Aleksandr Ilyich Akhiezer
(
Ukrainian
:
Олекса?ндр ?лл??ч Ах???зер
,
Russian
:
Алекса?ндр Ильи?ч Ахие?зер
; October 18, 1911 – May 4, 2000) was a Soviet and
Ukrainian
theoretical physicist
, known for contributions to numerous branches of theoretical physics, including
quantum electrodynamics
,
nuclear physics
,
solid state physics
,
quantum field theory
, and the theory of
plasma
.

Biography
[
edit
]
Akhiezer was born in
Cherykaw
,
Russian Empire
in what is now
Mogilev Region
,
Belarus
. He studied radio engineering at
Kyiv Polytechnic Institute
in 1929–34. From 1934, he worked at the
Ukrainian Institute of Physics and Technology
in
Kharkiv
. With
Isaak Pomeranchuk
and under the supervision of
Lev Landau
, he studied light-light scattering and was awarded a
Ph.D.
in 1936.
When Landau left Kharkiv in 1938, Akhiezer became head of the department of Theoretical Physics. A treatise on wave absorption in modulated
quasiparticles
gave him a
habilitation
degree in 1941, since when he was
full professor
at the same place until his death at the age of 89.
With
Cyril Sinelnikov
and Anton K. Valter he founded the faculty of physics and technology. With Pomeranchuk he studied
neutron scattering
and
plasma physics
at the
Kurchatov nuclear physics institute
in
Moscow
(1944?52).
