Academic Courses
“Low-Temperature Physics & Techniques” - Yerevan State University (YSU), Faculty of Physics
(since Sept. 2003 – to date)

Scale of Professional Interests
1.Modeling of tunnel diode (TD) oscillators: they can be widely used for high-resolution, low-temperature studies of the superconductive matter.
As a result, a radio-frequency new test-method is developed, based on a single-layer flat pick-up coil-oscillator (SFCO - Platform technology);
2.Superconductive (SC) phase transition: the Meissner ejection precursor and posterior weakly expressed effects are searched for, revealed & investigated;
3.Vortex-matter dynamics in high-Tc superconductors (HTSC): the vortex-mat¬ter magnetic-phase diagram (MP-diagram) in YBaCuO material is con-structed in wide ranges of the magnetic fields and temperature;
4.“Visualization” of SC properties of thin flat HTSC materials by the use of a SFCO-technique with a focused laser beam, as a probing instrument;
5.Electro-physical properties of HTSC materials: they can be used for creation of the advanced radiation and particle detectors;
6.Non-equilibrium properties of high-Tc superconductors - phase-slip centers (PSC) included: first observation of the PSC in HTSC thin-film bridges;
7.Destruction of a meta-stable superheated superconducting state in micron-size tin (Sn) grains. that one may use for radiation and particles detection;
8.Spin paramagnetic resonance / electron spin resonance/ (SPR/ESR) spectro-meters: super-high resolution, new principle of operation spectrometers are created (2 Armenian and 2 Russian patents are obtained);
9.GHz- and MHz-range highly sensitive measurement technology: they can be widely used in various areas of the science and technology;
10. Absolute-position sensors based on a SFCO technology - they can be used for the creation of slow-movement (low-frequency) seismometers of a new type:
as a result, a new border/zone Early Warning Passive Security System (EWPSS) is developed based on the SFCO Platform technology.
