Description: 
Founded in 1805, Khar'kov University is one of the oldest educa- 
tional institutions in the U.S.S.R. In 1960-1961, enrollment in the day, 
night, and correspondence schools was about 8,300. 
Faculty and students at this university engage in varied research 
pursuits. In chemistry, for example, studies have been made of solid organic 
compounds, reactions of organic compounds with metal ions, and measurement 
of diffusion coefficient of nickel in liquid oxygen. New pigments and 
pyridine dyes have been investigated. In the field of electrochemistry, 
investigations have been made of the effects of solvents in electrolytes 
and electrolytic deposition of zinc and cadmium powders. 
Considerable metals research takes place at the University, such as 
studies of internal friction, creep, and crystallography. Other investiga- 
tions include determination of optical constants of metals in the infrared 
region, condensation mechanism of metals and alloys in a vacuum, healing of 
microporosity in crystals, metals with open Fermi surfaces, cyclotron 
resonance in metals, and expansion of porous zone of metals when heated. 
Various properties of ferromagnetic alloys, manganese ferrite, austenite, 
magnetite, cobalt ferrite, and copper crystals have been studied. 
Areas of interest in physics include high-energy physics, plasma 
physics, solid-state physics, magnetohydrodynamics, and radiophysics. 
Extensive work has been done on waveguides. Considerable ion-acceleration 
and -bombardment work has been noted, such as studies of collions of ions 
with gaseous molecules. Other studies considered the conversion of electro- 
magnetic superhigh-frequency field energy into kinetic energy, atoms in a 
plasma, plasma fluctuations, steady-state processes in an electron plasma,
