Informationen zum Autor Len Dissado studied chemistry at University College London, obtaining a First Class degree in 1963 and a PhD in 1966. He subsequently developed the theory of excitons and exciton-phonon interactions in molecular crystals at the Research School of Chemistry, ANU, Canberra, Australia. Since 1977, when he joined the Department of Physics at Chelsea College, University of London, his major interest has centred on the topic of dielectrics. When he became a consultant to Standard Telecommunications Laboratories (STL) in 1981, his interests expanded to cover the field of dielectric breakdown. He has published over 100 scientific papers on a wide range of topics and was awarded the degree of DSc in 1990 by the University of London.
