Peng huanwu

Born mentioned in his book My Life and My Viewpoint: "There are four talented China students among my students; One of them is Huang Kun ... ",and the other three are Peng Huanwu, Cheng,.

Peng Huanwu, 19 15, a native of Changchun City, Jilin Province. 1938 went to the University of Edinburgh in England with Born in the autumn, 1940 received a doctorate in philosophy, 1945 received a doctorate in science, and/kloc-0 returned to China at the end of 947. Born recalled in his book My Life: "My first China student was a short and strong young man named Peng (Huanwu). He is very talented ... I remember once he made a mistake on a theoretical issue. After the mistake was discovered, he was very depressed and decided to give up scientific research and write a big scientific encyclopedia for the people of China, including all the important discoveries and technical methods in the West. When I said that I thought it was too big a task for one person, he replied that a China could do the work of 65,438+00 Europeans. He was appointed as a professor at the Schrodinger Institute for Advanced Studies in Dublin, Ireland, replacing W. Hai Telei ... I think Peng is the first China person to get a professorship in Europe. A few years later, he decided to return to China. Before he left, he came to visit us and went with us to Yulapur in the northwest highland of Scotland, where we spent our holiday. ... we had a wonderful few days together. Later, he left, we never saw him again, and he didn't write. " Born said, "Apart from his mysterious talent, Peng is very simple and looks like a powerful farmer." From Born's words, he revealed his love, appreciation and yearning for this stubborn young man from the north of China. When Mr. Peng was in England, he cooperated with Hai Telei to do theoretical research on mesons. Because of his contribution to theoretical physics, he shared with Born the McDougall-Bresban Award 1945 of the Royal Society of Edinburgh, England. After returning to China, he continued to study nuclear physics and put forward a calculation method of molecular structure based on electron bond wave function. 1956- 1957 under his leadership, Deng Jiaxian published a series of important papers in cooperation with He Xiuzhan, Xu Jianming and Yu Min, which made pioneering work for the research of nuclear physics in China.

Mr. Peng 1982 won the first prize of National Natural Science. 1985 won the national special prize for scientific and technological progress.

Stoneboog

Professor of physics at Einstein Creek, director of the newly established Institute of Theoretical Physics, was awarded the 1985 National Science and Technology Medal by the President of the United States. 1948 65438+On February 27th, Peking University awarded Yang Zhenning the honorary professor certificate.

Yang Zhenning has made extensive contributions to theoretical physics, including elementary particles, statistical mechanics and condensed matter physics. He made many contributions to theoretical structure and phenomenological analysis.

Deng Jiaxian

Deng Jiaxian (1924— 1986), a nuclear physicist in China, was born in Huaining, Anhui Province on June 25th, 1924. His grandfather was a famous calligrapher and seal engraver in Qing Dynasty, and his father was a famous aesthete and art historian. After the July 7th Incident, the whole family stayed in Beiping. 16 years old, they came to Jiangjin, Sichuan, and finished high school with their sister. 1941-1945 studied in the Physics Department of National Southwest Associated University, and studied under famous professors such as Wang Zhuxi and Zheng Huachi. 1945 After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, he moved back to Beiping and applied to teach in the Physics Department of Peking University. From 65438 to 0948, he went to Purdue University in Indiana, USA, and was elected to the general board of directors of the American Association for Studying Abroad. The birth of the new China made him determined to return to his motherland as soon as possible. 1950 In August, the ninth day after he got his degree, he broke through many obstacles and boarded the returning ship. 1950 10 used to be an assistant researcher at the Institute of Modern Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, engaged in nuclear theory research. 1958 In August, he was transferred to the newly established Nuclear Weapons Research Institute as the director of the theoretical department, responsible for leading the theoretical design of nuclear weapons. Later, he served as deputy director and director of the Institute, vice president and dean of the Ninth Research and Design Institute of the Ministry of Nuclear Industry, deputy director of the Science and Technology Committee of the Ministry of Nuclear Industry, and deputy director of the Science and Technology Committee of the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense. He is the main organizer and leader of China's nuclear weapons research and development.

1956 joined China * * * Production Party, member of the 12th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and academician of China Academy of Sciences.

1985 suffered from rectal cancer in July and kept working until the last moment of his life. 1986 died in Beijing on July 29th at the age of 62.

Li zongdao

Theoretical physicist Li Zhengdao (1926-). 1926165438+1was born in Shanghai on October 25th. 1943- 1944 studied in the Physics Department of Zhejiang University (when he was a freshman in Yongxing, Guizhou) and started his academic career inspired by his teacher Hsin P. Soh. 1944 suspended from school due to rollover injury. 1945 transferred to the Physics Department of The National SouthWest Associated University, Kunming. 1946, recommended by his teacher Wu Dayou, he won a national scholarship and went to the United States for further study. 1948 In the spring, Li Zhengdao passed the postgraduate qualification examination and began to do doctoral thesis research under the guidance of Fermi.

At the end of 1949, under the guidance of Fermi, Li Zhengdao completed his doctoral thesis on white dwarfs and obtained his doctorate. After that, I worked as a lecturer, studied in the astronomy department of the school for half a year, and studied in the physics department of the University of California (Berkeley) for one year.

1950, married Qin, a college student from Shanghai. They have two children, the eldest son Li Zhongqing, who is currently a history professor at California Institute of Technology; Li, the second son, is currently an assistant professor in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Michigan. 195 1 year worked in Princeton institute for advanced studies. 1953 was an assistant professor of physics at Columbia University, 1955 was an associate professor, 1956 was a professor, 1957 was a Nobel Prize winner in physics, 1957 was a professor at Princeton Institute for Advanced Studies and Columbia University,1960- Professor of Physics Department of Columbia University 1963, Professor of Fermi Physics Department 1964, Professor of the whole school 1983. He is also a member of the American Academy of Sciences.

Li Zhengdao's outstanding contribution to modern physics is that he cooperated with Yang Zhenning in 1956 and studied the puzzling "θ? 6? The mystery of "1γ", that is, the so-called k meson has two different decay modes, one decays to even parity state and the other decays to odd parity state. It is recognized that parity may not be conserved in weak interactions. In addition, several experimental methods are proposed to test whether parity is conserved in weak interaction. The next year, this theory was predicted by Wu Jianxiong's experiment. Therefore, the work of Li Zhengdao and Yang Zhenning was quickly recognized by the academic circles and won the 1957 Nobel Prize in Physics.
