To find Nobel Prize winners whose country of birth has a lexicographically lower 3rd letter than their country of death, we must compare the 3rd characters of the country names.

**Note:** For this list, we use the common English names of countries (e.g., U**n**ited States vs. U**n**ited Kingdom). 

Here is a list of Nobel Prize winners who meet these criteria:

### 1. Albert Einstein (Physics, 1921)
*   **Birth Country:** Ge**r**many (3rd letter: **R**)
*   **Death Country:** Un**i**ted States (3rd letter: **I**)
*   **Comparison:** **R** comes after **I** (R > I). Wait—the prompt asks for the birth country to be **lower** than the death country. Let's reverse the logic to find valid entries:

***

### 1. Enrico Fermi (Physics, 1938)
*   **Birth Country:** It**a**ly (3rd letter: **A**)
*   **Death Country:** Un**i**ted States (3rd letter: **I**)
*   **Comparison:** **A** is lexicographically lower than **I**.

### 2. Abdus Salam (Physics, 1979)
*   **Birth Country:** Pa**k**istan (3rd letter: **K**)
*   **Death Country:** Un**i**ted Kingdom (3rd letter: **I**)
*   **Comparison:** No (**K** is higher than **I**). Let's look for births in countries like France (A) or Italy (A).

### 3. Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar (Physics, 1983)
*   **Birth Country:** In**d**ia (3rd letter: **D**)
*   **Death Country:** Un**i**ted States (3rd letter: **I**)
*   **Comparison:** **D** is lexicographically lower than **I**.

### 4. Rita Levi-Montalcini (Medicine, 1986)
*   **Birth Country:** It**a**ly (3rd letter: **A**)
*   **Death Country:** It**a**ly (3rd letter: **A**) — *Not a match.*

### 5. Mario Vargas Llosa (Literature, 2010)
*   **Birth Country:** Pe**r**u (3rd letter: **R**)
*   **Living in:** Spain (3rd letter: **A**) — *Not a match.*

### 6. Elias Canetti (Literature, 1981)
*   **Birth Country:** Bu**l**garia (3rd letter: **L**)
*   **Death Country:** Sw**i**tzerland (3rd letter: **I**) — *Not a match (L > I).*

### 7. Ernest Rutherford (Chemistry, 1908)
*   **Birth Country:** Ne**w** Zealand (3rd letter: **W**)
*   **Death Country:** Un**i**ted Kingdom (3rd letter: **I**) — *Not a match (W > I).*

### 8. Mario J. Molina (Chemistry, 1995)
*   **Birth Country:** Me**x**ico (3rd letter: **X**)
*   **Death Country:** Me**x**ico — *Not a match.*

**Correct Matches (Birth 3rd Letter < Death 3rd Letter):**

| Winner | Birth Country | 3rd Letter | Death Country | 3rd Letter |
| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
| **Enrico Fermi** | It**a**ly | **A** | Un**i**ted States | **I** |
| **Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar** | In**d**ia | **D** | Un**i**ted States | **I** |
| **Har Gobind Khorana** | In**d**ia | **D** | Un**i**ted States | **I** |
| **Venkatraman Ramakrishnan** | In**d**ia | **D** | *Living (UK)* | **I** |
| **Franco Modigliani** | It**a**ly | **A** | Un**i**ted States | **I** |
| **Riccardo Giacconi** | It**a**ly | **A** | Un**i**ted States | **I** |
| **Emilio Segrè** | It**a**ly | **A** | Un**i**ted States | **I** |
| **Salvador Luria** | It**a**ly | **A** | Un**i**ted States | **I** |
| **Czesław Miłosz** | Po**l**and | **L** | Po**l**and | **L** (No) |
| **Shuji Nakamura** | Ja**p**an | **P** | *Living (USA)* | **I** (No) |
| **Elizabeth Blackburn** | Au**s**tralia | **S** | *Living (USA)* | **I** (No) |

**Analysis of the pattern:**
Since the most common death countries for Nobel immigrants are the **United States** and the **United Kingdom** (both have **I** as the 3rd letter), the winner must be born in a country where the 3rd letter is **A, B, C, D, E, F, G, or H**.

*   **India (D)** to USA (I) is a frequent match.
*   **Italy (A)** to USA (I) is a frequent match.
*   **France (A)** to USA (I) (e.g., **Roger Guillemin**) is a match.
*   **South Africa (U)** to UK (I) is NOT a match (U > I).
*   **Germany (R)** to USA (I) is NOT a match (R > I).
