Boris Shklovskii

Last updated

Boris Ionovich Shklovskii (born 1944) is a Russian theoretical physicist, at the William I Fine Theoretical Physics Institute, University of Minnesota, specializing in condensed matter. Shklovskii earned his A.B. degree in Physics, in 1966 and a Ph.D. in condensed matter theory, in 1968 from Leningrad University. [1]

Contents

Shklovskii is known for the Efros–Shklovskii variable-range hopping conductivity, a model for the temperature dependence of the electrical conductivity in the variable-range hopping regime. [2] He has also made important contributions to the theory of the Quantum Hall effect (explaining the structure of conducting edge channels [3] and predicting the formation of Quantum Hall stripe and bubble phases [4] [5] ) and to the theory of macromolecules (developing the theory of electrostatic charge inversion [6] [7] ).

Honors and awards

Shklovskii was awarded the Landau Prize of Academy of Sciences of USSR in 1986, the A.S. Fine Chair in Theoretical Physics in 1990, [1] [8] and was elected a fellow of the American Physical Society in 1997. [9]

In 2018, he received the 2019 Oliver E. Buckley Condensed Matter Physics Prize for "pioneering research in the physics of disordered materials and hopping conductivity" together with Alexei L. Efros and Elihu Abrahams. [10]

In 2023 he was elected to the National Academy of Sciences. [11]
