has been investigated in soot, in alloys, in crystals, and in electrolyte 
solutions. There is a section for mathematics within the Institute. Some 
work has been done on structural-shell theory and filtration theory.

Description: 
This institute was organized in 1960 to carry out investigations in 
the fields of low-temperature electronics, resonance phenomena in solids, 
electrical conductivity and superconductivity, plasticity, strength of solids, 
luminescence, thermodynamic properties of rarefied gases, and physical pro- 
perties of gas-mixture separation. It is also working on the development of 
computer elements for-temperature operation. 
Graduate training is offered in the physics of low temperatures, 
theoretical physics, mathematical physics, theory of functions, and goemetry.
