He wrotea textbook on Physics, which had several editions,and started publication of a scientific Journal atMoscow University, being its editor. Prof. Dvigubskywas also chaired the department of Physics andMathematics for 9 years and was then elected for 7years the rector of Moscow University.Prof. D. M. Perevoschikov (19881880), academician of St. Petersburg Academy of Sciences,chaired the department for 14 years and had been therector of Moscow University for 2 years. His name isassociated with establishing the University Observatory.F A C U L T YO FP H Y S I C S•M .V .L O M O N O S O VM O S C O WS T A T EI N I V E R S I T YA6G L I M P S EB AC KI.

Forthe same, simultaneously obtained results on benzol aphysicist from India, Dr. Raman was awarded theNobel Prize in Physics.In 1933 the Faculty of Physics wasestablished at Moscow State University.In 1938, Prof. A. A. Vlasov developed thekinetic theory and derived the fundamental equations(called in his name), which are widely used now inplasma theory.In 1950–70th, Profs. R.

V. Khokhlov andS. A. Akhmanov developed theory of nonlinear phenomena in the radio and optical ranges. In 1965, theoptical parametric oscillator was launched to work atone of the Faculty's labs. Prof. R. V. Khokhlov waselected rector of Moscow State in 1973 and was inthe office until his death in 1977.In 1958, Prof. S. N. Vernov discovered theradioactive high intensity belts around the Earth,resulted from caption of high energy cosmic particles by the geomagnetic field.

The outstanding discoveries had been made by Profs. A. A. Logunov andV. P. Maslov. Prof. A. A. Loguniv served also as rector of Moscow State in 1977–1992.In the period of 1958–1980, the facultymembers won 24 diplomas for their publicly registered in the USSR scientific discoveries. It should bementioned also that the overall number of discoveries in natural sciences that time resulted in 250.Seven out of ten Russian Nobel Prize winners in Physics have been working at the Faculty ofPhysics: Profs.

I. E. Tamm and I. M. Frank, who wonthe Nobel Prize in 1958 «for discovery and interpretation of Cherenkov effect»; Prof. L. D.

P. L. Kapitsa, who won theNobel Prize in 1978 «for fundamental inventions anddiscoveries in the field of low temperature physics». InOctober 7, 2003, the former Faculty's Prof.A. A. Abrikosov and the former faculty's graduate,Prof. V. L. Ginzburg were awarded the Nobel Prize inPhysics for their outstanding works in the field of theory of superconductivity and superfluidity.Prof. A. D. Sakharov, our graduate, alsobecomes a Nobel Prize winner for Peace. His outstanding achievements in physics, specifically hisparticipation in the thermonuclear bomb project, areacknowledged worldwide.In the overall history of the Faculty ofPhysics, 82 academicians, 58 correspondent members of Petersburg Academy of Sciences, USSRAcademy of Sciences, and then Russian Academy ofSciences, and 8 Nobel Prize winners used to workwith in the Faculty.

More than 600 staff membershave been awarded with 1700 State Prizes of thetsarist Russia, Soviet Union, and Russian Federation.Many chairs at the Faculty of Physics havebeen established by outstanding scientists, namely,Prof. S. I. Vavilov (President of the USSR Academy ofSciences), Prof. L. I. Mandel'shtam, Prof. A. N. Tikhonov,Prof. I. E. Tamm (Nobel Prize winner), Prof. P.

L. Kapitsa(Nobel Prize winner), and many others.In the last decade, five new chairs wereestablished at the Faculty, namely, the chairs of computer methods in physics, physics of condensed matter, experimental astronomy, neutronography, andmedical physics.L O M O N O S O VM O S C O WS T A T EI N I V E R S I T YFAC U LT YO FP H Y S I C S7T O D AYFACULTYOF PHYSICS TODAYNowadays, Faculty of Physics includes 7 divisions (experimental and theoretical physics,solid state physics, radiophysics, nuclear physics,geophysics, astronomy, and complimentary education), which fall into 38 chairs.sors are the academicians or the correspondentmembers of the Russian Academy of Sciences.The faculty's staff consists of about 1,400employees including faculties, research and technical staff, and administration. Among faculties thereare 265 and 235 members with PhD and DrSc(Doctor of Sciences) degrees, respectively, and over100 full professors.The average annual number of scientificpublications published by the faculties and scientificstaff members exceeds 1,000 publications in regular scientific journals and over 3,000 conferencepublications at various Russian and internationalconferences.Research staff consists of 385 researchersamong which 265 and 70 hold the PhD and DrScdegrees, respectively.Undergraduate and PhD students coauthor one third of those publications.2,480 students are enrolled into variousundergraduate and graduate programs and380 students study on the PhD program.

