Vadim Lvovich Berezinsky

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Vadim Lvovich Beresinski ( Russian Вадим Львович Березинский , Ukrainian Вадим Львович Березинський / Wadym Lwowytsch Beresynskyj , English transcription Vadim Berezinskii * 15. July 1935 in Kiev ; † 23. June 1980 ) was a Ukrainian-Soviet physicist.

Berezinsky studied physics at Lomonosov University with a degree in 1959 and received his doctorate in 1963. As a doctoral student, he was at the Moscow Institute of Physical Engineering. He then worked from 1963 at the Moscow Textile Institute and from 1968 at the Research Institute for Thermal Power Plant Measuring Instruments in Moscow (НИИтеплоприбор). From 1977 he was at the Landau Institute .

Independently of David J. Thouless and John M. Kosterlitz (and one year earlier), he introduced the original model of a topological phase transition , the Kosterlitz-Thouless transition , which is sometimes also named after Beresinski. He used this as a model for thin layers of superfluid helium (Helium 4).

He also worked on superfluid helium 3, surface plasmons, and localization in disordered electronic systems (such as disordered one-dimensional conductors).

He died in 1980 after a long illness.
