John Robert Schrieffer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia John Robert Schrieffer (born May 31, 1931) is an American physicist and winner, with John Bardeen and Leon Neil Cooper, of the 1972 Nobel Prize for Physics for developing the BCS theory (for their initials), the first successful microscopic theory of superconductivity. Schrieffer and Bardeen’s collaborator Cooper had discovered that electrons in a superconductor are grouped in pairs, now called Cooper pairs, and that the motions of all Cooper pairs within a single superconductor are correlated and function as a single entity. In 1980, Schrieffer became a professor at the University of California, Santa Barbara, and rose to chancellor professor in 1984, serving as director of the university’s Institute for Theoretical Physics. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/John_Robert_Schrieffer   (686 words)

Schrieffer, John Robert - Hutchinson encyclopedia article about Schrieffer, John Robert US physicist who, with John Bardeen and Leon Cooper, was awarded the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1972 for developing the first satisfactory theory of superconductivity (the resistance-free flow of electrical current which occurs in many metals and metallic compounds at very low temperatures). This theory of superconductivity (called the BCS theory) is amazingly complete and explains all known phenomena associated with superconductivitity in metals and alloys (except the high-temperature superconducting ceramics discovered in the late 1980s).

John Robert Schrieffer Biography / Biography of John Robert Schrieffer History of Scientific Discovery Biography Schrieffer's task was to find a system of mathematical equations that could be used to generalize the phenomenon of Cooper pairs to all electrons in a metal. In fact, it is said that Schrieffer was so discouraged that he considered changing the topic of his doctoral research from superconductivity to ferromagnetism. Schrieffer's solution was so successful that the BCS theory is now able to account for all observed properties of superconductors. www.bookrags.com /biography-john-robert-schrieffer-wsd   (402 words)
