This man remarked of Oppenheimer, ""It was clear to me that when it came to fundamental physics,  there was no point in competing with a person like that." He proposed that secondary phase particles in  metallic systems could limit grain boundary migration through pinning pressure. His work on extracting heat  from the oceans used his technique of Geometric programming, which is an optimization scheme based on  posynomial functions. With Landau, this man names the formula giving the probability of a nonadiabatic transition  through an avoided crossing region. This man invented a device that is used with one resistor in parallel and one in  series to create a simple shunt regulator. This man characterized the tearing of electrons from covalent bonds when a  high reverse biasis voltage is present across a p-n junction. For 10 points, name this man whose diodes allow for  reverse current fl
