Lev Landau

Lev Davidovich Landau (Russian language: ???? ?????????? ???????) (January 22, 1908 – April 1, 1968) was a prominent Soviet physicist and winner of the Nobel Prize in Physics whose broad field of work included the theory of superconductivity and superfluidity, quantum electrodynamics, nuclear physics and particle physics. He developed the theory of second order phase transitions. Among many physical effects named after Landau are Landau pole and Landau damping. He co-authored, with Evgenii Lifschitz, a beloved series of physics texts which are still widely used as of 2005.
