INTRODUCTORY REMARKS

Jan Czochralski (1885-1953) was born in Kcynia (PaXuki, Poland), and died un-expectedly in Pozna], after former Polish secret service action while at home [2,8]. Both towns are located in Greater Poland—in this region a special ethos of well-done work is often seen as an added value. Czochralski was born in Kcynia in 1885 when the small but old town belonged to the German part of the occupied Polish territory. At about 1903/1904 he left Kcynia commencing this way his own and independent, though really difficult adventure of becoming internationally recognized and famous researcher. Let us assume that by the present study, the whole life story of Professor Czochralski is explainable to an educated person by his record of the research per-formed since one hundred years ago, and then until 1940 [1], fairly synthetized by FIGURE provided, and juxtaposed more carefully in a formal form of TABLE in-cluded. The practical type of research performed insightfully by Czochralski [2] was an exceptional masterpiece of those times because it has actually been done by a “freshman”, or as the German people used to say, an Autodidakt. That is to say, a gifted and dilligent person who was able, being formally not really well educated, to teach himself; he was then capable of taking direct practical profit from such self-experienced teaching [2]. It is fair to emphasize that Jan Czochralski was a person who achieved a for-mal success in research, and its applications, at least in three subdisciplines o
