Gilbert George Lonzarich
Gilbert "Gil" George Lonzarich (born 1945)[1] is a solid-state physicist and Emeritus Professor of the
University of Cambridge. He is particularly noted for his work on superconducting and magnetic
materials carried out at the Cavendish Laboratory .
Life
Lonzarich received his BA degree from University of California, Berkeley (1967), his M.S. from the
University of Minnesota (1970) and his Ph.D. degree from University of British Columbia (1973).
Starting as a postdoc, he has held positions at the University of Cambridge. Since 1997 he is a professor
at the Cavendish Laboratory, where he heads the quantum matter group.[2]
Research
The research of Lonzarich focuses on solids where the interaction between electrons can lead to
unconventional states of matter. His work has addressed different material classes, including itinerant
magnets (such as MnSi),[3] heavy-fermion materials,[4][5] and ferroelectrics.[6] One groundbreaking result
for the field of unconventional superconductivity was the demonstration that the suppression of
antiferromagnetic order in heavy-fermion materials, i.e. a quantum-critical point, can induce
superconductivity.[4]
Important aspects of the experiments of Lonzarich's group are crystal growth, ultra-low temperatures
(mK temperatures), high-pressure experiments, and quantum oscillations (continuing the work of David
Shoenberg).[7]
Notable former students in the group of Lonzarich include Piers Coleman, Louis Taillefer,[5] Andrew
MacKenzie, and Christian Pfleiderer.[3][7]
