This document discusses several Russian scientists who won Nobel Prizes, including Ivan Pavlov who won in 1904 for his work on the physiology of digestion, Ilya Mechnikov who won in 1908 for discovering phagocytosis, and Nikolay Semyonov who won in 1956 for his work on the mechanism of chemical transformations. It also mentions physicists Lev Landau, Nikolay Basov, Pyotr Kapitsa, and Zhores Alferov, recognizing their fundamental contributions in their fields and honors including the Nobel Prize. The document aims to inform about these notable Russian scientists and their achievements being awarded the Nobel Prize.

Prize-winners.
3. Ivan Petrovich Pavlov
(1849-1936)
Ivan Petrovich Pavlov was born on September 14,
1849 in the village of Ryazan. He went to the Church
school, and was later was enrolled in a theological
seminary. It was after reading The Origin of the
Species by Charles Darwin, and the works of Russian
physiologist I. M. Sechenov that Pavlov decided to
abandon his theological studies and become a man of
science.Pavlov was Director of the Physiological
Laboratory at the clinic of S. P. Botkin, a famous
Russian physician. It was there he produced his
doctoral thesis on The Centrifugal Nerves of the
Heart, for which he was later awardedthe Nobel Prize
in Medicine/ physiology (1904).
4. Ilya Ilyich Mechnikov
Ilya Ilyich Mechnikov was born in a village
near Kharkov in the Russian Empire (now
Kharkiv, Ukraine). Mechnikov was a
Russian microbiologist best remembered
for his pioneering research into the immune
system. Mechnikov received the Nobel
Prize in Medicine in 1908, for his work on
phagocytosis.
(1845 1916)
5. Nikolay Nikolayevich Semyonov
(1896 1986)
Nikolay Semyonov is a Russian physicist and chemist. He was
awarded with Nobel Prize in 1956 in Chemistry for his work
on the mechanism of chemical transformation. Semyonov's
outstanding work on the mechanism of chemical
transformation includes an exhaustive analysis of the
application of the chain theory to varied reactions (1934
1954) and, more significantly, to combustion processes. He
proposed a theory of degenerate branching, which led to a
better understanding of the phenomena associated with the
induction periods of oxidation processes.
6. Lev Davidovich Landau
(1908 1968)
Lev Davidovich Landau was a prominent Soviet physicist who made
fundamental contributions to many areas of theoretical physics. His
accomplishments include the independent co-discovery of the density
matrix method in quantum mechanics, the quantum mechanical theory of
diamagnetism, the theory of superfluidity, the GinzburgLandau theory
of superconductivity, the theory of Fermi liquid, the Landau pole in
quantum electrodynamics, and the two-component theory of neutrinos.
He received Nobel Prize in Physics in1962 for his development of a
mathematical theory of superfluidity that accounts for the properties of
liquid helium II at a temperature below 2.17 K (270.98 属C).
7. Nikolay Gennadiyevich Basov
(1922 -2001)
Nikolay Basov was a Soviet physicist and educator. For his
fundamental work in the field of quantum electronics that led to
the development of laser and maser, Basov shared Nobel Prize in
Physics in 1964 with Alexander Prokhorov and Charles Hard
Townes.
8. Pyotr Leonidovich Kapitsa
(1894- 1984)
Pyotr Kapitsa was born in Kronstadt, Russia. From
1923 to 1926, Kaptisa became a Clerk Maxwell
Student at Cambridge University, and then Assistant
Director of Magnetic Research at Cavendish
Laboratory (1924-1932).
He worked in Cambridge for more than 10 years.
He discovered superfluidity with some contribution
from John F. Allen and Don Misener in 1937.
Kapitsa won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1978 for
his work in low-temperature physics.
9. Zhores Ivanovich Alferov
(born March 15, 1930)
Zhores Alferov is a Soviet and Russian
physicist and academic who contributed
significantly to the creation of modern
heterostructure physics and electronics. He
is an inventor of the heterotransistor and
the winner of 2000 Nobel Prize in Physics.
