The B Verkin Institute for Low Temperature Physics and Engineering was founded in 1960 by professors Boris Ieremievich Verkin, Alexander Galkin, BN Eselson and Igor Dimitrenko. The first director was Boris Ieremievich Verkin. The Institute conducts basic research in experimental and theoretical physics, mathematics, as well as in the field of applied physics. Main areas of research: high-temperature superconductivity, weak superconductivity, magneto antiferromagnets, physics of low-dimensional systems, point-contact spectroscopy, quantum crystals, nonlinear phenomena in metals, physics of disordered systems, quantum phenomena in plasticity and others. The Institute has published about 250 monographs, textbooks, reference books, more than 12,000 articles and reviews in ranking scientific journals, and has trained more than 850 highly qualified experts — PhDs.[1]

History

May 13, 1960 the President of the USSR Academy of Sciences issued a Decision to establish the Kharkov Physics and-Technical Institute for Low Temperatures, Academy of Sciences of the Ukrainian SSR. The institute was created by 9 laboratories involved in different areas of low temperature physics. Four Math departments were also established. In 1987 they were organized into the ILTPE Mathematics Department. In 1991 ILTPE was named after its founder — Academician B. Verkin.
