Alexander Fyodorowitsch Andrejew
Alexander Fjodorowitsch Andrejew ( Russian Александр Фёдорович Андреев ; born December 10, 1939 in Leningrad , Soviet Union ) is a Russian physicist . One of his greatest scientific achievements was the prediction of the scattering of quasiparticles at the interface of superconductors, known as the Andreev reflection .
Life
Andrejew studied at the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology with a diploma in 1961 ( sound absorption in weak He3-He2 solutions ). In 1964 he received his doctorate at the Kapiza Institute ( low-temperature properties of thermal transport ) and his habilitation in 1968 (Russian doctorate) with the thesis Theoretical investigation of the transition state of superconductors . From 1979 he was professor at the Moscow Institute for Physics and Technology and from 1990 director of the Kapitza Institute for physical problems.
Honors, memberships, editorial work
In 1986 he received the Lenin Prize and in 1984 the Lomonosov Prize . In 1987 he received the Carus Medal of the Leopoldina. In 2004 he received the Pomeranchuk Prize , in 1999 the Kapiza Gold Medal of the Russian Academy of Sciences, in 1995 the British Simon Memorial Prize and in 2006 the John Bardeen International Prize. He has multiple honorary doctorates (Leiden, University of Kazan). He is an honorary member of the Joffe Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences. In 1992 he was Lorentz Professor at the University of Leiden.
The asteroid (4420) Alandreev , discovered on August 15, 1936, was named after him in July 2000, composed of a first and last name. Alexander Andrejew has been Vice President of the Russian Academy of Sciences since 1991 , of which he has been a corresponding member since 1981 and a full member since 1987. He is also an external member of the Polish, Finnish, Ukrainian and Georgian Academy of Sciences. With Ilja Lifschitz , he predicted suprasolidity in 1969 and he worked with Lifschitz on quantum diffusion and quantum crystals.
He is chairman of the Scientific Council for Low Temperature Physics.
Alexander Andrejew is editor-in-chief of the Journal of Experimental and Theoretical Physics (JETP) and the popular science journal Priroda (Natur) of the Russian Academy of Sciences, whose Demidov Prize he received in 2011.
