This physicist's namesake pole is the energy at which a coupling constant becomes infinite, while his namesake damping is a non-collisional dissipative mechanism stabilizing ionized gasses.  
This scientist introduced the idea of an order parameter, which was used to derive a namesake equation of superconductivity along with his theory of second order phase transitions.  This physicist's namesake pole is the energy at which a coupling constant becomes infinite, while his namesake damping is a non-collisional dissipative mechanism stabilizing ionized gasses.  Repeatedly declared legally dead after a 1962 car accident, he was never able to complete his series "Physics for Everybody," though his nine-volume Course of Theoretical Physics, written with Lifshits, is epochal.  FTP, name this Soviet physicist and recipient of the 1962 Nobel Prize in Physics for his work on superfluidity.
