 Research Focus

  • Search for and synthesis of new single-crystal and polycrystalline magnetically ordered materials; experimental study of the magnetic structure and magnetic phase diagrams of these materials with the use of magnetometry, the Mössbauer effect, and magnetic resonance techniques, including ESR, FMR, and AFMR.
  • Study of the magnetic state of nanoparticles in magnetically active materials.
  • Theoretical analysis of magnetic structures and exchange interactions in the crystals; symmetrical analysis of crystals; construction of microscopic and phenomenological theories of the occurrence of incommensurable and noncollinear magnetic structures.
  • Study of the magnetic and transport properties of compounds based on 3d and 4f metals sulfides.

Research Techniques

  • Flux synthesis of single crystals; high-rate melt-quenching amorphization; solid-state synthesis
  • SQUID magnetometry and resistivity measurements for studying magneto- and electrostatic characteristics of materials
  • ESR, AFMR (dc and pulsed magnetic fields), and optical rf double resonance for studying the resonance properties of nonmetal magnets
  • Mössbauer spectroscopy
  • Analytical calculations and numerical simulation

The measurements are performed at temperatures 4.2—300 K in magnetic fields of up to 120 kOe.
