  Alexei Alexeyevich Abrikosov - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Alexei Alexeyevich Abrikosov (Russian: Алексе́й Алексе́евич Абрико́сов) (born June 25, 1928, in Moscow, Russian SFSR, USSR) is a Soviet/Russian theoretical physicist whose main contributions are in the field of condensed matter physics.
Alexei Abrikosov was awarded Lenin Prize (in 1966), USSR State Prize (in 1982), Fritz London Memorial Prize (in 1972).
He was the co-recipient of the 2003 Nobel Prize in Physics, with Vitaly Ginzburg and Anthony James Leggett.

 Alexei Abrikosov - Type II Superconductors and the Abrikosov Vortex Lattice
Alexei Abrikosov was born in 1928 in Moscow.
Abrikosov said research in physics is not being pursued in Russia due to lack of funding.
Abrikosov is currently an Argonne Distinguished Scientist at the Condensed Matter Theory Group in the Materials Science Division of the Argonne National Laboratory.

 [No title]
Abrikosov's work actually sprung from an insightful analysis of a phenomenological theory of superconductivity formulated in 1950 by Lev Landau (who was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1962 for his other work relating to superfluidity) and Ginzburg (who gets the Nobel this year).
In fact, Abrikosov was provoked to look at the theory by his roommate, N. Zavaritzkii, at Moscow University, who found that some of his samples did not behave according to the predictions of the LG theory.
Abrikosov also provided a detailed prediction of how the number of vortices would grow as the magnetic field increased in strength and how superconductivity is lost when the field exceeds the upper threshold, causing the vortices to overlap.

Alexei Abrikosov, working at the Kapitsa Institute for Physical Problems in Moscow, succeeded in formulating a new theory to describe the phenomenon.
Abrikosov was able to show mathematically how the order parameter can describe vortices and how the external magnetic field can penetrate the material along the channels in these vortices.
Abrikosov was also able to predict in detail how the number of vortices can grow as the magnetic field increases in strength and how the superconductive property in the material is lost if the cores of the vortices overlap.

This theory, which combined Landau's theory of second-order phase transitions with a Scrödinger-like wave equation, had great success in explaining the macroscopic properties of superconductors.
In particular, Abrikosov showed that Ginzburg-Landau theory predicts the division of superconductors into the two categories now referred to as Type I and Type II.
Abrikosov and Ginzburg were awarded the 2003 Nobel Prize for their work (Landau having died in 1968.)

Abrikosov’s co-workers were full of praise for his accomplishments, and conveyed a deep respect for him both as a scientist and as a person.
Abrikosov is a member of numerous scientific organizations and has won many awards before the Nobel, the most prestigious of which was the Lenin Prize in 1966, Russia’s most important scientific honor.

Abrikosov showed that under certain circumstances, some of the magnetism manages to find its way back into the superconductors via bubbles so small that they contain a tiny number of atoms.
Abrikosov showed that when the magnetic bubbles enter the superconducting material, they form a lattice, in much the same way that atoms do in the crystal framework of a solid, said Rosenbaum.

 The Nobel Prize in Physics 2003
It remained for Alexei Abrikosov to uncover the scientific gold mine that opened up with the 'superconductors of the second group' involving large k, nowadays called type II superconductors.
Abrikosov's first contact with these 'unconventional' superconductors dates back to the early fifties, when Nikolay Zavaritskii changed the fabrication mode of his thin Sn and Tl films, keeping the substrate at low temperatures in order to improve their homogeneity.
Meantime, the Abrikosov lattice has undergone a 'metamorphosis' to the field of Vortex Matter, the filigrane arrangements formed by vortex-lines residing within conventional matter made of atoms and electrons.

Alexei A. Abrikosov, a distinguished scientist at Argonne National Laboratory who was awakened at 4:15 AM, has been nominated for a Nobel many times.
But Abrikosov, 75, realized this might be his year when the Nobel committee informed him of his nomination in a letter last May. “They’d never sent me anything like that before, so I suspected this year would be somewhat different from others,” he says.
Abrikosov used Ginzburg and Landau’s work as a springboard to show that in type II superconductors, quanta of magnetic flux could penetrate the material as an array of vortices without disrupting the superconductivity.

This new map for type-II superconductors expands upon the landmark theory of type-II superconductors by Alexei Abrikosov, a winner of this year’s Nobel Prize in physics.
Nearly 50 years ago, Abrikosov predicted that some superconductors (called type-II) could retain superconductivity in a very strong magnetic field by forming tiny eddies of current, called Abrikosov vortices, that allow the field to pass through the superconductor without disruption until the field reaches a certain threshold level.
Then, in a transition that Abrikosov did not predict, the vortices suddenly abandon their lattice positions and disorder ensues.
