From 1926 to 1930 Shubnikov worked in Leiden where he was the co-discoverer of the Shubnikov-De Haas effect. After his return to the Soviet Union he founded in Kharkov in Ukraine the first low-temperature laboratory in the Soviet Union, which in a very short time became the foremost physics institute in the country and among other things led to the discovery of type-II superconductivity. In August 1937 Shubnikov, together with many of his colleagues, was arrested and shot early in November 1937. This gripping story gives deep insights into the pioneering work of Soviet physicists before the Second World War, as well as providing much previously unpublished information about their brutal treatment at the hands of the Stalinist regime.Springer Biographies,2365-0613PhysicsLow temperature physicsLow temperaturesRussia—HistoryEurope, Eastern—HistoryHistoryHistory and Philosophical Foundations of Physicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P29000Low Temperature Physicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P25130Russian, Soviet, and East European Historyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/717090History of Sciencehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/731000Physics.Low temperature physics.Low temperatures.Russia—History.Europe, Eastern—History.History.History and Philosophical Foundations of Physics.Low Temperature Physics.Russian, Soviet, and East European History.History of Science.623.45119092247Reinders L.
