EDUCATION
1961 Graduated from Leningrad Polytechnic University,
major Hydrodynamics
1966 Ph.D. Thesis “Nonlinear Acousto-electric
Phenomena in Piezoelectric Semiconductors”
EXPERIENCE:
now Professor, Racah Institute of Physics,
The Hebrew University, Jerusalem, Israel
*Developed a consistent theory of interacting
excitons in quantum wells.
*Found very strong fluctuations and the
absense of thermodynamic glassy transition in Coulomb
glasses
*Studied the band structure and developed
a theory of exciton Bose condensation in InAs/GaSb
heterostructures.
*Revised a theory of electron-electron
scattering in 2D electron gas.
*Developed a theory of instability and
high-field domains in superlattices.
*Developed a quasiclassical theory of quantum
galvano-magnetic effects in high mobility 2D electron
gas.
*Showed and analysed new scattering mechanisms
in 2D hole gas.
*Studied vertical transport in different
kinds of heterostructures.
*Taught graduate courses in solid state physics,
physics of semiconductors, mathematical methods in
theoretical physics.
1990-1991: Visiting Professor, Weizmann
Institute of Science, Rehovot 76100 Israel.
*Predicted new nonstationary phenomena
in superlattices.
1989-1990: Researcher, IBM Thomas J.Watson
Research Center, Yorktown Heights, NY 10598,
USA.
Theoretical interpretation of the most
recent experimental results:
*Explained some paradoxes in mutual drag
of electron gases in
heterostructures.
*Explained an unexpectedly long mean free
path of hot electrons in heterostructures
*Estimated parameters of new structures
for heterostructure devices.
1988-1989: Adjunct Professor, Polytechnic University,
Brooklyn, NY 11202, USA.
*Taught undergraduate courses in physics.
*Showed a possibility to observe Coulomb
blockade phenomena at high temperature.
1966-1987: Staff Scientist, A.F.Ioffe Physico-Technical
Institute of USSR Academy of Sciences,
Leningrad, USSR.
