Hermann Arthur Jahn (b. 31 May 1907, Colchester, England; d. 24 October 1979 Southampton) was an English scientist of German origin.[1] With Edward Teller, he was responsible for identifying the Jahn-Teller effect.[2]
Jahn received a B.Sc. in Chemistry at University College, London in 1928. He received his Ph.D. on 14 February 1935 under the supervision of Werner Heisenberg at the University of Leipzig. The title of his dissertation was "The rotation and oscillation of the methane molecule".[3]
