Dirac (Paul Adrien Maurice, 1902.8.8–1984.10.20) British physicist, one of the
founders of quantum mechanics. Born in Bristol, died in Tallahassee, USA. Received
a bachelor’s degree at the University of Bristol in 1921, obtainded a doctor degree at
the University of Cambridge in 1926. 1927 became a researcher St. John’s College
in 1927. Worked at Princeton University in 1931, Served as Lucasian professor of
mathematics at University of Cambridge from 1932 to 1969. Served as a professor
of the Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies since 1940. Served as a professor at
the Florida State University in 1971. Become a fellow of the Royal Society in 1930,
was also a member of many foreign academies of sciences and science society.
Established the wave equation that describes the electronic movement and satisfies
the theory of relativisty in 1928, namely the Dirac equation. Proposed the hole theory
in 1930, predicted the existence of positive electron 1931. Due to the discovery
of new effective form of atomic theory, won the Nobel Prize in physics with the
Schrödinger in 1933. The works had Principles of Quantum Mechanics (1930),
Lectures on Quantum Field Theory (1966), Spinors in Hilbert Space (1974) and
General Theory of Relativity (1975) etc.
Landau (Lev Davidovich, Russian: L´ev Dav´idoviq Land´ay, 1908.1.22–
1968.4.1) Soviet physicist. Born in Baku, Azerbaijan, died in Moscow. Graduated
from the Leningrad State University in 1927. Received a doctor’s degree in 1934.
Served as a director of the Department of Theoretical Physics at the National Scientific Center Kharkiv Institute of Physics and Technology between 1932 and 1937.
Served as part–time a professor at the Moscow State University from 1943 to 1947
and after 1955. was elected an academician of the Soviet Scademy of Sciences in
1946, was also an academician of the United States National Academy of Sciences,
Kongelige Danske Videnskabernes Selskab and Koninklijke Nederlandse Akademie
van Wetenschappen, foreign member of the Royal Society. Proposed the theory of
diamagnetism on free electron in 1930. Established the secon order phase transition theory in 1937. Established the phenomenological theory of superconductivity
in 1950. Developed the theory of quantum fluid in 1956. For his pioneering study
of condensed matter especially liquid helium, won the Nobel Prize in physics in
1962. Won the Stalin Prize in 1946, 1949 and 1953. Was awarded the title Hero
of Socialist Labour in 1954. Was awarded the Lenin Prize in 1962. The works had
Course of Theoretical Physics (10 volumes, 1938–1962), The Classical Theory of
Fields (1941), Quantum Mechanics (1948) and Statistical Physics (1951) etc.
Levinson (Norman, 1912.8.11–1975.10.10) American mathematician. Born in Lynn,
Massachusetts, died in Boston. Received a doctor’s degree in mathematics from the
Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1935. After engaging in advanced studyies
at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, returned to his alma mater to teach
in 1937, served as associate professor in 1945, became a professor in 1949. Research
range included Fourier transform in the complex domain, complex analysis, theory of
