Editorial Staff quick search Search Physics World Physics World June 2002 Lev Landau: physicist and revolutionary Feature: June 2002 A near-fatal accident 40 years ago robbed theoretical physics of one its greatest minds. Although Lev Landau was never to work again, he was awarded the Nobel prize later that year and his legacy lives on to this day. Landau requires no introduction. He is too well known, although not quite as well understood. Several generations of theoretical physicists learned their trade by struggling through the 10 volumes of his famous Course of Theoretical Physics - known colloquially as Landau and Lifshitz - which Landau supervised, although he did not write a single word. Several dozen physicists - some absolutely first-class - continued to identify themselves as members of the Landau school long after they became scientists in their own right. About a dozen landmark results in physics bear his name. If one were to choose his most important breakthroughs, these would probably be his theory of phase transitions (1937), the theory of superfluidity in liquid helium (1941), the Ginzburg-Landau phenomenological theory of superconductivity (1950) and the Landau "Fermi-liquid" theory (1956). But his fame is certainly much greater than these concrete results alone might suggest - even if one were to include other formulae, such as the Landau diamagnetism of free electrons (1930) or Landau damping in plasmas (1946).

Landau, Lev Davidoviè Jeden z ruských geniálních fyzikù, který dokázal vystudovat vysokou školu døíve, než vrstevníci složili maturitu. Jako první dokázal matematicky popsat co jsou to magnetické domény a v èem spoèívá mechanika kvantových stavù. zabýval se usilovnì stavy hmoty pøi extrémnì nízkých teplotách. Pøedpovìdìl supravodivé vlastnosti He-3. Po experimentálním potvrzení dostal v roce 1962 Nobelovu cenu. Spolu s Lifschitzem napsali mnohadílný kurs teoretické fyziky, který se stal jedním z nejlepších na svìtì. Po Landauovi je pojmenována Landauova teorie fázových pøechodù druhého druhu. V roce 1962 mìl vážnou automobilovou nehodu, kterou jen tak tak pøežil, ale posledních 6 let byl upoután na lùžko a nebyl schopen pronést jediného slova.

Lev Davidovich Landau Click here for full size picture (b. Jan. 22, 1908, Baku, Azerbaijan, Russian Empired. April 1, 1968, Moscow), Soviet physicist who worked in such fields as low-temperature physics, atomic and nuclear physics, and solid-state, stellar-energy, and plasma physics. Several physics terms bear his name. He was awarded the 1962 Nobel Prize for Physics. Landau had science-oriented parents. His father was an engineer who worked in the Baku oil industry and his mother a doctor who had at one time done physiological research. Landau was graduated at 13 from the Gymnasium and, because he was too young to go to the university, attended the Baku Economical Technical School. He matriculated in 1922 at Baku University, studying physics and chemistry, and transferred in 1924 to the Leningrad State University, which at that time was the centre of Soviet physics. Graduating in 1927, he continued research at the Leningrad Physico-Technical Institute. Niels Bohr In 1932 Landau went to Kharkov to become the head of the Theoretical Division of the Ukrainian Physico-Technical Institute, a position he combined in 1935 with that of head of the Department of General Physics at the Kharkov A.M. Gorky State University. In Kharkov Landau began to build a Soviet school of theoretical physics, so that Kharkov soon became the centre of theoretical physics in the U.S.S.R. It was also in Kharkov that, with his friend and former student, E.M. Lifshits, he started to write the well-known Course of Theoretical Physics, a set of nine volumes that together span the whole of the subject. His great interest in the teaching of physics is also shown in his plans for a "Course of General Physics" and even a series "Physics for Everybody."

Lev Landau, Prosocialist Prisoner of the Soviet State Gennady Gorelik (Physics Today, May 1995, p. 11-15) Anti-Stalin and prosocialist leaflet A view from the West From the KGB archives Atomic and hydrogen bombs References Alexander Akhiezer's "Recollections of Lev Davidovich Landau" (June 1994, page 35) painted an impressive portrait of the famous Russian theorist. However, two important elements could be added to this picture: the nature of Landau's arrest in 1938 and his participation in the Soviet atomic project. The opportunity to fill in these gaps has been provided by the downfall of Soviet socialism, which resulted in the opening of secret state archives and an increased willingness of former atomic scientists to discuss certain key aspects of their work. Based on my investigations in the Soviet archives, including the KGB archives, and on my oral history research on the Soviet atomic project, I would like to comment on these two aspects of Landau's biography. Anti-Stalin and prosocialist leaflet First, how real were the "anti-Soviet activities and . . . counterrevolutionary leaflet" that Akhiezer reports as charges leveled against Landau by the Soviet authorities?

Bronstein and His Way to Quantum Gravity "... an essential difference between quantum electrodynamics and the quantum theory of the gravitational field." ... References Every contemporary discussion of quantum gravity inevitably includes the so-called Planck values, which are combinations of three fundamental constants: c (the velocity of light), G (the gravitational constant), and h (Planck's constant): x pl c x G y h z where the exponents x, y, z are rational numbers. Depending upon the choice of x, y, z the Planck values can have any dimensionality—length, time, density, and so forth. Today, the Planck values are connected with the quantum limits of general relativity (GR). Such an interpretation of these values is reached in different ways—from arguments within the framework of tentative variants of quantum-gravitational theory to simple dimensional considerations. Because the latter approach does not require any complex theoretical constructions, one can surmise that the quantum-gravitational role of the Planck values may have been known to Planck himself. In reality, however, Planck introduced his

Contents Biography Professorship and later life Books by Landau Books about Landau ... edit Biography “In fact, usually it was sufficient for him to know just the guiding ideas of a study in order to reproduce all its findings.” Lev Davidovich Landau (Ле́в Дави́дович Ланда́у) was born on 22nd January 1908 in Baku, in the family of a petroleum engineer who worked on the Baku oil fields. His mother was a physician and at one time had engaged in scientific work on physiology. Recognized early as a child prodigy , Landau completed his school course at the age of 13. Even then he already was attracted by the exact sciences, and his mathematical ability manifested itself very early. He studied mathematical analysis on his own and later he used to say he hardly remembered a time when he did not know differentiation and integration.
