Leona Esaki, conosciuto come Leo Esaki (江崎 玲於奈?, Esaki Reona) (Ōsaka, 12 marzo 1925), è un fisico giapponese, insignito, insieme a Ivar Giaever, del premio Nobel per la fisica nel 1973, «per le loro scoperte sperimentali riguardanti i fenomeni di tunneling nei semiconduttori e superconduttori».
Reona Esaki (江崎 玲於奈 Esaki Reona, born March 12, 1925), also known as Leo Esaki, is a Japanese physicist who shared the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1973 with Ivar Giaever and Brian David Josephson for his work in electron tunneling in semiconductor materials which finally led to his invention of the Esaki diode, which ...
The IBM researcher earned the Nobel Prize for his discoveries in electron tunneling and changed the consumer electronics industry. When Leo Esaki first visited IBM’s Yorktown headquarters in 1959, he knew the company had big ambitions. “There was a strong feeling of growth,” Esaki later told THINK magazine. “There was an aura of, ‘We ...
Since 1969, Esaki has, with his colleagues, pioneered “designed semiconductor quantum structures” such as man-made superlattices, exploring a new quantum regime in the frontier of semiconductor physics. The Nobel Prize in Physics (1973) was awarded in recognition of his pioneering work on electron tunneling in solids.
