| Abstract/Description: | Discusses his path into science; his education at Kharkiv University, student life, and first teachers; beginnings of his science career in the Theory Department of Kharkiv Institute of Physics and Technology; work with G. Lyubarsky; electron stretcher calcuations; history of Theory Department including the pre-war time, Paul Ehrenfest, Lev Landau, foreign visitors, Landau's pupils, theoretical physics after World War II, the Atom project, Ilya Lifshits, and O. Akhiezer. Describes the daughter institute - Physiotechnical Law temperature Institute in Kharkiv; being head of the Theory Department; structure of divisions; research on nonlinear phenomena in plasma, the theory of adiabatic invariants, structure and phase stability of irradiated solids, amorphous solids, and nuclear energy. | |
| Note(s): |
Advance notice of two business days required to use audio or video tapes. Interview was conducted by Yuri Ranyuk on 5 March 1995. Interview was conducted as part of a series of oral history interviews with senior physicists on the origin and development of physics in Ukraine. The subject matter runs from pioneering nuclear disintigration experiments done in 1932 through the continuing development of nuclear, plasma, theoretical, material, low temperature, and other physics in former Soviet Union (now Ukraine). Digital master copy saved to external hard drive, 2013. Loan copies may be made from digital copy. Physicist (nonlinear mechanics, plasma, physics of amorphous solids). Head of Theory Department, National Scientific Center, Kharkiv Institute of Physics and Technology. Born 1938. In Ukrainian. |
