Soviet physicist, who became a professor at the Lebedev Instttute of Physics in Moscow. In 1934, whUe observing radioactive radiation underwater, he discovered Cerenkov radiation. The explanatton of the phenomenon was provided by Igor Tamm (1895-1971) and Ilya Frank (1908-90), and in 1958 the three scientists shared the Nobel Prize for physics. 

The vibrations of the nuclei of a metal form delocalized waves in the same way as electrons or EM waves in open space. The word phonon corresponds directly to the word photon for EM radiation. Phonon means sound in Greek and was originally suggested by the Russian physicist Igor Tamm.
