Contributing to research in statistical mechanics of phase transitions, he studied helium superfluidity and other critical phenomena.
In 1932 he was the first to postulate the existence of a stable, super- dense state of matter of which neutron stars might be composed. He studied physics and chemistry at Leningrad State University, and after graduating at age nineteen worked at the Physico-Technical Institute in Leningrad.
