Bashkin Igor Olegovich

Position: senior scientist About:  Igor O. Bashkin graduated in Solis State Physics from the Department of General and Applied Physics of Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology in 1973; got a PhD Degree in Solid State Physics in 1979. Career/Employment:   1973 - 1975 – Probational Researcher, ISSP Ac. Sci, Chernogolovka; 1975 - 1978 – Post-Graduate Student, Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology; 1978 - 1986 – Junior Research Associate, ISSP Ac. Sci, Chernogolovka; 1986 - to now – Senior Research Fellow, ISSP Russ. Ac. Sci, Chernogolovka. Areas of expertise : hydrogen in solids, synthesis of high-pressure phases, crystal structure, lattice dynamics and physical properties of high-pressure phases, solid state amorphization Number of papers in refereed journals: about 120

Research activities: Dr. Bashkin dealt with the study of the phase transformations in alkali and rare-earth hydrides, in the Ti-H and Zr-H systems, in C₆₀ fullerite and other nanocarbons under high pressure and high hydrogen pressure, including determination of the T-P (or P_H2) diagrams. A part of work was devoted to the hydrogen effect on the stress-strain properties of the titanium alloys at elevated temperatures. Recent research includes also the structural and electronic transitions in the Group IVb metal alloys. The study of the properties of the high-pressure phases in situ or recovered to ambient pressure resulted in finding of new hydride phases like ScH₃, superconducting Ti-H(D) phases with different H(D) occupancy, highly anharmonic ordered TiH and ZrH phases. The monomer-polymer equilibrium line in the C₆₀ T-P diagram was first determined, interstitial solubility of molecular hydrogen in hydrofullerites was revealed. Thermally stable nanocarbon-hydrogen compounds were synthesized under high hydrogen pressure.
