Most of the Institute's work in recent years has been on the 
properties of ferromagnetic materials and on the domain theory of ferro- 
magnetism. The effects of temperature and ultrasonics on magnetic processes 
have been investigated as part of this work. Members of the Krasnoyarsk 
Pedagogical Institute have worked closely with the Physics Institute staff 
in the investigations. In addition to this work, some experimental investi- 
gations have been performed on arc-discharge plasmas and the development of 
an automatically controlled growth of chlorella--an alga which is being 
considered for use in space flight.

Description: 
In 1958, the Institute of Physics was organized. The Institute was 
to have five laboratories concerned with investigation of thermogalvanomag= 
netic phenomena in electronic semiconductors; investigation of heat con- 
duction in semiconductors, including both very low=- and very high-temperature 
ranges; investigation of the effective masses of current carriers; investi- 
gation of the thermodynamics of liquids, vapors, and gases, including the 
neighborhood of the critical point; and investigation of the thermal 
conditions of accessible depths of the earth.
