What is Lev Landau known for in the field of liquid helium?

  • Discovering Helium-3

  • Development of theory that accounts for properties of liquid helium-II

  • Creation of Helium-based Nuclear Reactor

  • Inventing the Helium Neutrino

Answer

The key to comprehending the unique behaviors of liquid helium-II lies in Lev Landau's groundbreaking theory. His work unveiled the existence of two distinct fluid components in this state: the normal component, which behaves similarly to ordinary liquids, and the superfluid component, which defies conventional understandings with zero viscosity and the ability to flow without friction.
