Leo Philip Kadanoff (January 14, 1937 – October 26, 2015) was an American physicist. He was a professor of physics (emeritus from 2004) [3] at the University of Chicago and a former president of the American Physical Society (APS). [4]
30. Okt. 2015 · The web page pays tribute to Leo Kadanoff, a renowned physicist who made groundbreaking contributions to statistical mechanics, condensed matter physics and nonlinear physics. It highlights his achievements, awards, teaching style and legacy at the University of Chicago.
8. Jan. 2016 · Leo P. Kadanoff, who died on October 26, 2015, devoted his scientific life to trying to elucidate how much of the world can be understood using mathematical models. Historically, physics has addressed this problem by searching for fundamental laws that completely specify the right ingredients to put into a theoretical model. For ...
17. Okt. 2016 · In 1966 Leo Kadanoff presented the second important step to understand critical phenomena with his block transformation. He replaced the spins within a block by a new block spin and introduced an effective interaction between the block spins, which yields the same behavior for magnetization and spin correlations on distances large in ...
