The main areas of scientific activity and theoretical investigations are: thermodynamics and kinetics of quantum crystals, 3He-4He solid solutions, atomic and molecular cryocrystals (among them two-dimensional cryocrystalline nano-systems on substrate) as well as quantum magnetic systems. Current topics of research interests are also theory of crystal lattice defects as well as acoustic and electromagnetic emission during plastic deformation of imperfect crystals. Low temperature anomalies (excessive heat) in the heat capacity of dilute solid 3He-4He mixtures with HCP structures were interpreted within polytypic model of the cryocrystal with haotic packing of the 2D crystalline planes on triangular lattice. The recent researches are devoted to solution of the He-He interaction promlem the rigorous quantum-mechanical statement.

1. Quantum Solids and Liquids

Thermodynamics of solid helium mixtures A consistent theory was developed for description of the temperature dependences of separating helium solid solutions heat capacity at arbitrary concentrations both below and above . It was shown that at the temperature behavior of the heat capacity is completely defined by correlation effects in the impurity subsystem. The theory of density fluctuation in solid 3He-4He solutions with arbitrary concentrations was built to explain the anomalous temperature dependences of pressure experimentally observed in the helium isotopic solid solutions. Low temperature excessive heat of dilute solid 3He-4He mixtures with HCP structures has been explained within the model of crystalline polytype with random packing of the 2D crystalline planes on triangular lattice without breaking the closest packing principle. The polytype model was also applied to explain the low temperature anomalous plastic behavior of solid parahydrogen and solid argon.

Kinetics of cryocrystals The evolution of the heterophase structure of a dilute solid solution 3He in 4He was studied theoretically. Relaxation processes in solid 3He-4He solutions was shown to be controlled by the mobility of the phase boundaries, whose velocity is determined by the quantum diffusion parameters for impurity 3He in the matrix of 4He. The quantum mechanical problem of inelastic phonon scattering on a quadrupole defect (ortho-H2 pair complex in the parahydrogen matrix) was solved and interpreted. The contribution of this mechanism to the low-temperature thermal conductivity was discussed.

Thermodynamics of cryocrystals with molecular impurities. A rigorous analytic theory was developed to describe temperature and concentration dependences of the excess impurity heat capacity of dilute solid solutions of diatomic molecules in a rare gas matrix. The theory is in excellent agreement with the experiment in the wide range of temperatures and concentrations.

Magnetism of 2D 3He monolayers. Within the Heisenberg model the theoretical approach was developed to describe thermodynamic and magnetic properties of the second 3He layer solid on graphite. It was proved the pure Heisenberg behavior of 2D solid He in the ferromagnetic regime. The proposed theory is in excellent agreement with the experimental data for all the temperatures.

Dynamics and thermodynamics of two-dimensional cryocrystals. Low-temperature dynamics and thermodynamics of two-dimensional monoatomic crystals with triangular lattice was investigated theoretically. The phonon spectra and low-temperature heat capacity were calculated analytically for monolayer structures both commensurate and incommensurate with the substrate. The obtained theoretical results provide an explanation for a great variety of experimental data on the spectra of lattice excitations and thermal properties of rare gas and helium monolayers on graphite and metal substrates.

The dynamical interaction of translational and rotational degrees of freedom of a diatomic homonuclear substitutional impurity placed in 2D close-packed atomic matrix on a substrate is investigated theoretically. It is shown that the translational-rotational interaction drastically changes inertial properties of the impurity as compared to a free rotator. Namely, this interaction leads to a strong modification of the kinetic energy operator as well as to renormalization of the crystal field parameters. Such effects can be manifested in the rotational spectrum and the impurity heat capacity of the system at low temperatures.

Interatomic interaction in condensed helium phases. The unusual physical properties of helium condensed phases (essentially different for both 3He and 4He isotopes) means that quantum nature of He-He bond (especially, dynamics of spin subsystem) should be taken into account to interpret the experimentally observable properties of the helium liquid and solid. The series of our recent research is devoted to solution of the corresponding problems in a rigorous quantum-mechanical statement.
