Georgy V. Girichev Doctor of Chemical Science, Professor, Head of Physics Department Professor Girichev is a specialist in the field of molecule structure studies and high temperature chemical reactions research as well as in physical experiment techniques. The research methods are: gas electron diffraction, mass-spectrometry, laser Raman spectroscopy, and quantum-chemical calculations. Research group, which is lead by professor Girichev, carries out up to the half of high temperature studies accomplished by the gas electronography method in CIS and about one third ones in the world. Research group possesses unique equipment for the studies in the temperature range of 0-1300 0C including the one of the most powerful in the world equipment set for performing synchronous electronographic and mass-spectrometric experiment. This equipment set enables to investigate unsaturated and overheated vapours, to study thermostability of the compounds, to carry out directed synthesis of the desired substance in the course of the experiment. The latter provides direct study of the radical structure. Most of the works are devoted to the research of the structure of molecules existing in gaseous phase under high temperatures.

Alexander M. Pogrebnoy Doctor of Chemical Science, Professor of Physics Department Professor Pogrebnoy is a specialist in the field of mass-spectrometric investigations of inorganic compounds. Areas of his research interests are:
Professor A.M. Pogrebnoy was the first to discover large ionic and molecular associates in vapours over halides of lanthanides. It has been shown that solid electrolytes are effective emitters of ions and ionic associates. A number of studies on polymer materials gas-permeability and on porophores decomposition kinetics by mass-spectrometric method have been performed.

Vladimir V. Rybkin Doctor of Chemical Science, Professor of Department of Electronic Devices and Materials V.V. Rybkin is an expert on physics and chemistry of non-equilibrium plasma and its applications for material treatment, head of the research group. The main methods of studies are: mass-spectrometry, optical emission and absorption spectroscopy, electron-spin resonance spectroscopy, Lagmuir probes, Fourier Transform Infrared by Attenuated Total Reflectance. Special in-house created methods of numerical modelling of plasma systems are applied also. These methods are based on self-consisted solution of Boltzmann equation for plasma electrons, equations of vibrational and chemical kinetics as well as equations of charge balance. Extensive studies of physico-chemical properties of low pressure plasmas in oxygen, air, oxygen-nitrogen mixtures and some others as well as processes of interaction of these plasmas with the surface of some polymer materials (polyethylene, polypropylene, polyethylene terephthalate, polyimide etc.) have been carried out. As a result, the scientific foundations of methods for simulation of plasma chemical reactor operation for polymer material treatment were created. Lately intensive studies in the field of physico-chemical properties of atmospheric pressure plasma with liquid electrodes and its application for polymer modification for immobilization of different organic molecules on polymer surface have been accomplished. Studies of the research group were supported with different grants including Russian Foundation for Basic Researches, INCO COPERNICUS, Korean Organization of Science and Engineering Foundation and some others. The research group has close scientific and educational relations with some Universities abroad including Karlov University Prague, Czech Republic), Pierre and Marie Curie University Paris, France), Chungnam National University (The Republic of Korea).

Vladimir I. Svetsov Doctor of Chemical Science, Professor, Head of Department of Electronic Devices and Materials, Vice-Rector on Academic Affairs Professor Svetsov is the head of the scientific trend “Kinetics and mechanisms of low-temperature non-equilibrium plasma interaction with solid inorganic materials” and the head of the corresponding scientific group. Methods applied are mass-spectrometry, optical emission and absorption spectroscopy, electron-spin resonance spectroscopy, physical methods of plasma parameters measurement and mathematical modelling of non-equilibrium plasma of molecular gases. The gases under investigation are: helium, neon, argon, krypton, xenon, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, carbon oxide and dioxide, chlorine, bromine, water vapour, ammonia, tetrachloro- and tetraflouromethane, sulfur hexafluoride and various gaseous mixtures. Solids under study are: iron, nickel, cobalt, copper, molybdenum, gallium arsenide, aluminium, carbonic materials, dielectrics (glass, ceramics, quartz). In his studies professor Svetsov determined the conditions of highest possible active particles concentrations generation. Kinetic regularities and mechanisms of non-equilibrium plasma of molecular gases interaction with inorganic materials have been studied in detail both for pure gases and for their mixtures; models of heterogeneous interaction of active plasma species with solids have been proposed. Lately the main attention is given to the research of heterogeneous plasma chemical processes in halogen and halogen hydride mixtures with noble and molecular gases. The most significant works:
