The institute was among the earliest established by the Kaiser Wilhelm Society, and its inauguration was one of the first steps in the development of Berlin-Dahlem into a center for scientific research. Its establishment was made possible by an endowment from Leopold Koppel, granted on the condition that Fritz Haber, well-known for his discovery of a method to synthesize ammonia from its elements, be made its director. The history of the institute has largely paralleled that of 20th-century Germany. It undertook controversial weapons research during World War I, followed by a "Golden Era" during the 1920's, in spite of financial hardships. Under the National Socialists it experienced a purge of its scientific staff and a diversion of its research into the service of the new regime, accompanied by a breakdown in its international relations. In the immediate aftermath of World War II it suffered crippling material losses, from which it recovered slowly in the post-war era. In 1953, shortly after taking the name of its founding director, the institute joined the fledgling Max Planck Society. During the 1950's and 60's, the institute supported diverse researches into the structure of matter and electron microscopy in a territorially insular and politically precarious West-Berlin. In subsequent decades, as both Berlin and the Max Planck Society underwent significant changes, the institute reorganized around a board of coequal scientific directors and a renewed focus on the investigation of elementary processes on surfaces and interfaces, topics of research that had been central to the work of Fritz Haber and the first "Golden Era" of the institute. 606 $aElectrochemistry$xResearch$zGermany$xHistory 606 $aPhysics$xResearch$zGermany$xHistory 610 $aHistory of Chemistry. 610 $aPhysical Chemistry. 615 0$aElectrochemistry$xResearch$xHistory. 615 0$aPhysics$xResearch$xHistory. 676 $a541/.37072043 700 $aJames$b Jeremiah, $4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0949714 701 $aJames$b Jeremiah 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910320751503321 996 $aOne hundred years at the intersection of chemistry and physics$92146618 997 $aUNINA
