Leo Esaki, vero nome Reona 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 exploited that ...
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 ...
