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 ...
Leo Esaki (born March 12, 1925, Ōsaka, Japan) is a Japanese solid-state physicist and researcher in superconductivity who shared the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1973 with Ivar Giaever and Brian Josephson. Esaki was a 1947 graduate in physics from Tokyo University and immediately joined the Kobe Kogyo company.
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.
Leo Esaki. The Nobel Prize in Physics 1973. Born: 12 March 1925, Osaka, Japan. Affiliation at the time of the award: IBM Thomas J. Watson Research Center, Yorktown Heights, NY, USA. Prize motivation: “for their experimental discoveries regarding tunneling phenomena in semiconductors and superconductors, respectively” Prize share: 1/4. Work.
Esaki won the Nobel Prize in Physics for his work in electron tunneling in solids — research that forever changed the semiconductor industry. By age 48, he was one of the most respected research physicists in the world and a godfather of home computing.
The 1973 Nobel Prize for physics has been awarded to Drs. Leo Esaki, Ivar Giaever and Brian Josephson for their discoveries of tunnelling phenomena in solids. The tunnelling phenomena belong to the most direct consequences of the laws of modern physics and have no analogy in classical mechanics.
