A technique for describing various processes proceeding in matter and involving neutrinos and electrons is discussed. This technique is based on 'the method of exact solutions,' which implies the use of solutions to proper Dirac equations for particle wave functions in matter. Exact solutions for the neutrino and the electron in the cases of uniform nonmoving and rotating matter are discussed. On studying relativistic neutrino motion and associated neutrino-energy quantization in rotating matter, a semiclassical interpretation of particle finite motion is developed. In the general case of neutrino and electron motion in matter with varying parameters, the corresponding effective force acting on the particles is determined. The possibility of electromagnetic-wave radiation by an electron that moves in a dense neutrino flux of varying density and which is accelerated by this kind of force is predicted.
