Alexei Alexeyevich Abrikosov () (born June 25 , 1928 , in Moscow , Russian SFSR , USSR ) is a Soviet/ Russia n Theoretical Physicist whose main contributions are in the field of Condensed Matter Physics . He graduated from the Moscow State University in 1948 . In 1948 – 1965 he worked in the Institute for Physical Problems of the USSR Academy Of Sciences , where he received his Ph. D. (in 1951 ) for the theory of thermal diffusion in Plasmas and then the next degree, Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences (in 1955 ) for a thesis on quantum electrodynamics at high energies. After that, in 1965 – 1988 he worked in the Landau Institute for Theoretical Physics (USSR Academy of Sciences). Professor of the Moscow State University since 1965 . Academician of the USSR Academy Of Sciences in 1987 – 1991 , since 1991 he is academician of the Russian Academy Of Sciences . In 1952 , Abrikosov discovered the way in which Magnetic Flux can penetrate a Superconductor . The phenomenon is known as type-II superconductivity, and the accompanying arrangement of magnetic flux lines is called the Abrikosov vortex lattice. Since 1991 he works in the Materials Science Division at Argonne National Laboratory in Illinois , USA on contract basis. He is a citizen of both Russia and the United States . Awards 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 . EXTERNAL LINKS
