By convention the scientific investigations conducted in the Laboratory can be subclassified into some groups:

1. investigations of a real structure and phase transformations, determination of correlation between a structure and properties

• in amorphous and nano-crystalline materials

(A.S. Aronin, G.E. Abrosimova, I.I. Zverkova, O.G. Rybchenko, D.V. Matveev, E.Yu. Ignat'eva)

• in low-dimensional organic conductors

(R.P. Shibaeva, S.S. Khasanov, L.V. Zorina, S.V. Simonov)

• in scintillators

(S.Z. Shmurak, A.P. Kiselev)

2. investigations of a structure and phase transitions under different heat treatment conditions

• in HTSC materials and oxide systems with a perovskite structure (V.Sh. Shekhtman, V.D. Sedykh, V.A. Goncharov, I.K. Bdikin)

• in aperiodic systems (I.M. Shmytko, N.S. Afonikova, E.A. Kudrenko)

• in metals, alloys, and binary systems of sp metals at high pressure (V.F. Degtyareva, L.N. Pronina, I.M. Aristova, A.A. Mazilkin)

• in fullerenes and fullerene complexes (S.S. Khasanov, O.G. Rybchenko, G.E. Abrosimova, V.Sh. Shekhtman)

3. investigations of a real crystal structure

• Investigation of diffraction mechanisms of the diffraction image formation of defects in a crystal lattice

( E . V . Suvorov , I . A . Smirnova , E . V . Shulakov )

• Investigation of thin surface epitaxial layers by methods of X-ray diffraction optics

( E . V . Suvorov , I . A . Smirnova , E . V . Shulakov )
