  • Theodore „Ted“ David Holstein (* 18. September 1915 in New York City; † 8. Mai 1985) war ein US-amerikanischer theoretischer Physiker (Festkörperphysik, Atomphysik). Holstein studierte an der New York University mit dem Bachelor-Abschluss 1935 und wurde dort 1940 mit der Arbeit Passage of Neutrons through Ferromagnetic Materials bei Otto Halpern promoviert (1936 erhielt er einen Master-Abschluss an der Columbia University). Ab 1941 war er Physiker bei den Forschungslaboratorien der Westinghouse Electric Corporation. Er wurde dort 1942 Research Physicist, 1949 Advanced Physicist und 1952 Consulting Physicist. 1960 verließ er Westinghouse und wurde Professor an der University of Pittsburgh. 1965 wurde er Professor an der University of California, Los Angeles. Mit Henry Primakoff führte er 1940 die Holstein-Primakoff-Transformation ein. Sie ist für die Theorie der Spinwellen von Bedeutung. In der Atomphysik behandelte er 1947 als Erster den Einfang von Resonanzstrahlung in Gasen korrekt (später angewandt in Laserphysik, Astrophysik und Photochemie, fand aber auch Anwendung auf Phononen und im Festkörper). Weitere bedeutende Arbeiten waren über das Polaron (Einführung des small polaron), die Absorption von Metallen im Infraroten, eine mikroskopische Theorie des collision drag Phänomens von Brian Pippard (Mitnahme der Fermifläche durch die Ultraschallwelle in der Theorie der Absorption von Ultraschall), über Bloch-Elektronen in magnetischen Feldern (Hall-Effekt) und sein Übersichtsartikel über die Transporteigenschaften in einem Elektron-Phonon-Gas. Er korrigierte die Förster-Dexter-Theorie des photoinduzierten Energietransfers zwischen Molekülen und fand neue Mechanismen für Energietransfer in ungeordneten Systemen. 1976 wurde er Mitglied der American Academy of Arts and Sciences, 1981 der National Academy of Sciences.

With Henry Primakoff in 1940 he introduced the Holstein-Primakoff transformation. It is important for the theory of spin waves. His most notable contribution to atomic physics was in 1947 when he was the first to treat the capture of resonance radiation in gases correctly (later applied in laser physics, astrophysics and photochemistry, but was also applied to phonons and in the solid state). Other significant papers included the polaron (introduction of the small polaron), infrared absorption of metals, a microscopic theory of the collision drag phenomenon by Brian Pippard, in magnetic fields (Hall effect) and his review on the transport properties in an electron-phonon gas. He corrected the Förster-Dexter theory of photoinduced energy transfer between molecules and found new mechanisms for energy transfer in disordered systems. He became a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and the National Academy of Sciences in 1976 and 1981, respectively. (en)
