understand yet as I am a second year student but I hope that where there is a will
there’s a way.
   Some information from the history of the department. It was founded in 1995. The
core of the staff was formed by the group of physicists from Kazachstan headed by
Prof. Kezle. Post-graduate course in optics was organized in 1997 and the doctor’s
degree course – in 1998.
   Research work is done according to federal and international grants given by
Russian Fund of Basic Research, Institute “Open society”, “Euroasia” Fund. The last
grant was provided by the Ministry of higher and special secondary schools of the
Russian Federation for the developments in the field of nanotechnology.
Nanotechnology is molecular manufacturing or, more simply, building things one
atom or molecular at a time with programmed nanoscopic robot arms. A nanometer is
one billionth of a meter ( 3-4 atoms wide ). Unitilizing the well understood chemical
properties of atoms and molecules nanotechnology proposes the construction of
novel molecular devices possessing extraordinary properties. Imagine a
supercomputer no bigger than a human cell. Imagine a four-person spacecraft no
larger or more expensive than the family car. These just are products expected from
nanotechnology.
   The staff of the department takes part in the research work “ Laser inductive
processes in natural and synthesized nanostructures” under the supervision of the
head of Radiophysics and Electronics Department, the director of Laser and
Information Biophysics Centre D. Sc., member of New York Academy of sciences
Prof. Kucherenko M.G. High skilled university teachers develop problems of kinetics
of unliner optical reactions, laser processes control, optical recording of information
and holography.
   Graduates of the department are highly qualified in the fields of quantum
electronics, solid state and semiconductor physics, wave and molecular optics.
The curriculum includes study of laser technique, holography, electro-optics and
other branches of the advanced Radiophysics and Electronics. Professional activity of
graduates is directed to the development of bases of new technologies, new devices,
mathematical models and software control of physical processes, original researches
in laser physics and quantum electronics. Such graduates are demanded in high
technology industries, private companies, in higher educational establishments. They
can also work in research institutes, expert laboratories and designing offices. The
department offers a 5 year course of full-time study. On completing the course a
graduate gets a degree of radiophysicist. The department has a modern laboratory
equipment, a computer class with an access to the Internet.
   Professors, instructors give advice and leadership to students in their research
work.
Senior year students do their practical work in Micro and nanotechnologies research
institute at OSU. Contests, competitions and exhibitions based on student research
have become an established tradition. We can expand our horizons through the access
to conferences, lectures, symposia in all disciplines.
   A number of students’ research papers were awarded prizes at the international
conferences.
