Andrei Viktorovich Gaponov-Grekhov (Russian: Андрей Викторович Гапонов-Грехов; 7 June 1926 – 2 June 2022)[1] was a Russian (Soviet) physicist, a Full Member of the USSR Academy of Sciences (1968, a Full Member of the Russian Academy of Sciences since 1991), the founder of the Institute of Applied Physics in Nizhny Novgorod, and its first director in 1976-2003.[2]
Biography
Andrey V. Gaponov-Grekhov was born on 7 June 1926 into a
A. V. Gaponov-Grekhov followed his parents' footsteps: after graduating from school, he entered the special faculty of the Gorky Industrial Institute. After completing two courses, he transferred to the Faculty of Radiophysics of the Gorky State University, from which he graduated in 1949. The same year, he became a PhD student of Academician
After graduation, he worked as a lecturer at the Gorky Polytechnic Institute (1952-1955), and after receiving his doctorate he worked at Physical-Technical Research Institute of the Gorky State University until 1977, while remaining a professor at the Polytechnic Institute.
On 26 June 1964, A.V. Gaponov-Grekhov became a corresponding member of the USSR Academy of Sciences in the Division of General and Applied Physics, and on 26 November 1968 he became a full member of the Academy. Since 1966 he worked as a Deputy Director of the NIRFI. In 1976, he became the Director of the Institute of Applied Physics of the USSR Academy of Sciences (IAP RAS) and headed it until 2003. In 2003-2015, he was a scientific supervisor of the IAP RAS and in the last years of his life, a counsellor of the Russian Academy of Sciences.
A. V. Gaponov-Grekhov was the editor-in-chief of the journal "Bulletin of the Russian Academy of Sciences: Physics", a member of the editorial boards of the journals "Plasma Physics Reports", "Radiophysics and Quantum Electronics", "Acoustics Physics", JETP, "Technical Physics", and "Optoelectronics, Instrumentation and Data Processing".
A. V. Gaponov-Grekhov's younger brother is Sergey V. Gaponov (born in 1937), a physicist, a Full Member of the Russian Academy of Sciences.
A. V. Gaponov-Grekhov died in Nizhny Novgorod on 2 June 2022 at the age of 95.
Scientific activity
Since the late 1950s, A. V. Gaponov-Grekhov has been engaged in intense research in the field of nonlinear wave processes, as well as in solving the problem of generating and amplifying high-power high-frequency electromagnetic oscillations in the millimeter and submillimeter wavelength ranges. He was one of the pioneers in studying the phenomenon of shock electromagnetic waves.
A. V. Gaponov-Grekhov developed the theory of stimulated radiation of classical nonlinear oscillators and the principle of generation and amplification of electromagnetic waves by flows of excited non-isochronous oscillators based on this theory. Gyrotrons, the devices developed on these principles, have found application in thermonuclear reactors and tracking of space objects.
A. V. Gaponov-Grekhov is the author of about 150 scientific papers on
