Malvin Ruderman
Malvin Avram Ruderman (* 1927 in New York City ) is an American physicist.
Ruderman studied physics at Columbia University ( bachelor's degree 1945) and received his PhD from Caltech in 1951 . He was later a professor at Columbia University. In 1972/73 he was at the Institute for Advanced Study . Ruderman was mainly concerned with neutron stars . After a collaboration with Charles Kittel in 1954 (and independent work by Tadao Kasuya, Kei Yosida), the RKKY form of the interaction of nuclear spins (or the spins of internal electrons in d- or f-shells ) in metals is named indirectly takes place via the conduction electrons. Originally they wanted to explain the broad nuclear magnetic resonance in silver metals.
He was a member of the JASON Defense Advisory Group . He is a member of the National Academy of Sciences (1972), the American Academy of Arts and Sciences (1974), the American Association for the Advancement of Science and the American Philosophical Society (1996). He received the Pregel Award from the New York Academy of Sciences .
