• CV - Sir Anthony J. Leggett - Lindau Mediatheque

  The eldest of five children, Anthony James Leggett was born in London in March 1938 but was evacuated to Windsor, Surrey, during the war. He returned at the end of the war and attended the local Catholic primary school, and then Sacred Heart College in Wimbledon and Beaumont College in Windsor, where his father taught science. Anthony primarily studied classics, however, and won a scholarship to Balliol College, Oxford, in 1955. After completing his degree he transferred to Merton College to [...] It was for his explanation of how the atoms in superfluid He-3 are ordered and interact that Sir Anthony J. Leggett was awarded a one-third share of the 2003 Nobel Prize for Physics, along with Alexei Abrikosov and Vitaly L. Ginzburg for their work with superconductors. [...] Anthony Leggett’s sketch concerns the behaviour of an isotope of helium at very low temperatures. Close to absolute zero, helium-3 (3He) displays the property of superfluidity, being able to creep up the walls of the vessel that holds it, as if it had no viscosity whatsoever. The drawing depicts both the experimental observation and the theoretical explanation that allowed Leggett to account for this phenomenon.
