Reona Esaki (江崎 玲於奈, Esaki Reona?), conhecido em uma forma ocidentalizada como Leona ou Leo Esaki (Osaka, 12 de março de 1925), é um físico japonês. É um IBM Fellow. Recebeu o Nobel de Física em 1973, por descobertas experimentais referentes ao fenômeno de tunelamento em semicondutores e supercondutores.
Esaki won the Nobel Prize in Physics for his work in electron tunneling in solids — research that forever changed the semiconductor industry. By age 48, he was one of the most respected research physicists in the world and a godfather of home computing.
Since 1969, Esaki has, with his colleagues, pioneered “designed semiconductor quantum structures” such as man-made superlattices, exploring a new quantum regime in the frontier of semiconductor physics. The Nobel Prize in Physics (1973) was awarded in recognition of his pioneering work on electron tunneling in solids.
Leo Esaki (born March 12, 1925, Ōsaka, Japan) is a Japanese solid-state physicist and researcher in superconductivity who shared the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1973 with Ivar Giaever and Brian Josephson.
