Barran Kamerlingh-Onnes, Heike (1853-1926) Portions of this entry contributed by Michel Barran Dutch physicist was graduated from the University of Groningen, receiving his Ph.D. in 1879 after having studied with Bunsen and Kirchhoff at Heidelberg (1871-1873). In his doctoral thesis, he gave both theoretical and experimental proofs that Foucault's well-known pendulum experiment should be considered as a special case of a large group of phenomena which can be used to prove the rotation of the Earth. Kamerlingh-Onnes taught at Polytechnic School at Delft (Netherlands) in 1880-1882, during which time he was in close contact with van der Waals, professor of physics in Amsterdam. Kamerlingh-Onnes became a professor of experimental physics at Leiden (1882-1924). Kamerlingh-Onnes's main research goal was to gather experimental evidence for the atomic theory of matter and to give experimental support to van der Waals's corpuscular theory of gazes at low temperatures. He established the Cryogenic Laboratory at Leyden University (1894) which, using the Joule-Thomson effect he produced liquid helium for the first time in 1908. Later, his pupils W. H. Keesom and W. J. de Haas conducted experiments in the same laboratory, which led them still closer to

Heike Kamerlingh Onnes Heike Kamerlingh Onnes Early years and professorship Onnes was born in Groningen, Netherlands. His father, Harm Kamerlingh Onnes, was the brickworks owner. His mother was Anna Gerdina Coers of Arnhem. In 1870, Onnes attended the University of Groningen. Onnes studied under Robert Bunsen and Gustav Kirchhoff at the University of Heidelberg from 1871 to 1873. Onnes, again at Groningen, obtained his masters in 1878 and a doctor's degree in 1879. His thesis was "Nieuwe bewijzen voor de aswenteling der aarde" (tr. New proofs of the rotation of the earth). From 1882 to 1923 he served as professor of experimental physics at the University of Leiden. In 1904, Onnes founded a very large cryogenics lab and invited other researchers to the location. Onnes being held in high reguard by the scientific community was because of this institution. In 1908 Onnes was the first physicist who made this liquefaction of helium possible (using cryostats). Onnes managed, using the Joule-Thomson effect, to lower the temperature to less than one degree above the absolute minimum (0.9 K). By then this was by far the coldest place on earth. Superconductivity Onnes conducted (in 1911) electrical analysis of pure metals (mercury, tin and lead) at very low temperatures. Some, such as William Thomson, believed that electrons flowing through a conductor would come to a complete halt. Others, including Onnes, felt that a conductors electrical resistance would steadily decrease and drop to nil. At 4.2 kelvins the resistance was zero. Onnes stated that the "Mercury has passed into a new state, which on account of its extraordinary electrical properties may be called the superconductive state". Onnes published more articles about the phenomena. Initially, Onnes preferred to call the phenomena "supraconductivity" and, only later, adopted the term "superconductivity".

Heike Kamerlingh Onnes Heike Kamerlingh Onnes September 21 February 21 ) was a Dutch physicist . He won the Nobel Prize in Physics for (in the words of the committee) "his investigations on the properties of matter at low temperatures which led, inter alia, to the production of liquid helium". In Onnes was the first physicist who made this liquefaction of helium possible. For this purpose he founded a cryogenics lab, in . Here he managed, using the Joule-Thomson effect , to lower the temperature to less than one degree above the absolute minimum (0,9K). By then this was by far the coldest place on earth.
