Morikazu Toda

Morikazu Toda (戸田 盛和, Toda Morikazu, 20 October 1917 – 6 October 2010) was a Japanese physicist, best known for the discovery of the Toda lattice. His main interests were in statistical mechanics and condensed matter physics.

Career^[1]

After graduating from the Department of Physics,

In 1947 he received the Mainichi Shuppan-Bunka prize for his contributions to the theory of liquids and in 1981 the Fujihara Award for the discovery of the Toda lattice. He was a member of the Royal Norwegian Society of Sciences and Letters. He died of multiple organ failure on 6 October 2010.^[1]
