Projektbeschreibung der*des Nominierenden

Professor Petrov of the Bogolyubov Institute for Theoretical Physics obtains the Humboldt Award in recognition for his key contributions to the theory of excitons in magnetically ordered insulators. He was also among the first to describe electron transfer processes in proteins by using the concept of quantum tunnelling. Together with his hosts (V. May, HU-Berlin) and P. Hänggi (Augsburg) he is going to undertake research that relates to the manipulation of electronic transport thorugh nanostructures and molecules.
