25 November 2014 Laboratory for superconducting metamaterials organises the series of Schmidt seminars on superconductivity with invited famous scientists with original reports on superconductivity.
The seminar is named after Vadim V. Schmidt.
V.V. Schmidt (1927-1985) – an outstanding Russian (Soviet) scientist, professor of MISIS, the organizer and head (in 1978-1985.) of the Laboratory of Superconductivity at the Institute of Solid
State Physics RAS, the author of one of the most popular textbooks on superconductivity. This remarkable book “Introduction to the physics of superconductors”, endured for two editions, based on a course of lectures, which Vadim V. for a number of years (30 years ago) read at the Moscow Institute of Steel and Alloys. V.V. Schmidt is one of the founders of the theory of fluctuations in low-dimensional superconductors, the author of several models of pinning of Abrikosov vortices and thermoelectric phenomena in superconducting systems. Interest in this area is related to the close interaction between Vadim V. Schmidt and Vitaly L. Ginzburg with his theoretical division at P.N. Lebedev Physical Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences. Vadim V. was a permanent member of the famous ” Ginzburg workshops” held on Wednesdays in the LPI. It is the format of the workshop, as well as “Schmidt Monday” in Chernogolovka, we would like to replicate in organized “Schmidt seminar on superconductivity.” The venue is NUST “MISIS”, is known for its tradition in the study of superconductivity in connection with the work of the Department of Theoretical Physics, which was headed by Alexei Abrikosov in 1976-1991 gg., got in 2003 the Nobel Prize in Physics together with Vitaly L. Ginzburg for pioneering work in the theory of superconductors.
The organizers of the seminar, students of V.V. Schmidt:
Golubov A.A., Professor of Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology and University of Twente (Netherlands), a graduate of MISIS.
Ryazanov V.V., Professor of Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology, chief researcher of the lab in MISIS, Head of the Laboratory of superconductivity in the Institute of Solid State Physics RAS in Chernogolovka.
Ustinov A.V., Professor of Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (Germany), Head of the Laboratory of superconducting metamaterials NUST “MISIS”.