Every yearwe accept about 420 fresh students for the undergraduate programs and 130 more students for thePhD studies. Among them, 25% of the graduatesreceive diploma with distinction and 70% of the PhDstudents get their PhD degrees.Faculty's premises include several buildingstotaling in the floor area of about 71,714 sq. meters.Annually, the Faculty of Physics organizesand sponsors 15 to 20 national and internationalmeetings..The faculty maintains good links with theRussian Academy of Sciences — 25 faculty's prfesF A C U L T YO FP H Y S I C S•M .V .L O M O N O S O VM O S C O WS T A T EI N I V E R S I T YFAC U LT Y8F A C U L T YO FP H Y S I C S•M .V .L O M O N O S O VO FM O S C O WP H Y S I C SS T A T ET O D AYI N I V E R S I T YFAC U LT YO FP H Y S I C S9T O D AYSTRUCTURE OF THE FACULTYRadiophysicsDIVISION OF EXPERIMENTALAND THEORETICAL PHYSICSCHAIRS OFPhysical ElectronicsTheoretical PhysicsDIVISION OF NUCLEAR PHYSICSMathematicsMolecular PhysicsAtomic and Plasma Physicsand MicroelectronicsGeneral Physics and MolecularElectronicsCHAIRS OFQuantum ElectronicsCosmic Rays and SpacePhysicsBiophysicsOptics and SpectroscopyQuantum Statistics and FieldTheoryNuclear Physics and QuantumTheory of CollisionsGeneral PhysicsCHAIRS OFMedical PhysicsQuantum Theory and HighEnergy PhysicsEnglish LanguageElementary Particles PhysicsHigh Energy AcceleratorPhysicsDIVISION OF SOLID STATE PHYSICSSolid State PhysicsGeneral Nuclear PhysicsPhysics of SemiconductorsNeutronographyDIVISION OF GEOPHYSICSPhysics of Polymers andCrystalsPhysics of EarthMagnetismCHAIRS OFPhysics of Seaand Inland WatersLowTemperature andSuperconductivity PhysicsCHAIRS OFPhysics of AtmosphereGeneral Physics and Magnetoordered MatterComputer Methodsin PhysicsCondensed Matter PhysicsDIVISION OF ASTRONOMYAstrophysics and StellarAstronomyDIVISION OF RADIOPHYSICSAND ELECTRONICSCHAIRS OFCelestial Mechanics,Astrometry, and GravimetryPhysics of OscillationsCHAIRS OFDIVISIONOF COMPLIMENTARY EDUCATIONAcousticsF A C U L T YExperimental AstronomyGeneral Physics and WaveProcessesO FP H Y S I C S•M .V .L O M O N O S O VM O S C O WS T A T EI N I V E R S I T YFAC U LT Y ' S10T U I T I O NS T R U C T U R EAlong with the theoretical seminars, classes, and lectures, the students conduct practicalprojects in various practicums on general physicsand in the computer classes.

Thanks to this, thestudents learn physical phenomena in practice, andraise practical knowledge of using computers forsimulation of physical problems.F A C U LT Y ’ S T U I T I O NIn order to help the newly accepted students to perform well in the university environment,the Faculty maintains a system of curators (mentors) who supervise each group of students andhelp them to solve their problems and advise abouttheir current and future career. When studentsdecide on their specializations, to each of them willbe assigned a scientific advisor who introduceshim/her into scientific research and advises aboutthe diploma work.STRUCTUREBy law, educational services can be offered inRussia only under an authorized licensegranted by the Russian Ministry of Education andScience.
