Glinsky, Gennady Fedorovich

Glinsky Gennady Fedorovich (born September 10, 1944 , Khimki, Moscow region) is an electrophysicist, a specialist in electrodynamics, quantum mechanics, quantum field theory, semiconductor physics, and nanostructure physics. He graduated from LETI with a degree in Dielectrics and Semiconductors (1969). Doctor of physico-mathematical sciences (1996), professor (1998). Since 1969 he has been working at the Department of Dielectrics and Semiconductors LETI (now the Department of Micro- and Nanoelectronics ).

Research interests: electrodynamics of moving media, nonlinear fields in vacuum and space-time geometry, quantum field theory, semiconductor physics, exciton and polariton theory, group theory methods in quantum mechanics and solid state physics. In recent years - the calculation of the energy states of charge carriers in semiconductor quantum-dimensional structures (quantum wells, filaments, dots and superlattices), the calculation of the band structure of photonic crystals. He gives lectures, conducts practical and laboratory work on the courses " Solid State Physics ", " Physics of Semiconductors ", " Optics of Semiconductors ", "Physics of Nanosystems".

The main scientific results:

• the effect of nonlinear electromagnetic fields in vacuum on the space-time geometry is predicted;
• developed relativistic electrodynamics of moving anisotropic media. Necessary and sufficient conditions for the absence of birefringence of light in them are determined. In the framework of the general theory of relativity, the absence of birefringence of light in a gravitational field is strictly proved;
• the theory of small vibrations of arbitrarily curved membranes and minimal surfaces is constructed;
• within the framework of the functional methods of quantum field theory, the microscopic theory of exciton and exciton-phonon polaritons in crystals has been developed;
• Using the invariant method, effective kp Hamiltonians for heterostructures based on direct-gap А3В5 semiconductors have been constructed;
• It is shown that, in the effective mass approximation, the exact Schrödinger equation for electrons and holes in semiconductor heterostructures is a system of homogeneous algebraic equations. In these equations, the Bravais lattice nodes act as natural discrete variables necessary for describing the effective Hamiltonians and envelopes of wave functions;
• The theory of photonic crystals based on media with arbitrary anisotropy and gyrotropy of dielectric and magnetic permeabilities is constructed.
