• Lebedev Physical Institute of Russian Academy of
  Science
• The largest and oldest national centre of
  fundamental research in the field of physics.
• At present the staff of the Institute
  amounts to 2500 people including 7 academicians,
  14 corresponding members and about 200
  professors.
• Half of the Nobel Prize winners of Russia
  were LPI scientists.

The Lebedev Physical Institute began its history
in 1724 as a Physical Cabinet of the Russian
Academy of Science

• At different times the LPI was headed by such
  famous scientists as L.Euler, G.Rieman, E.Lents,
  B.Yakobi, A.Krylov, S.Vavilov, N.Basov,
  L.Keldysh. In the Institute worked D.Bernoulli,
  M.Lomonosov, A.Prokhorov.
• Scientists of the LPI were awarded by three
  Nobel prizes for the Cherenkovs effect in 1958
  for the quantum electronics theory in 1964 and
  the Nobel prize for Peace in 1975 (A.Sakharov).

4
Studies in the all fields of modern physics are
performed in the 6 divisions of LPI
5
The current scientific interest of the Quantum
Radiophysics Division lies in the field of laser
researches and applications

• Now, Quantum Radiophysics Division works on laser
  application on a wide spectrum of physical and
  technological problems
• inertial confinement fusion,
• laser interaction with matter,
• properties of laser irradiated matter,
• laser-produced plasma physics,
• development of new lasers, etc

For providing such investigations our institute
has an experimental base for development and
production of scientific equipment lasers,
sensors, diagnostic equipment, special materials,
and so on.
6
For providing such a wide range of investigations
we successfully collaborate with our colleagues
from Russia and other countries
7
All-Russia Scientific Research Institute of
Experimental Physics is our main collaborator in
the field of material property researches
8
As a most interesting application of our Division
studies to the industrial problems we present

• Promising Research Project (based on ISTC Project
  2314)
• The existing methods of mobile control over
  material fatigue allows to detect only rather
  large defects corresponding to the late stage of
  fatigue evolution. The methods of detection of
  microscopic defects at an early stage of material
  fatigue is based only on laboratory investigation
  and are not non-destroying and mobile.
• The main goal of the project is the development
  of a method of non-destroying control over
  material fatigue, including at its early stage.
  On the base of new physical principles of the
  material structure investigation will be
  elaborated a mobile method of the non-destroying
  control over material fatigue which can be
  applied at the place of equipment operation.

9
The area of this technology application covers
industry, transport, and other fields dealt with
the operation of constructions under the
significant mechanical, thermal and radiation
loading.

• Especially important areas of applications of
  non-destructive control of material fatigue are
  power facilities, mechanisms and engines in
  transport, space devices, and pipelines.
• For scientific researches in the field of the
  Project we successfully collaborate with
  RFNC-VNIIEF, St-Petersburg Machine-Building
  Institute, TRINITI, and our Italian and French
  colleagues.
• To develop the technological approaches of the
  material fatigue control we are interested in
  collaboration in form of
• RD cooperation
• ISTC Partner Program
• Direct contracts
