- During study of interaction of electromagnetic radiation with composite materials, which are based on multi-walled carbon nanotubes experimental data on microwave and terahertz parameters of composite matter were systemized and a theory was developed for them. Three regimes of interaction of nanotubes with electromagnetic radiation were singled out: quasistatic, dynamic and intermediate. It was shown in theory, that the screening effect for longitudinal field in multi-walled nanotubes in quasistatic regime greatly reduces their electromagnetic response and essentially impacts the effective parameters of composite materials.
- Experimental mock-up of microwave pulse generator with virtual cathode was manufactured (axial vircator) with power supply from explosion-magnetic generator. Experimental mock-ups of explosion-magnetic generator were developed, manufactured and tested. Tests of experimental mock-up of microwave generator with power supply, which uses either direct conversion of chemical energy of explosion into electric energy or from accumulators. Maximum power of microwave generation, in experiments reached 300 MW.
- Effect of manyfold increase of radiation intensity of gamma-quanta from diverging beam of high-energy electrons was predicted and discovered at SPS accelerator ()CERN) during multiple volume scattering in a single crystal.
- Essential contribution into the development and planning of technical proposals on modernisation of end cap parts of electromagnetic calorimeter of CMS collaboration experimental setup (CERN) was made for work of LHC with increased luminosity. Preparing of technical sketch documentation on experimental setup of PANDA collaboration (GSI,FAIR, Darmstadt) was finished.
