Alekseevsky, Nikolay Evgenievich

Born in Petropavlovsk.

He graduated from the Leningrad Polytechnic Institute (1936). In 1936-1941 he worked at the Kharkov Institute of Physics and Technology .

Since 1942 he worked at the Institute of Physical Problems of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR (senior researcher, head of the laboratory).

He was buried at the Troekurovsky cemetery ^[1] .

The works are devoted to low temperature physics. In 1936-1938, together with L.V. Shubnikov and V.I. Khotkevich, he studied the destruction of the superconductivity of metals and alloys under the influence of a flowing current and an external magnetic field, discovered the features of this destruction, and (in 1936) gave the first experimental proof of the Silby hypothesis about the nature of the destruction of superconductivity by current. He conducted research on the superconducting properties of pure metals and metal alloys. Studying the kinetics of superconducting transitions, he found that the destruction of superconductors by current is associated with the appearance of an intermediate state and the transition to this state occurs in a nonequilibrium manner. He studied the effect of hydrostatic pressure and elastic uniaxial deformations on the superconducting properties of metals and alloys. He carried out a series of studies on the galvanomagnetic properties of pure metals in strong magnetic fields at low temperatures ( USSR State Prize , 1967). He discovered superconductivity in a number of alloys of non-superconducting components and investigated their properties (Prize named after ND Papaleksi, 1951). investigated the properties of multicomponent alloys and compounds in both normal and superconducting states.
