Sergei Wassiljewitsch Wonsowski
Sergei Vonsovsky , Russian Сергей Васильевич Вонсовский , English transcription Sergey Vonsovsky , (born August 20 . Jul / 2 September 1910 . Greg in Tashkent ; † 11. August 1998 in Yekaterinburg ) was a Russian - Soviet theoretical solid state physicist . He was a professor at the State University of the Urals in Sverdlovsk . He dealt with quantum mechanical many- body theory of the solid and the theory of magnetism .
Wonsowski graduated from the Leningrad State University in 1932 and in the same year went to Sverdlovsk to the Physical-Technical Institute (which later became the Institute of Metal Physics of the Ural Department of the Soviet Academy of Sciences ). In the 1930s he was a colleague and collaborator of Semjon Petrovich Schubin , whose selected works he later edited. In 1939 he became head of the Institute for Metal Physics. In 1943 he completed his habilitation (Russian doctorate) and from 1947 was professor at the State University of the Urals region. From 1971 to 1985 he was director of the Ural Department of the Soviet Academy of Sciences.
He dealt with the theory of ferromagnetism and antiferromagnetism , magnetostriction , the theory of transition metals and superconductivity in transition metals and alloys, and the coexistence of ferromagnetism and superconductivity.
Mikhail Katsnelson is one of his students .
At the end of the 1980s he was one of the few high-ranking academics in the USSR who publicly apologized to Andrei Sakharov for the bad treatment from the official side in the 1970s and 1980s.
He received the Order of Lenin three times , the Order of the Red Banner of Labor twice , was a Hero of Socialist Labor , received the State Prize of the USSR , the S. I. Vawilow Gold Medal and the Demidov Prize . He was a member of the Leopoldina , the Academy of Sciences of the GDR and the Polish Academy of Sciences . In 1975 he became an honorary citizen of Sverdlovsk.
