Isaak Markowitsch Dykman

Isaak Markowitsch Dykman ( Russian Исаак Маркович Дыкман ; * 7 April ^July / 20 April  1911 ^greg. In Smorgon ; † December 7, 2001 in East Lansing ) was a Soviet theoretical physicist , solid-state physicist and university professor .

Life

Dykman studied physics at the University of Kiev with a degree in 1936. In 1939 he began his scientific work at the Kiev Institute of Physics of the Academy of Sciences of the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic (AN-USSR) , which was then interrupted by the German-Soviet War 1940-1945 . Together with KB Tolpygo he was an aspirant to work on a candidate dissertation with Solomon Pekar .

In 1960 Dykman moved to the newly founded Kiev Institute for Semiconductor Physics of the AN-USSR. In 1964 he received his doctorate in physical-mathematical sciences . 1966–1983 he headed Department No. 2 for Theory of Semiconductors and Semiconductor Devices. The focus of his work was the theory of electron movement in strong electromagnetic fields . He wrote the textbook Transport Phenomena and Fluctuations in Semiconductors . In 1991 he finally left the institute. In addition to his research activities, he taught from 1963 to 1972 (from 1968 as a professor) at the chair for theoretical physics at the University of Kiev .

In retirement, Dykman lived in East Lansing with his son Mark Isaakowitsch Dykman, a professor of physics at Michigan State University .
