Laboratory of Chemical Thermodynamics
Chair of Physical Chemistry
Chemistry Department
Moscow State University

Born in Moscow region , USSR (1935). Graduated and post-graduated from Moscow State University (1958 and 1960)., Ph. D. (1963), D.Sc. (1971). Work at department of Chemistry Lomonosov University: Junior Research Fellow (1960), Senior Research Fellow (1966), Head of research laboratory of Chemical Thermodynamics (1976 - present).

Author of books:

• "Thermodynamic and structure of liquid metallic alloys", Moscow University Press, 1966 (with A.M.Evseev);
• "Thermodynamics and material science of semiconductors", Moscow, Metallurgy Press, 1992 (with co-authors),
• "Fundamentals of Thermodynamics", Moscow University Press, 1987
• about 200 research and review articles.

Main fields of scientific activity:

Pure and Applied Thermodynamics, Material science, Solid State Chemistry, Molecular Beams and Gas Dynamics:

• - a new class of thermodynamic functions, partial functions of heterogeneous systems, has been proposed and their efficiency in chemical thermodynamics established (G.F.Voronin, J.I.Gerassimov, Rev de chimie minerale, 9 (1972), 153);
• - thermodynamic theory of molecular beams scattering by solids has been developed and used for prediction of directional patterns of molecular beams with complex chemical composition ( G.F.Voronin Int.J. of Mass Spectr. and Ion Phys., 43 (1982) 1);
• -a new numerical method for the calculation of the phase diagrams has been elaborated. It does not need the thermodynamic properties of the equilibrium phases to be known ( G.F.Voronin, J. of Thermal Anal., 35 (1989), 2379);
• -phase and chemical equilibria in the materials with high-temperature superconductors in the Y-Ba-Cu-O system have been investigated. It has been proved rigorously that this materials are thermodynamically unstable under the application conditions (G.F.Voronin, Pure & Appl. Chem., 64 (1992) 27)
