Cheng Kaijia, male, of Han ethnicity, a member of the Communist Party of China and a member of the Jiu San Society, was born in August 1918 and passed away in November 2018. He was from Suzhou, Jiangsu. He was a permanent member of the Science and Technology Commission of the former National Defense Science, Technology and Industry Commission and an advisor to the Science and Technology Commission of the former General Armaments Department, and an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. He lived incognito for 40 years and dedicated his life to building China's nuclear shield. He participated in and presided over the first atomic bomb and hydrogen bomb tests, as well as many nuclear tests including the flight test of the combination of the "two bombs", making outstanding contributions to the establishment of China's nuclear test science and technology system with Chinese characteristics. He was one of the meritorious scientists in developing China's atomic and hydrogen bombs and man - made satellites. He made significant contributions to forging a security barrier for China's reform and opening - up and promoting the cause of building China into a science and technology power. He was a role model of the era who dedicated himself to the Party and the country. He was awarded the "August 1 Medal", the "Meritorious Medal for Making Great Contributions to the Development of China's Atomic and Hydrogen Bombs and Man - made Satellites", and the State Preeminent Science and Technology Award. Internal friction theory Cheng Kaijia was the first to conduct systematic research on the thermodynamic internal friction theory. He established the systematic thermodynamic internal friction theory for the first time, providing a powerful theoretical analysis tool for dealing with more complex internal friction processes. He also carried out research on the proof of the Brillouin zone in the energy - band theory, the calculation of binding energy, and the FFI model theory. Two - band theory Cheng Kaijia made excellent achievements in the strict proof of the Dirac equation for free particles and the five - dimensional field theory. In 1948, together with his tutor, the famous physicist M. Born, he proposed the two - band theory of superconductivity and published many relevant papers in magazines such as Nature. Since 1986, Cheng Kaijia further developed and improved the two - band theory of superconductivity, proved that BCS's electron - pairing theory was wrong, and published two monographs on superconductivity. He proposed a new electron theory of condensed matter, known as the TFDC (Thomas - Fermi - Dirac - Cheng) theory, which was verified by experiments and provided a new theoretical basis for the study of material properties and the design of new materials. Nuclear tests In the 1960s, Cheng Kaijia established and developed China's nuclear explosion theory systematically expounding physical phenomena during atmospheric nuclear explosions or underground ones along with their generation mechanisms & development laws; this has been verified & improved in successive tests becoming an important basis for overall design, safety assessment, test diagnosis & effect research of Chinese nuclear tests. Guided by this theory, he founded the research field of nuclear explosion effects, established and improved the technical routes, safety regulations and technical measures for different types of nuclear tests. He led and promoted the establishment and scientific development of China's nuclear test technology system, guided the establishment of the basic framework for test diagnosis in nuclear tests, studied and solved key technical problems in nuclear tests, met the increasing requirements of nuclear tests, and supported the improvement of China's nuclear weapon design and combat application. Radiation hardening In the 1980s, Cheng Kaijia initiated the research field of radiation hardening technology in China. Under his leadership, systematic studies were carried out on the nuclear explosion radiation environment, the principles methods & technologies of radiation hardening for electronic components & systems; radiation fields from nuclear tests were used to study radiation effects & hardening methods. He guided construction of advanced experimental simulation conditions promoted self–designed construction projects regarding facilities simulating nuclear radiations conducting fundamental theoretical studies & experiments which promoted continuous development of Chinese radiation - hardening technology providing technical support for enhancing survival capabilities & penetration abilities of strategic weapons. Super - hard materials Cheng Kaijia organized units such as the State Key Laboratory of Super - hard Materials at Jilin University, supported by The National Natural Science Foundation of China, to apply this theory to research on diamond catalysts nanotube generation thin - film large - capacitance etc., making important contributions towards developing iron–based catalysts for synthetic diamonds.
