 Department
of molecular spectroscopy was founded in 1986 under the leadership of Professor
R.I. Personov , who was the permanent head of the department up to his
untimely death in 2002. The department consisted of three laboratories:
Laboratory of Electronic Spectra of Molecules (Prof. R.I.Personov ), Laboratory
of High Resolution Molecular Spectroscopy and Analytical Spectroscopy (Dr.
V.G.Koloshnikov) and Laboratory of Vibration-Rotation Spectra of Molecules
(Prof. M.R.Aliev ), and also thematic group “Vibrational spectra of molecules”.
After sudden death of M.R. Aliev in 1988, and then death of R.I. Personov
the department was restructured. At present, the department consists of
Laboratory of High Resolution Molecular Spectroscopy and Analytical Spectroscopy
(Dr. V.G.Koloshnikov) and two Sections: Section of Electronic Spectra of
Molecules (Dr. Yu.G. Vainer) and Section of Microwave Spectroscopy (Dr.
B.S. Dumesh). There are 32 employees in the department, among them are
3 Doctors of Sciences and 10 PhDs. The Department is headed by Dr. V.G.
Koloshnikov. Various modern experimental setups are at the disposal of
the department; widespread experimental and theoretical investigations
on high resolution molecular and solid state spectroscopy are conducted
in it. Much attention is given to applications of fundamental research
for spectral analysis and for spectral instrumentation.
