Sadao Nakajima (physicist)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sadao Nakajima ( Japanese 中 嶋 貞 雄 , Nakajima Sadao ; * 1923 in Shizuoka Prefecture ; † December 14, 2008 ) was a Japanese physicist.

Nakajima graduated from the University of Tokyo in September 1945. He taught and researched from 1950 to 1961 at the University of Nagoya and then at the Institute of Solid State Physics (ISSP) at the University of Tokyo. In 1984 he retired.

He dealt with electron-phonon interaction (as the basis of the theory of superconductivity) and introduced paramagnons into the theory of superfluid of He3. In the statistical mechanics of irreversible processes, the Nakajima twenty equation is named after him and Robert Zwanzig .

Nakajima was the founder of the International Symposium on the Foundation of Quantum Mechanics in the Light of New Technology (ISQM) in 1983 with the director of the central research laboratories of Hitachi Takeda. Until 1995 he chaired the ISQM conferences.
