INSTITUTE FOR CONDENSED MATTER PHYSICS
  GENERAL INFORMATION


The Institute for Condensed Matter Physics was founded in September, 1990 on the base of the Lviv Division of Statistical Physics of the Institute for Theoretical Physics of the Academy of Sciences of Ukraine.


Number of researchers - 74,
Post graduate students - 8,
Total number of employees - 97.

RESEARCH ACTIVITY

The Institute performs research on modern problems of statistical physics and condensed matter theory in the following fields:

    - mathematical problems of statistical physics;
    - physics of liquids, solutions and melts of electrolytes;
    - soft matter physics, physics of colloids;
    - phase transitions theory;
    - quantum thory of solids;
    - strongly correlated electronic systems;
    - physics of metals and alloys;
    - theory of high temperature superconductivity;
    - theory of nonequilibrium processes in plasmas and liquids;
    - theory of magnets, ferroelectrics, H-bonded and disordered systems;
    - computer modelling of physical processes;
    - relativistic mechanics of interacting particles;
    - physical and chemical processes in fuel containing masses in the conditions of Chornobyl's "Shelter";
    - theory of heterogenous catalysis;
    - surface phenomena.


PUBLISHING ACTIVITY


Since 1992, the Institute issues the quarterly Condensed Matter Physics journal and publishes preprints of research papers. Condensed Matter Physics and ICMP Preprints are issued in print and in the World Wide Web:

CONFERENCES

The Institute regularly organizes international conferences, symposiums and workshops. For example, during last years

were held.



For the interested parties the Institute proposes joint investigations in the above mentioned fields, particularly, concerning the development of analytical methods of statistical physics; theory of equilibrium and nonequilibrium properties of solids, liquids and amorphous systems; microscopic theory of phase transitions for the wide class of physical systems; theory of surface phenomena in liquids; development of new methods for calculation of electronic structure for metals and alloys; description of the physical and chemical processes in the nuclear "magma" interacting with water in the conditions of Chornobyl's object "Shelter", etc.
