Extractions: Esaki, Leo Japanese physicist who in 1957 noticed that electrons could sometimes 'tunnel' through the barrier formed at the junctions of certain semiconductors. The effect is now widely used in the electronics industry. For this early discovery Esaki shared the 1973 Nobel Prize for Physics with British physicist Brian Josephson and Norwegian-born US physicist Ivar Giaever Tunnelling is a quantum-mechanical effect whereby electrons can travel through electrostatic potentials that they would be unable to overcome classically. Esaki was able to use this effect for switching and to build ultrasmall and ultrafast tunnel diodes, now called Esaki diodes. He continued to research the nonlinear transport and optical properties of semiconductors, in particular multilayer superlattice structures grown by molecular-beam epitaxy techniques.

March 12, 1925, O saka, Japan), Japanese solid-state physicist and researcher in superconductivity who shared the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1973 with Ivar Giaevar and Brian Josephson. Esaki was a 1947 graduate in physics from Tokyo University and immediately joined the Kobe Kogyo company. In 1956 he became chief physicist of the Sony Corporation, where he conducted the experimentation that led to the Nobel Prize. In 1959 he received his Ph.D. from Tokyo University. Esaki's work at Sony was in the field of quantum mechanics and concentrated on the phenomenon of tunneling, in which the wavelike character of matter enables electrons to pass through barriers that the laws of classical mechanics say are impenetrable. He devised ways to modify the behaviour of solid-state semiconductors by adding impurities, or "doping" them. This work led to his invention of the double diode , which became known as the Esaki diode. It also opened new possibilities for solid-state developments that his co-recipients of the 1973 prize exploited separately. In 1960 Esaki was awarded an IBM (International Business Machines) fellowship for further research in the United States, and he subsequently joined IBM's research laboratories in Yorktown, N.Y. He retained his Japanese citizenship.

Extractions: Physics Esaki, Leo Esaki, Leo (March 12, 1925 - ; Japan) Leo Esaki, also known by his original name, Reiona Esaki, is a Japanese physicist specializing in solid-state physics as well as a researcher in superconductivity. In 1973, Esaki, along with Ivar Giaevar and Brian Josephson shared the Nobel Prize for Physics. Born in Osaka, Esaki attended Tokyo University and graduated with his degree in physics in 1947 and with his Ph.D. in 1959. Upon his graduation from Tokyo University in 1947, Esaki took up a position with the Kobe Kogyo company. In 1956, Esaki accepted a position at the Sony Corporation and became its chief physicist working in the field of quantum mechanics. It was with this post that Esaki conducted his experiments which led to the Nobel Prize. While at Sony, Esaki concentrated on the concept of tunnelling in which electrons are able to pass through barriers once thought to be impenetrable. The electrons were noted to be able to move freely through the barrier due to the wavelength character of matter. In 1960, Esaki moved to Yorktown, New York after being awarded the International Business Machines (IBM) fellowship to enable him to further his research in the United States. After obtaining the fellowship, Esaki joined IBM's research laboratories. Esaki is also noted as the inventor of the double diode which today bears his name the Esaki diode, by modifying solid-state semiconductors through the addition of impurities (Britannica, 4:553, 1994; and Barba, p.65, 1995).
