Department of

Physics

The department provides fundamental training of highly qualified engineering personnel taking into account the modern development of physical science and its applications. The staff of the department is currently one of the largest in the university: the department includes 35 teachers, including 8 professors and 19 associate professors, 6 senior teachers and 2 assistants, as well as 4 researchers and 23 teaching and support staff. There are 5 doctors of science and 18 candidates of science among the teachers, and 3 candidates of science among the teaching and support staff. The strong personnel potential of the department allows to successfully solve any educational and scientific tasks. Much attention is paid to the methodology of teaching the course of general physics in a technical university. The teachers of the department have created original courses on solid state physics, theoretical physics, fundamentals of thermoelectricity, electron microscopy, physical foundations of strength, laser technique and technology, quantum radiophysics and nonlinear optics, etc. The physics course is taught in English to foreign students. Employees of the department conduct active scientific and research work within the framework of projects financed by both Ukrainian and international funds, participate in prestigious scientific conferences, and cooperate fruitfully with foreign universities.

Directions of scientific activity

The department intensively conducts research on:

  • electron microscopic study of growth processes, structural perfection of metal and semiconductor thin films, as well as phase and structural transformations occurring in them;
  • research of the structure and physical properties of complex semiconducting and semimetallic alloys for thermoelectricity;
  • development of the physical foundations of the creation of nanoscale highly efficient thermoelectric materials, including those based on solid solutions of topological insulators;
  • the study of properties, structural and phase transformations in quasi-low-dimensional and film systems with nanostructural inhomogeneities of the lattice;
  • development of synthesis methods, study of the structure and optical properties of multilayer systems of functional materials of micro- and nanoelectronics;
  • scientific research in the field of physics course teaching methodology.
