Lars on Sager
Lars onsager (Lars Onsager, November 27, 1903 - October 5, 1976) is a physicist who worked in the US from Oslo, Norway. It is also written as an onserger or onsager. Received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1968 by research on the thermodynamics of irreversible processes. He graduated from Norwegian University of Technology. After going to Zurich Technical University, he became a faculty member of Brown University in 1928. Since 1933 he served as Associate Professor of Chemistry at Yale University, Associate Professor at the University in 1940 and Professor at Yale University from 1945 to 1973. In 1931 discovered the Onsager's reciprocity theorem and opened up a path to establish a "coherent theory system" of "thermodynamics of irreversible process" which is a development form of thermodynamics second law. Also, in 1944 led the exact solution of the 2D Ising model and gave a major turning point to the study of phase transition phenomena. In 1953, I came to Japan at the International Theoretical Physics Society. ...
