The Institute of Physics of NAS of Ukraine provides fundamental and applied research in the fields of:

– condensed matter physics, including soft matter physics;

– nanophysics and nanoelectronics;

– lasers physics, nonlinear and singular optics, holography;

– surface physics, emission and plasma electronics.

Within the abovementioned fields the main research areas are:

– theoretical and experimental studies of quasi-particles (electrons, excitons, phonons, magnons, plasmons) and processes of their mutual interaction and interaction with defects in condensed environments;

– research into nanophysics and nanoelectronics aimed at establishing new physical laws, development of new devices, materials and technologies;

– studies of interactions of laser radiation with substances and development of laser technologies on their basis;

– research and development of new liquid-crystal and polymeric materials and devices on their basis;

– studies of adsorption and electronic phenomena and phase transitions on the surface of solid materials;

– development of new-generation pyroelectric detectors;

– research and development of novel ion-beam and plasma technologies;

– study of physical processes in biological systems.

Science schools in basic research have been established and successfully worked at the Institute of Physics:

– optics and spectroscopy of non-metal crystals (founded by NAS academician A. F. Prychotko);

– nonlinear optics and laser physics (NAS academician M. S. Brodyn and NAS corresponding member Μ. S. Soskin);

– physical electronics (NAS corresponding members M. D. Morgulis and P. G. Borzyak);

– physics of ion beams and ion sources (Prof. Μ. D. Gabovych, Dr. Sc.);

– solid state theory’ (NAS academicians Ξ. S. Davydov and S. I. Pekar).

We offer for joint commercialization:

– lasers, optical materials for laser engineering, laser systems and their elements;

– a complete set of holographic lattices for training under the university program of optics;

– laser precise micromarker complex for processing supersolid materials;

– radiation and plasma technologies for processing materials and depositing coatings;

– a unique plasma device for sterilizing medical materials and tools;

– a portable analyzer of drinking water quality;

– metal cryostats and precision systems for temperature control in cryosystems.
