Lev Landau, Russian physicist
Lev Landau, Russian physicist, born in Baku, Azerbaijan on January 22, 1908, died in Moscow, April 1, 1968. Landau obtained his Ph.D. at the age of 19, after which he travelled abroad, visiting Gottingen, Leipzig, studying with Bohr in Copenhagen & Rutherford in Cambridge. In 1935, he pioneered a mathematical treatment of magnetic domains; in 1937 he began working with Kapitza in Moscow on low-temperature physics. Landaus work for the next two decades involved explanations of the behaviour of isotopes of helium at extremely low temperatures in terms of quantum mechanics. For his work on helium-3, he was awarded the 1962 Nobel Prize in physics

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the brilliance and legacy of Lev Landau, a renowned Russian physicist. Born in Baku, Azerbaijan on January 22,1908, Landau's intellectual journey began at an early age. Remarkably, he obtained his Ph. D. when he was just 19 years old. Landau's thirst for knowledge led him to travel abroad and study under some of the greatest minds of his time. He visited prestigious institutions such as Gottingen and Leipzig before immersing himself in the teachings of Bohr in Copenhagen and Rutherford in Cambridge. In 1935, Landau made a groundbreaking contribution to science by pioneering a mathematical treatment of magnetic domains. Two years later, he embarked on an influential collaboration with Kapitza in Moscow focused on low-temperature physics. For the next two decades, Landau dedicated himself to unraveling the mysteries behind helium isotopes' behavior at extremely low temperatures using quantum mechanics principles. His exceptional work on helium-3 earned him the prestigious Nobel Prize in Physics in 1962. Lev Landau's portrait reflects not only his remarkable achievements but also his enduring impact as a pioneer and innovator within the scientific community. As we gaze upon this image captured by Science Photo Library, we are reminded of Landau's profound contributions to our understanding of cryogenics and magnetic domains—a true luminary whose name will forever be synonymous with excellence in physics.
