The B. Verkin Institute for Low Temperature Physics and Engineering was founded in 1960 by professors Borys Vyerkin, Oleksandr Halkin, B.Eselson and Ihor Dmytrenko. The first director was Vyerkin.
The institute conducts basic research in experimental and theoretical physics, mathematics, as well as in the field of applied physics. 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]
History
On May 13, 1960 the presidium of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine issued a decision to establish the Kharkiv Physics and Technical Institute for Low Temperatures on the initiative of several scientists from the Ukrainian Institute of Physics and Technology.
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 Mathematics Department.
In 1991 ILTPE was named after its founder — B. Verkin.
