Mark Jakowlewitsch Asbel ( Russian Марк Яковлевич Азбель , English Mark Azbel ; born May 12, 1932 in Charkow , Ukrainian SSR , Soviet Union ; † March 31, 2020 in Israel ) was a Soviet-Israeli physicist and university professor .

Life

Asbel, son of a Jewish family of doctors , lived with his family in the evacuation in Siberia from 1941 to 1944 during the German-Soviet War . Back in Kharkov he attended middle school and in 1948 began studying physics at Kharkov University . After graduating, he taught mathematics at night school. In addition, he completed his postgraduate studies and was awarded his doctorate in 1955 as a candidate in physical-mathematical sciences (doctorate A).

In 1955 Asbel began his scientific work at the Kharkov Physics and Technology Institute . In 1957 he successfully defended his dissertation under Lew Landau and Pyotr Kapiza in the Institute for Physical Problems of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR (later the Kapiza Institute) and was awarded a doctorate in physical and mathematical sciences . In 1964 he switched to the Lomonossow University in Moscow as a professor and also headed a department at the Landau Institute for Theoretical Physics . One focus of work was cyclotron resonance . In the lecture, which is still being held, on dynamic properties of magnetic materials , cyclotron resonance is addressed as Asbel- Kaner resonance. Together with Ilja Lifschitz and Moissei Kaganow , Asbel wrote the monograph Electron Theory of Metals .

In 1972 Asbel applied to travel to Israel . In 1973 he received a call to Tel Aviv University , whereupon he gave his lectures by telephone. He took part in the Refusenik movement and for two years edited the political and literary newspaper Jews in the USSR , which the physicist Alexander Woronel founded (emigrated to Israel in 1975). Asbel emigrated to Israel in 1977 and became a professor at Tel Aviv University.

He died on March 31, 2020 at the age of 87.
