	Planar Microdomain Patterns for Nonlinear-Optical Applications Fabricated in Ferroelectric Crystals by Microscopic Methods (AFM and SEM)
	Tatyana R. Volk graduated from Moscow University in 1965. Starting in 1968 till nowadays she has been working in Shubnikov Institute of Crystallography of the Russian Academy of Sciences (IC RAS), where she obtained her PhD in 1972 and doctoral degree in 1995. Since 1998 she is the Head of the Laboratory of crystal optics in IC RAS. Her main research interests belong to the ferroelectricity (phase transitions, domain structure ), nonlinear – optical phenomena (photorefraction, optical frequency conversion) and point defects (radiation induced effects in ferroelectrics). She has published in co-authorship more than 150 papers and two monographs : “Lithium Niobate (Defects, Photorefraction, Vibrational Spectrum and Polaritons)” by N. V. Sidorov, T. R. Volk, B. N. Mavrin and V. T. Kalinnikov, 2003, Nauka (in Russian) and “Lithium Niobate (Defects, Photorefraction and Ferroelectric Switching)” by T. Volk and M. Woehlecke, 2008, Springer. She is the vice-chairman of the Russian National Council in the Physics of Ferroelectrics and Dielectrics and a member of the Steering Committee of European Meeting on Ferroelectricity.
