NASU Institute of Physics
50°23′11″N 30°31′42″E / 50.38642°N 30.52827°E
The Institute of Physics (IOP) of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine (Ukrainian: Інститут фізики Національної академії наук України, romanized: Instytut fizyky Natsionalnoi akademii nauk Ukrainy) founded in 1926 is the oldest research institution of physical science within the academy. Being on the path of both infrastructure development and research diversification for more than 80 years, the institute has eventually originated five more specialized research institutions.
Currently, the institute employs more than 300 researchers (together with two full members and eight corresponding members of the NASU) and around 200 peoples of supporting personnel. It has more than 20 scientific units (including the state-of-the-art Femtosecond Laser Complex) which are grouped around four research programs
Traditionally, the institute is focused on fundamental research. At the same time, applied research on cryogenics, LC displays, laser systems, pyroelectric detectors, biophysics and plasma technologies strengthen the institute's activities.
The IOP is consistently ranked at the top of national academic institutions ranking. Besides, international reputation of IOP is growing constantly as prominent scientists from the Institute expand their activity to leading foreign research centers and universities.
The origin of the Institute of Physics dates back to 1921, when the Kyiv Regional Department of Education established the Physics research laboratory. The following year, it was transformed into the Kyiv Science-Research Department of Physics at Kyiv Polytechnic Institute. The separate entity was established in 1929, when the department was transformed into the Science-Research Institute of Physics of the People's Commissariat of Education of the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic. It was eventually renamed as the Institute of Physics of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine. In 2009, the institute celebrated its 80th anniversary.
Academician O.G. Goldman was the founder and the first director of the institute, which has 20 employees in 1929, including 6 scientists and 10 graduate students. In the first years of existence, the institute mainly focused on the training of young scientists and finding its own areas of specialization. Many people who successfully defended their PhD theses in that time then became famous scientists. Among them: academicians V.Ye. Lashkaryov, S.I. Pekar and V.P. Linnik, associate members of the Academy of Sciences N.D. Morgulis and P.G. Borzyak, doctors of science M.D. Gabovich, O.G. Miselyuk and others. In 1938, the institute has 3 major research specializations: Semiconductor physics (heads O.G. Goldman, V.Ye. Lashkaryov since 1939); Physics of electronic and electrovacuum processes (head N.D. Morgulis); X-ray physics of metals (head S.D. Gertsriken)
Before the Soviet Union was attacked by Germany in 1941, the institute employed 122 persons, including 36 scientists and 7 graduate students. The institute has also experimental workshops with qualified staff and state-of-the-art equipment. Ukrainian physical notes, a journal, was published between 1929 and 1936.
