Theory of kinetic phenomena in conducting systems

Arbitrary dispersion low of charge carriers

Small size conductors (wires and plates)

Layered conductors

Metallic multilayers and normal metal - superconductor systems


· Galvanomagnetic, high-frequency and magnetoacoustic effects in degenerate conductors have been investigated theoretically for arbitrary dispersion low of charge carriers [1-5]. The method of studying of topological structures of an electron energy spectrum by means of research of galvanomagnetic and magnetoacoustic phenomena in metals has been developed.

· The theory of the kinetic phenomena in conductors of the small sizes has been developed for an arbitrary character of interaction of charge carriers with a surface of a conductor [2, 3]. Nondestructive method of studying of a metal surface with the help own quasiparticles had been proposed.


· A number kinetic effects giving the detailed information on a energy spectrum and relaxation properties of a charge carriers in layered conductors is predicted and theoretically investigated [4, 5].

· The kinetic phenomena in normal multilayers and two-layer systems normal metal – superconductor have been studied. It has been shown, that the experimental investigation of kinetic coefficients of such systems allows obtaining the detailed information on the electron interaction with surfaces of the sample and with interfaces between layers [6].

· The existence of the spectral windows for electromagnetic and spin collective modes in layered conductors in certain directions of a magnetic field under strong spatial dispersion has been predicted. Dispersion equations determining the spectrum of the spin collective modes for an arbitrary form of the Landau-Silin correlation function have been obtained [7].
