Leonid Michailowitsch Biberman

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Leonid "Leon" Mikhailovich Biberman ( Russian Леонид Михайлович Биберман , English transcription: Leonid Mikhailovich Biberman ; born March 25, jul. / 7. April  1915 greg. In Poti , Georgia ; † 23. September 1998 in Moscow ) was a Russian physicist, who worked in the field of plasma physics .

Life

Biberman studied from 1935 to 1940 at the Moscow Energy Institute and then began an aspirantur at Valentin Fabrikant. During the Second World War he served in the Red Army from 1941 to 1945 and was honored twice with medals. After the end of the war he continued his apprenticeship and graduated in 1946 with the academic degree of candidate in science. In 1959 he acquired the Russian doctorate (corresponds to the habilitation). In the late 1940s and early 1950s, the development of a theory of radiation transfer was the focus of his scientific interest. The relationship known in Russian-language literature as the Biberman- Holstein equation plays a central role in the investigation of the kinetics and transport of excited resonance states in gases, plasmas and in condensed matter. During these years he published numerous other papers, including on plasma diagnostics. In the second half of the 1950s he devoted himself specifically to the theory of heat transfer through radiation. His findings on the behavior of spaceships when entering the dense layers of the atmosphere contributed significantly to the optimization of the thermal insulation of Soviet spaceships.

From 1965 Biberman worked at the Institute for High Temperatures of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR , where he built up a theory department. In 1968 he published a monograph on the optical properties of low-temperature plasmas. In addition, he increasingly dealt with various questions of magnetohydrodynamic generators .

In addition to his work at the Academy of Sciences, he was a professor at the Moscow Energy Institute for three decades.

In 1979 he was elected a corresponding member of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR .

Biberman died on September 23, 1998 and was buried in the Vagankovo ​​Cemetery in Moscow.
