Institute for Spectroscopy RAS (ISAS)

ATOMIC SPECTROSCOPY DEPARTMENT

Head of Dept. Prof. Dr. A.N. Ryabtsev
 

    The Department of Atomic Spectroscopy was created by the founder of the Institute, the Corresponding Member of the USSR Academy of Sciences Prof. S.L.Mandelshtam, who had been in charge of it right until his retirement in 1989. The purpose of the department is the receiving of experimental and theoretical data about energy structures of atoms and ions which are necessary for astrophysics, for works on controlled thermo-nuclear synthesis, for the creation of vacuum ultra-violet and X-ray lasers, and also for the development of spectral diagnostics of high temperature plasma.

Structure of department:

• Laboratory of atomic spectroscopy (head of laboratory - Prof. Dr. A.N. Ryabtsev)

• Section of high-temperature plasma spectroscopy (head of section - Dr. P.S. Antsyferov)

• Section of plasma light sources (head of section - V.M. Krivtsun)

Main fields of researches:

• Spectroscopy of atoms and ions.

• Spectroscopy of plasma.

• Plasma light sources.

Employers of department:

Awards and achievements:

• 1977 - S.L. Mandelshtam, USSR State Prize for works on X-ray Sun emission.

• 1977 - S.L. Mandelshtam, The D.S. Rozhdestvensky Award of Presidium of USSR Academy of Sciences for the works on highly ionized atoms spectroscopy.
