The department was founded in 1932.
The
Department of Physics and Technology of Electrical Materials and Components
educates specialists and researchers in the field of electrical materials
science, electronic materials, electrical insulation and cable technology.
Graduates
of the department successfully work in the electrotechnical industry, power
engineering, research and production organizations and firms. Among them
Vladimir I. Shimko - Minister of Radio Engineering Industry of the USSR,
Anatoly F. Trutko - Director of Research Institute "Pulsar", V.G.
Ogonykov - Director of VNIIEIM (All-Union Scientific Research Institute of
Electrical Insulation Materials), I.B. Peshkov - Director of VNIIKP
(All-Russian Scientific and Research Design and Technological Institute of
Cable Industry), Ivan A. Scherbakov - Director of IOF RAS (Prokhorov Institute
of General Physics, Russian Academy of Sciences), academician of Russian
Academy of Sciences and many others.
Summary
The
department was founded in 1931, when the Department of Electrical Materials
Science headed by Professor E.F. Komarkov was created. In 1939 the department
of Cable Technology headed by Professor S.M. Bragin was formed. In 1952, on the
basis of these departments the Department of Electrical Materials and Cables,
headed by Professor N.G. Drozdov was created. In 1992 the department received
the current name Physics of Electrical Materials and Components.
Traditionally,
the scientific activities of the department are related to the development and
research of electrical and electronic engineering materials, the design and
development of electrical insulation, cables, wires, semiconductor materials
and elements, including:
- composite radio absorbing materials and coatings;
- new electrotechnical materials;
- nanomaterials for various applications;
- optimization of cable constructions and
production technologies, including optical cables;
- web-applications and electronic textbooks for
blended and distance education.
Recent
projects
