School of Physics and Technology of University of Kharkiv now being carried by the department. The department is considered to be the most difficult department at the school. Students of the department study special courses on elementary particles, quantum electrodynamics, general relativity, astrophysics, theoretical nuclear physics, solid-state theory, and plasma physics. In addition, the professors of the department teach most of the bachelors-level mathematics and theoretical physics courses at the school. The department was created in 1937 by Anton Valter. The name of the department changed several times: "Department of Physics of the Atomic Nucleus", "Department of Physics of the Atomic Nucleus and Electronics", "Department of Electronic Processes", "Department
Ugo Fano Fano spent 1936–37 with Werner Heisenberg in Leipzig. In 1939, he married Camilla Lattes, also known as "Lilla", a teacher who would collaborate with him in a well-known book on atomic and molecular physics, "Physics of Atoms and Molecules" (1959). Appendix III of this book presents an elementary description of the collision of two charged particles, which was used by Richard Feynman in lectures that have been published as "". An expanded version of this book was subsequently published as "Basic Physics of Atoms and Molecules" (1972). Later that year, he immigrated to the United States due to increasing antisemitic
