First edition. Alexei Abrikosov was a student of the eminent Russian physicist Lev D. Landau. He began work in the early 1950's on the experimental verification of the predictions of the recently published Ginzburg-Landau theory of superconductivity. It was during this work that he and his colleague Zavaritskii discovered high temperature superconductors (type 2 superconductors). In 1957 Abrikosov published a paper (the offered item), in which he characterized this phenomenon by the formation of a particular quantum vortex in the conductor (now known as an Abrikosov vortex). These important discoveries initiated one of the largest and most intensive research areas in modern physics. Abrikosov was awarded the 2003 Physics Nobel Prize for this work.
