Volker Lehmann: An Unconventional Scientist

摘要

It is generally known that Volker Lehmann has made numerous important contributions to the science and technology of the various forms of porous silicon. Less well known is that he started his education in the world of art and that he kept this interest alive, even after a professional career in engineering, materials science, physics and electrochemistry. In addition he was an athlete, enjoying all kinds of sports and physical challenges. The paper will be based upon the personal experience of the authors who worked directly with Volker Lehmann or in related fields of research for over two decades.
