Russell J. Hemley
Russell Julian Hemley (26 October 1954, Berkeley, California) is an American geophysicist, solid-state physicist, and physical chemist. Hemley is especially notable for his work in the theoretical prediction[1] and experimental observation[2] of near room-temperature superconductivity in lanthanum decahydride under high pressure.
Hemley grew up in California, Colorado and Utah. He studied chemistry and philosophy at
In the academic year 1991–1992 he was a visiting scientist at the Johns Hopkins University and in 1996 and again in 1999 at the École normale supérieure de Lyon.
Hemley's research deals with the properties of matter under high pressure with applications in geophysics, geochemistry and planetology, as well as applications in solid-state physics, chemistry, and pressure effects on biomolecules and biological systems; the applications in physics include hydrogen under pressure in the
Hemley has published over 490 articles as an author or co-author[5] and has been awarded several patents.[6]
Hemley received in 2005 the
