Phase Transitions and Caloric Effects in Ferroics and Multiferroics  | |
Since 1966 Dr. Sc., Professor Igor N. Flerov works at L.V. Kirensky Institute of Physics, Siberian Department of RAS, Krasnoyarsk, Russia. He has occupied successively the following positions: engineer, junior scientist, senior scientist, leading scientist, a head of laboratory. At the moment Prof. Igor Flerov is a main scientist of the Crystal Physics Laboratory. He received the Ph. D and Dr. Sc. degrees in 1978 and 1994, respectively. The main field of his interests is concentrated on the physics of ferroics including structure and thermodynamic properties. Other fields are associated with the solid state chemistry and materials science. Investigations are aimed at the studies of the mechanism and nature of phase transitions in the oxygen, fluorine, oxygen-fluorine ferroics and multiferroics. Recently his research activities cover also caloric and multicaloric effects in solids especially in connection with seeking for the ways of caloric efficiency elevating in solid refrigerants. He has authored about 250 journal articles. Starting in 1984 (the Third RCBJSF in Novosibirsk, Russia), Professor Igor Flerov took part in the Symposium as a member of the Organizing Committee. He is also a member of the Scientific Council on Condensed Matter Physics of RAS (Division of Ferroelectrics, Dielectrics and Liquid Crystals). Prof. Igor Flerov is responsible for the teaching of the thermal properties substances theory and technical thermodynamics at Siberian Federal University (Krasnoyarsk, Russia). |
