History of the department

The Department of Solid State Physics and Chemistry (until 2004 the Department of Solid State Physics) was established on April 29, 1993 on the basis of the Departments of Physics and Methods of Physics and Physical Education under the leadership of Doctor of Chemical Sciences, Professor, Honored Scientist of Ukraine, Academician of the Academy of Sciences Ukraine, academician of the International Thermoelectric Academy Freik Dmitry Mikhailovich (1943-2015), a world-renowned scientist in the field of semiconductor materials science, who headed it until the last days of his life.

Representatives of other departments of both the Faculty of Physics and Technology and the University closely connected their scientific path with the Department of Solid State Physics and Chemistry.

In 2015-2022 the department is headed by Professor Volodymyr V. Prokopiv.
Today Professor Lyubomyr Nykyruy is Head of Department.

The laboratories of the department are headed by the candidate of physical and mathematical sciences Yavorsky Ya.S.

The department is a graduate in the following specialties:
– 105 Applied physics and nanomaterials (Bachelor);

– 105 Applied physics and nanomaterials (Master).
