Slaven Barišić (January 26, 1942 – April 5, 2015) was a Croatian scientist, physicist, academician, full professor of the Faculty of Science and Mathematics and member of the Croatian Academy of Sciences and Arts.[1]

Education[edit]

Barišić was born in Pleternica and attended elementary school there, and later in Zagreb.[2] He graduated in theoretical physics in 1964 at the Faculty of Science in Zagreb, and obtained his master's degree (1968) and doctorate (1971) at the Faculty of Sciences, at the Université de Paris-Sud in Orsay under the guidance of Jacques Friedel.[3]

Scientific career[edit]

From 1965 to 1972, he was a research assistant at the Institute of Physics in Zagreb. From 1967 to 1971, he was a researcher at the National Center for Scientific Research in France , where he received his doctorate. In 1972, he returned to his homeland and became an assistant professor. From 1976 he was an associate professor, and from 1979 he was a full professor in the Physics Department of the Faculty of Medicine.[3]

Since his doctorate, he has been working in the field of theoretical physics of the solid state, namely on the theoretical physics of metals, especially high-temperature superconductors and phase transitions in low-dimensional conductive materials.[3]

He has published over 100 scientific articles in international journals and anthologies in the field of the general theory of electron-photon binding in a strong (covalent) bond, the theory of chain (anisotropic) conductors, the analysis of low-dimensional phenomenological models of the Landau type and the theory of high-temperature superconductivity,[4] mostly in renowned scientific journals, which have been cited about 1,800 times.[5]

Social engagement[edit]

As vice-chancellor of the University of Zagreb from 1984 to 1986, and later, he publicly opposed the reform of secondary education.[6]

He was one of the founders and vice president of the independent civic association Croatian Cultural Council.[7]

Barišić died in Zagreb.
