B. Verkin Institute for Low Temperature Physics and Engineering of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine
The B. Verkin Institute for Low Temperature Physics and Engineering of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine (Ukrainian: Фізико-технічний інститут низьких температур імені Б. І. Вєркіна Національної академії наук України) is a research institute that conducts basic research in experimental and theoretical physics, mathematics, as well as in the field of applied physics. It was founded in 1960 by Borys Verkin, Oleksandr Galkin, Borys. Eselson and Ihor Dmytrenko. The first director was Borys Verkin.
Main areas of research are high-temperature superconductivity, weak superconductivity, magneto antiferromagnets, physics of low-dimensional systems, point-contact spectroscopy, quantum crystals, nonlinear phenomena in metals, physics of disordered systems, quantum phenomena in plasticity and others. The institute has published about 250 monographs, textbooks, reference books, more than 12,000 articles and reviews in ranking scientific journals, and has trained more than 850 highly qualified experts — PhDs.[1]
B Verkin Institute for Low Temperature Physics and Engineering of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine.
The institute was created by nine laboratories involved in low temperature physics. Four math departments were also established. In 1987 they were organized into the ILTPE Mathematical Division.
In 1991 ILTPE was named after its founder — B. Verkin.
