The Department was organized in 1966 by Prof. Boris I. Verkin, Academician of the Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, who contributed substantially to the development and scientific profile of the Department. From the day of foundation and until 2008 the Department was headed by Prof. Igor V. Svechkarev. Since 2008 and to the present the Department is headed by Prof. Gennadiy E. Grechnev.
From 2006 to 2017 an outstanding Ukrainian scientist Prof. Victor V. Eremenko, Academician of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, had worked in the Department.
2015 - The State Prize of Ukraine in the field of science and technology (G. E. Grechnev et al.): Functional properties of the bulk and surface ordered systems and fabrication of new metal-containing materials and structures.
2003 - The Shubnikov Prize (V. V. Eremenko, V. A. Sirenko, V. D. Fil): Magnetoelastic phenomena in the Shubnikov phase of superconductors.
1980 - The State Prize of Ukraine (I. V. Svechkarev et al.): Investigation of elementary excitations in metals by X-ray, microcontact, tunnel, ultrasonic and magnetic spectroscopy methods.
At present, the Department consists of 17 staff members, among them: 3 Doctors of Sciences (DrSc.), 7 Candidates of Sciences (Dr.rer.nat., PhD), 5 PhD Students, 1 Engineer, and 1 Technician.
Theoretical studies of magnetic structure of solids.
Ab initio calculations of the electronic structure and magnetic properties of metallic systems and semiconductors.
Experimental studies of magnetization and magnetic susceptibility in localized and itinerant magnetic systems under high pressure, including rare-earths and actinides.
Experimental studies of uniaxial compression effects on magnetic properties in anisotropic magnetic materials.
Elastic, magnetoelastic, magneto- and piezoelectric properties of solids.
Experimental investigations of structural defects with magnetic methods.
