Matti Krusius

Matti Krusius (born October 12, 1942 in Helsinki ) is a Finnish low-temperature physicist and professor at Aalto University (Lounasmaa Labor) in Helsinki.

Krusius studied physical engineering in Helsinki with Olli Lounasmaa with a diploma in 1967 and a doctorate in 1973. He taught at the University of Turku and at Aalto University.

He deals with superfluids and especially with topological stimuli (eddies).

In 1999 he received the Fritz London Memorial Prize for his innovative use of rotation combined with NMR to study various properties of superfluid helium 3, including the texture of the order parameter, the structure, pinning, and the collective behavior of a series of vortices, the critical velocity in the case of rotation, the effect of the movement on the phase boundary between A and B phase and the systematics of the nucleation of eddies under neutron irradiation (laudation).

In 1994 he became a Fellow of the American Physical Society for contributions to low-temperature physics including the vortex structures of superfluid helium 3, acoustic and magnetic studies of superfluid helium 3 and spin-polarized hydrogen (laudatory speech).

In 1981 he became a member of the Finnish Academy of Sciences and has been a member of the Academia Europaea since 1998 .
