XVII International Youth Scientific School on Actual Problems of Magnetic Resonance and its Applications

Abstract

Editors: M.S.Tagirov, V.V.Semashko, A.S.NizamutdinovKazan is the motherland of Electronic Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) which was discovered in Kazan State University in 1944 by prof. E.K.Zavojskii. Since the Young Scientist School of Magnetic Resonance run by professor G.V.Skrotskii from MIPT stopped its work, Kazan took up the activity under the initiative of academician A.S.Borovik-Romanov. Nowadays this school is rejuvenated and the International Youth Scientific School studying “Actual problems of the magnetic resonance and its application” is developing. Traditionally the main subjects of the School meetings are: Magnetic Resonance in Solids, Chemistry, Geology, Biology and Medicine. The unchallenged organizers of that school are Kazan Federal University and Kazan E. K. Zavoisky Physical-Technical Institute. The rector of the School is professor Murat Tagirov, vice-rector - professor Valentine Zhikharev.Since 1997 more than 100 famous scientists from Germany, France, Switzerland, USA, Japan, Russia, Ukraine, Moldavia, Georgia provided plenary lecture presentations. Almost 700 young scientists have had an opportunity to participate in discussions of the latest scientific developments, to make their oral reports and to improve their knowledge and skills. To enhance competition among the young scientists, reports take place every year and the Program Committee members name the best reports, the authors of which are invited to prepare full-scale scientific papers.Since 2013 the International Youth Scientific School “Actual problems of the magnetic resonance and its application”, following the tendency for comprehensive studies of matter properties and its interaction with electromagnetic fields, expanded “the field of interest” and opened the new section: Coherent Optics and Optical Spectroscopy. Many young people have submitted interesting reports on photonics, quantum electronics, laser physics, quantum optics, traditional optical and laser spectroscopy, non-linear optics, material science and nanotechnology. Here we are publishing the full papers prepared from the most interesting reports selected by the Program Committee of the School. The XVII International Youth Scientific School has been supported by a subsidy from the Russian Government (agreement #02.A03.21.0002) in frame of Program of Competitive Growth of Kazan Federal University among World's Leading Academic Centers. It is a pleasure to thank the sponsors (BRUKER Ltd, Moscow, the Russian Academy of Science, the Dynasty foundation of Dmitrii Zimin, Russia, Russian Foundation for Basic Research and R.M.Minnikhanov, president of Republic of Tatarstan) and all the participants and contributors who made the International School meeting possible and interesting.
