Yuri Yevgenyevich Perlin

Yuri Jewgenjewitsch Perlin ( Russian Юрий Евгеньевич Перлин ; born September 17 ^{. Jul} / thirtieth September  1917 ^greg. In Kirsanov ; † 10. March 1990 in Chisinau ) was a Soviet theoretical physicists , solid state physicists and university teachers .

Life

Yuri Perlin's Jewish father, Yevgeny Isaakowitsch Perlin, was a professor of philology at the University of Kiev . He was friends with the pianist Heinrich Neuhaus and the poet Boris Pasternak , who often stayed at Perlin's house.

Yuri Perlin attended Kiev School No. 45 and began studying physics at Kiev University in 1936 . In the same year, his father, along with eleven other professors from Kiev University, was accused of participating in the right-wing Trotskyist - Menshevik bloc and shot. Yuri and his mother Rebekka Iosifovna were deported as members of a family traitor to the fatherland to the village of Uil near Aktobe in Kazakhstan , where Yuri taught physics in the middle school. In 1939 he was allowed to return to Kiev and continue his studies at the University of Kiev. After the attack on the Soviet Union , the advanced students of the Kiev University were evacuated to Saratov , so that Yuri Perlin graduated from the University of Saratov in 1941 due to the study shortening program .

After graduating, Perlin worked briefly as a physics teacher in the city ​​of Engels before he was drafted into the army . After training at the Military School of liaison officers in Ulyanovsk , he served in the technical force as the commander of a three Studebaker - trucks installed transmitter the army radio station . For some time the radio station served as a representation of Poland in the Soviet Union .

After demobilization in October 1945, Perlin worked as a physics teacher at the Kiev School of Young Workers . From September 1946 to 1949 he was an aspirant at the Institute of Physics of the Academy of Sciences of the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic (AN-USSR) (together with KB Tolpygo and IM Dykman ) to prepare a candidate dissertation at SI Pekar , which Perlin successfully defended in 1950. With Pekar he achieved important results on the polaron theory .

After defending his candidate dissertation, Perlin became a lecturer at the Chair of Experimental Physics at the Moldovan State University in Chisinau . In 1952 he was appointed lecturer , and in October 1953 he was appointed to the chair for theoretical physics that had been set up for him and which he headed until 1988. He also gave lectures at the Ion Creangă State University of Education in Chisinau. In his scientific work he concentrated on the theory of the electron - phonon interaction in crystal - impurities . In 1959, he and others founded the Theoretical Physics Department of the Moldovan Academy of Sciences . In 1961 he successfully defended his doctoral dissertation in the Leningrad Physics-Technical Institute and received his doctorate in physical-mathematical sciences . Together with his student BS Zukerblat , Perlin made important contributions to the theory of multi- phonon processes in imperfections with a small radius . He and his students also contributed to the theory of the Jahn-Teller effect . In 1970 he became a corresponding member of the Moldovan Academy of Sciences. He also worked in the Quantum Chemistry Department of the Moldovan Academy of Sciences. He was co-editor of the journals Crystal Lattice Defects ( USA ) and Badania materiałowe (Poland).

Perlin founded the Chisinau School of Theoretical Physics and Solid State Physics , to which IB Bersuker , BS Zukerblat, WA Kowarski , BG Wechter , MD Kaplan , BP Kowarskaja and many others belonged.
