讲座系统回顾了朗道的学术生涯。从他早年求学于列宁格勒大学,到赴哥本哈根与玻尔等量子力学奠基人交流,这段经历为他独特的物理学研究风格的形成奠定了坚实基础。安德烈教授重点解析了朗道的三大科学贡献:
超流理论:他对液氦超流现象的理论解释是其获得1962年诺贝尔物理学奖的核心工作。
相变理论:朗道提出的二级相变理论为理解物质状态变化提供了统一框架。
超导理论:他与金兹堡共同建立的Ginzburg-Landau理论,成为描述超导现象的基础理论之一。
安德烈教授在讲座中特别强调了朗道的教育成就。他创立的 "朗道理论物理学校" 以其严格的 "理论最低标准" 选拔机制闻名。他与利夫希茨合著的十卷本 《理论物理学教程》 系列,系统构建了理论物理学的知识体系,至今仍是全球物理学者的经典教材。
在现场交流环节,师生们围绕朗道的科学方法论和教育理念展开热烈讨论。本次讲座通过追溯这位物理学大师的思想轨迹,为理论物理人才培养与科研创新提供了宝贵启示。
主讲人简介:
Andrey Varlamov was born April, 25, 1954 in Kyiv (Ukraine). In 1977, he got Master’s degree cum laude at the Moscow Institute for Physics and Technology. In 1980, under supervision of Alex Abrikosov, he was awarded Ph.D. degree in Condensed Matter Physics. He worked as a researcher, associate professor, and full professor of the Department of Theoretical Physics of the Moscow Institute for Steel and Alloys (Technological University), then as the fellow at the Condensed Matter Theory Group of Argonne National Laboratory (USA). Since 1999 he has been the principal investigator of the Institute of Superconductivity, Innovative Materials, and Devices of the Italian National Research Council (CNR-SPIN). Andrey Varlamov was awarded the USSR State Prize in Physics for young scientists (1986), the degree of Doctor of Sciences (Habilitatus) in Condensed Matter Physics (1988), degrees of Doctor Philosophiae Honoris Causa of Bogolyubov Institute for Theoretical Physics (Ukraine, 2011), Mediterranean Institute of Fundamental Physics (Italy, 2014), Bogolyubov Prize (Ukraine, 2018). He is also a member-correspondent of Istituto Lombardo Accademia di Scienze e Lettere (Milano, 2009). His book “The Wonders of Physics” has gone through 16 editions over the past 40 years and has been translated into eight languages, including Chinese. Another work, co-authored with Jacques Villain and Attilio Rigamonti, “Le Kaleidoscope de la Physique”, received the Prix Grand Public Roberval in France in 2015 and has been published in four languages.His main fields of scientific interests are: superconductivity, theory of metals, theory of phase transitions, thermoelectricity, and nanophysics. He is the author/editor of fifteen books, among which is the monograph “Theory of Fluctuations in Superconductors”, written in co-authorship with Anatoly Larkin, five monographic review articles, more than 200 scientific papers.
