Oliver E. Buckley Condensed Matter Prize talk: Elihu Abrahams: pioneer in the physics of disordered electronic systems
· Invited
Abstract
Elihu Abrahams (1927-2018) was recognized by the Buckley Prize for his early and key contributions to the theory of transport in doped semiconductors and disordered electronic systems. In a seminal work with his student Miller, he introduced the network model for hopping conductivity. Later he co-authored with Anderson, Licciardello and Ramakrishnan an influential paper (6169 citations) on the scaling theory of localization. I shall review these accomplishments and share memory of a life well lived.
