Editing Lev Landau (section)

==Works==

Landau wrote his first paper ''[[:s:On the derivation of Klein–Fock equation|On the derivation of Klein–Fock equation]]'', co-authored with [[Dmitri Ivanenko]] in 1926, when he was 18 years old. His last paper titled ''Fundamental problems'' appeared in 1960 in an edited version of tributes to [[Wolfgang Pauli]]. A complete list of Landau's works appeared in 1998 in the Russian journal ''Physics-Uspekhi''.<ref>{{cite journal| title=Complete list of L D Landau's works |journal=Phys. Usp. |volume=41 |issue=6 |pages=621–623 |date=June 1998 |url=http://ufn.ru/en/articles/1998/6/k/references.html |doi=10.1070/PU1998v041n06ABEH000413|bibcode = 1998PhyU...41..621.}}</ref> Landau would allow himself to be listed as a co-author of a journal article on two conditions: 1) he brought up the idea of the work, partly or entirely, and 2) he performed at least some calculations presented in the article. Consequently, he removed his name from numerous publications of his students where his contribution was less significant.<ref name="dau"/>

Landau and Lifshitz suggested in the third volume of the ''Course of Theoretical Physics'' that the then-standard periodic table had a mistake in it, and that [[lutetium]] should be regarded as a d-block rather than an f-block element. Their suggestion was fully vindicated by later findings,<ref name="Wittig">{{cite book |last=Wittig |first=Jörg |editor=H. J.
