A scientific session of the Physical Sciences Division of the Russian Academy of Sciences (RAS) dedicated to the centenary of Academician A I Shal’nikov’s birth was held in the Conference Hall of the P L Kapitza Institute for Physical Problems, RAS on 11 May 2005. The following reports were presented at the session:
(1) Keshishev K O (P L Kapitza Institute for Physical Problems, RAS, Moscow) ’Aleksandr Iosifovich Shal’nikov and the physics of quantum crystals’;
(2) Edel’man V S (P L Kapitza Institute for Physical Problems, RAS, Moscow) ’Scanning tunnel microscopy and spectroscopy of an atomically clean bismuth surface’;
(3) Mezhov-Deglin L P (Institute of Solid State Physics, RAS, Chernogolovka, Moscow region) ’Impurity nanocluster structures in liquid helium’.
An abridge version of reports 2 and 3 is given below.
