiburg. In 1936 he received his doctorate in Freiburg. He had received the topic of his dissertation, the radioactivity of samarium, from his academic teacher George de Hevesy, who had to leave Germany in 1934 because of his Jewish descent. In 1939 he received his habilitation with a thesis on small-angle X-ray scattering on cellulose. In 1951 he became a research assistant to Max von Laue at the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute for Physical Chemistry and Electrochemistry in Berlin, later the Fritz Haber Institute. In 1960 he was put in charge of his own department at the Fritz Haber Institute, and in 1966 the Max Planck Society appointed him as a scientific member. He retired in 1980.
Around 1950 he founded the theory of the paracrystal.
The Department of Chemistry at the Free University of Berlin awarded him the February 1974 received an honorary doctorate in recognition of his contributions to the development of theoretical crystallography, in particular the theory of the paracrystal, and his fundamental work on the structure of macromolecules.[1] Hosemann was with Ursula (née Siebold) married, with whom he had four sons.
