60th birthday of Mykola Korynevskii
On January 18, 2008 member of the Edi-
torial Board of “Condensed Matter Physics”,
Leading Researcher of the Institute for Con-
densed Matter Physics, Doctor of Sciences in
physics and mathematics Mykola Korynevskii
celebrates his 60th birthday. M. Korynevskii
is a renowned Ukrainian physicist working in
the field of solid state physics, physics of ferro-
electrics and disordered systems.
Mykola Korynevskii was born in the vil-
lage of Movchaniv in the Volyn’ province. In
1970 he graduated from Physics Department
of the Ivan Franko State University of Lviv re-
ceiving a diploma with highest honours. Af-
ter two years of the GI military service, he
started to work in the Lviv Department of the
Bogolyubov Institute for Theoretical Physics
(Kyiv). His further career was altogether con-
nected with this institution. He worked here
first as a junior researcher. In 1977 under the
supervision of I. Yukhnovskii and R. Levytskii
he defended his candidate degree (Ph.D.) thesis “Towards a theory of ferroelectric compounds of
orthophosphate type” and in 1998 he defended a doctoral thesis entitled “Theory of a ferroelec-
tric transition in systems of interacting clusters” (scientific consultant I. Yukhnovskii). In 1985 he
received a scientific title of a senior researcher. During the years 1990–1996 as a deputy director
of the Institute for Condensed Matter Physics he considerably contributed to its setting-up and
further development.
Dr. Sci. M. Korynevskii belongs to the school of a prominent Ukrainian physicist, academician
Ihor Yukhnovskii. A distinctive feature of his research is the analysis of ferroelectrics by a collective
variables method, which was elaborated in the context of quantum statistics and successfully
applied by I. Yukhnovskii and his followers in various fields. First papers by M. Korynevskii were
written in collaboration with Ihor Stasyuk. Together with Roman Levytskii they developed and
analyzed the cluster approximation in the theory of ferroelectrics with hydrogen bonds; they were
the first to describe the antiferroelectric phase transition as well as to establish the crucial role that
long-range intercluster correlations play in implementing this transition. The studies of dynamical
properties of ferroelectric systems with the fundamental accounting for short-range cluster-like
interactions turned out to be of major priority in the scientific papers throughout the world. These
research works originated a methodological basis for utilizing the cluster approximation, which
thereafter became the foundation for an important direction of scientific activity at the ICMP,
particularly, in the study of thermodynamic, structural and dynamic properties of the crystals of
KDP-type.
M. Korynevskii studied the peculiarities of ferroelectric phase transitions in crystals with com-
peting short- and long-range interparticle interactions. In particular, he obtained functional rep-
resentation of a partition function for the system of interacting clusters and analyzed thermody-
namical features of a phase transition.
In order to explain an anomalous behavior of thermodynamic functions in isomorphic crystals of
sodium-amonium sulphur dihydrate, M. Korynevskii proposed a new theoretical model, which gen-
eralizes Mitsui model and takes into account the non-equivalency of the active structure elements
and their short-range interactions. He analyzed microscopic mechanisms of formation of the low-
and high-temperature anomalies in the behaviour of spontaneous polarization, dielectric suscep-
tibility, specific heat. Recently such anomalies were discovered experimentally and a quantitative
597
agreement between theoretical predictions and experimental data has been established.
Another direction of studies performed by M. Korynevskii is an analysis of structural prop-
erties of ferroelectric-antiferroelectric mixtures. Within replica formalism he has obtained phase
diagrams, defined regions of existence of paraelectric, ferroelectric, antiferroelectric and spin-glass-
like phases. The obtained results may be used in order to interprete physical properties of mixed
crystals of Kx(NH4)1−xH2PO4 type.
In the best traditions of European science, M. Korynevskii pays much attention to training a
younger generation of scientists. He deliveres courses to the students of the University of Szczecin
(Poland) and Lviv Polytechnic National University (Ukraine) and has written a textbook for
students.
Dr. Sci. Mykola Korynevskii is a member of the Scientific Council for defending doctoral disser-
tations at the Institute for Condensed Matter Physics, member of the Coordination Bureau of the
West-Ukrainian Physical Society. He is the author of over 110 publications. On the eve of his 60-ies
anniversary he is full of energy, creative plans and enthusiasm. The Editorial Board of the journal
“Condensed Matter Physics”, his colleagues and collaborators from the Institute for Condensed
Matter Physics congratulate him on the occasion of the jubilee and wish him many more years of
fruitful scientific activities.
