Head of the Department: Georgi G.Levchenko, doctor of physico-mathematical sciences (062) 337-96-99
Directions of Scientific Researches: Electron states and their developments in magnetic, optical and electroconductive properties at phase transformations: in metal-organic compounds with a changing spin state; in molecular and molecular-like compounds possessing a long magnetic order; in HTSC-compounds and compounds possessing a tremendous magneto resistance.
The investigation techniques: X-ray analysis; magnetometry in a wide range of temperatures, pressures, magnetic fields; EPR; optical and Mossbauer spectroscopy; chemical substitution.
Basic Results
A pressure-induced full low spin-high spin transformation was first detected in iron-bearing metallic-organic comounds. For the first time a “spin volume” was experimentally detected in the quantum system îÅ3.
It was found out that a structural dimensionality of metallic-organic compounds is of a crucial importance in the behavior of the phase high spin-low spin transformation in ironbearing compounds. This importance is conditioned by the character of intra- and interchain interactions which are determined by the availability of hydrate or π-π-bonds.
In some organic and non-organic substances there were revealed and studied magnetic centers marked by the appearance of a non-centrality effect. An important peculiarity of the centers revealed is the fact that they were formed by ions of trivalent iron Fe3+. We can conclude that the non-centrality effect is characteristic of Fe3+ ions in organic and non-organic substances of different composition and structure.
It was established that vibrone and mixed states play an essential role in the formation of temperature-dependent characteristics of some metallic-organic and perovskite systems, namely, the character of conductivity, EPR-spectrum, magneto resistive effect etc.
There have been determined the ways of current flow in the vicinity of ôÓ , and the superconductivity dimensionality in HTSC-films of different thickness.
