Welcome to the site of our department!
The main areas of our research are experimental and theoretical investigations of transport of normal metal and superconducting systems at low temperatures.
We have accumulated the wide experience of developing original experimental and theoretical methods.
Since 1970 our main results are: the observation of
quantum size effect and effects of weak localization in thin films of
semimetals, the discovery new type of quantum oscillations of kinetic coefficients, which
can be observed at relatively high temperatures etc.
Theoretical works, which are carrying
out in the department, continue the traditions of scientific school of I.
Lifshitz. Results of investigations of kinetic phenomena in metals with
an arbitrary dispersion low of charge carriers, which had been obtained by our
theorists, contributed essentially in the development of the electron theory of
metals.
Results of investigations are published in
reviews and books. They were awarded the prestigious
national prizes.
Now we study experimentally the quantum
transport in new conducting systems: two-dimensional electron gas,
multicomponent conductors and superconductors,
normal metal-superconductor systems. We investigate theoretically
the electron transport in
organic layered conductors and tunnel
point contacts.
Our field of interests are the effects of weak localization,
interaction of charge carriers, spin-orbit interaction in 2D electron gas,
quantum Hall effect, the influence of crystal lattice disorder on kinetic,
superconducting and magnetic properties, quantum coherent phenomena in the
system normal metal - superconductor, kinetic phenomena in layered metals and
point contacts.
Our experimental equipments enable to study conducting properties in the
temperature range 75 mK - 300 K in magnetic field up to 6 T.
