Eugene IOLIN
Born: September 4, 1937, Kansk, Russia
Interests:
Scientific activity is devoted to an application of the nuclear physics methods for the
theoretical and experimental condensed matter investigation, including:
- dynamic neutron, X-ray, and Synchrotron Radiation scattering in perfect and deformed
single crystals, application of these data for the small stress measurements in single
crystals
- neutron, X-ray, Synchrotron and Mossbauer Radiation scattering at the
- artificial (ultrasound)excitations in solids, application of these combined
ultrasound-X-ray diffraction methods for the nondestructive single crystal control
- neutron, X-ray, Synchrotron and Mossbauer Radiation scattering in liquid metals and
glasses
- Mossbauer Radiation scattering studies of phase transitions in solids
- acoustic paramagnetic resonance
- general problems of the disordered systems theory
