Reinhold Kleiner is professor for experimental solid-state physics at the University of Tübingen, Germany. He studied physics at the Technical University of Munich, and received his Ph D with a thesis on high temperature superconductors. After spending two years at the University of California at Berkeley, he returned to Germany. His research interests include superconductivity and magnetism. Werner Buckel (1920–2003) was Professor at the Technical University of Karlsruhe and established the Institute for Superconductivity at the Research Center in Jülich. Among other honorary positions, Professor Buckel was president of the German Physical Society and the European Physical Society and was a member of the Heidelberg Academy of the Sciences and the Leibnitz Society, Berlin.
