The Berezinskii–Kosterlitz–Thouless (BKT) transition is a phase transition of the two-dimensional (2-D) XY model in statistical physics.It is a transition from bound vortex-antivortex pairs at low temperatures to unpaired vortices and anti-vortices at some critical temperature.
It is one of the five Nobel Prizes established by the 1895 will of Alfred Nobel (who died in 1896), awarded for outstanding contributions in physics. [1] As dictated by Nobel's will, the award is administered by the Nobel Foundation and awarded by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences. [ 2 ]
Kenneth Geddes "Ken" Wilson (June 8, 1936 – June 15, 2013) was an American theoretical physicist and a pioneer in using computers for studying particle physics. He was awarded the 1982 Nobel Prize in Physics for his work on phase transitions—illuminating the subtle essence of phenomena like melting ice and emerging magnetism.
Abraham Pais Prize for History of Physics: American Physical Society and American Institute of Physics: Scholarly achievements in the history of physics [1] United States: Andrei Sakharov Prize: American Physical Society: Leadership and/or achievements of scientists in upholding human rights United States: Aneesur Rahman Prize for Computational ...
The 1995 Nobel Prizes were awarded by the Nobel Foundation, based in Sweden. Six categories were awarded: Physics, Chemistry, Physiology or Medicine, Literature, Peace, and Economic Sciences. [1] Nobel Week took place from December 6 to 12, including programming such as lectures, dialogues, and discussions.
Michael Kosterlitz was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2016, “for theoretical discoveries of topological phase transitions and topological phases of matter”; [9] the Maxwell Medal and Prize from the British Institute of Physics in 1981, and the Lars Onsager Prize from the American Physical Society in 2000, especially, for his work on ...
The Nobel Prize in Physics (Swedish: Nobelpriset i fysik) is awarded annually by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences to scientists who have made outstanding contributions in Physics. [1] It is one of the five Nobel Prizes which were established by the will of Alfred Nobel in 1895.
They received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1972 for this theory. In 1986, high-temperature superconductivity was discovered in La-Ba-Cu-O, at temperatures up to 30 K. [6] Following experiments determined more materials with transition temperatures up to about 130 K, considerably above the previous limit of about 30 K. It is experimentally very ...
