Boris Shklovskii

Summary

Boris Ionovich Shklovskii (born 1944) is a 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]

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

edit

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]
