We study magnetism and magneto-elasticity of rare-earth and uranium intermetallic compounds with high content of 3d-metal (Fe and Co). They combine the localized magnetism of the f-electron sublattice with the itinerant magnetism of the 3d-sublattice and belong to an important class of modern magnetic materials. The work is usually performed on high-quality single crystals grown in our lab. Some particular results are: The full text >>
Flow properties of superfluid He II (stability of oscillating boundary layer flow) and quantum turbulence (temporal decay of counterflow turbulence) above 1.3 K are studied using second sound attenuation technique. Flows of rotating superfluid 3He phases and of He II in zero temperature limit are investigated in collaboration with Finland and UK. Experiments on high Rayleigh number cryogenic thermal convection are under preparation.
