PROF. ALXANDER N. VASILIEV

Alexander N. Vasiliev performed his postdoctoral studies in Moscow State University in 1980. He is the Head of Solid state physics division and Low temperature physics department in Physics Faculty of Moscow State University. He is a specialist in the field of condensed matter physics. He is author of 300 scientific papers, 2 monographs, 2 popular scientific books and 1 patent. His main scientific achievements are as follows: the observation of the effect of giant increase of the efficiency of electromagnetic – acoustic transformation in solids at phase transitions; the formulation of new mechanism of shape memory effect in ferromagnets due to magnetically induced reconstruction of martensitic domains; the observation of new mechanism of spin gap formation in low dimensional magnets due to orbital ordering; the observation of new mechanism of magnetization reversal due to formation of noncollinear ferrimagnetic structures; the establishment of the magnetoelastic interaction’s role in the processes of Bose – Einstein’s triplons condensation in solids.
