Preface
This twin issue of Fizika Nizkikh Temperatur is the
Proceedings of the Sixth International Conference on
Cryocrystals and Quantum Crystals (CC-2006) held in
Kharkov, Ukraine on September 3 through 8. Tradition-
ally, this Conference came in tandem after the Interna-
tional Matrix Isolation Conference, held right before
CC-2006 in Chernogolovka, Russia, which allowed many
participants to attend both conferences. The CC-2006
Conference was convened at the B. Verkin Institute for
Low Temperature Physics and Engineering of the Na-
tional Academy of Sciences of Ukraine in recognition of
Institute’s achievements in the title fields of the Confer-
ence. It is therefore no wonder that researchers from the
Verkin Institute constituted a substantial percentage of
the attendance, not to mention those unregistered who
were present during the talks in the convention hall.
It should be added that CC-2006 was part of the events
sponsored by the National Academy of Sciences of
Ukraine to commemorate the centenary anniversary of
Acad. Antonina F. Prikhot’ko. The general attitude of the
Academy was clearly and to the point expressed in the
opening address of Academician Secretary of the Divi-
sion of Physics and Astronomy Acad. Vadim M. Loktev:
«It is a great honor for me to greet the participants of
the opening Conference CC-2006 on behalf of the Presid-
ium of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, its
President Prof. Boris Paton, and on my own. The Presi-
dent not only asked me to convey his best wishes but also
to say that we all are very happy that such a well known
and prominent physics Conference has at last come to
Ukraine. Some of you might remember that Ukraine’s
turn to host this biannual Conference was two years ago,
in 2004. However, the International Advisory Committee
did us a favor and postponed the convening of this Con-
ference in our country to 2006. It was so because this year
we commemorate the centennial of two outstanding
Ukrainian physicists who made a substantial contribution
to the development of low-temperature physics in general
and physics of cryocrystals and quantum crystals in par-
ticular. I mean Antonina Prikhot’ko and Boris Lazarev.
Today I would like to say a few words about Acad.
Prikhot’ko, the only woman among physicists who was a
Full Member of the National Academy of Sciences of
Ukraine. Her fundamental results are in the fields of
low-temperature optics and cryocrystals, especially and
specifically in spectroscopy of molecular crystals and
solid oxygen among them. She and her colleagues were
first to grow large enough oxygen single crystals, an
achievement other laboratories were long unable to repro-
duce. Prof. Prikhot’ko did not like the widely accepted
slightly contradictory term «solidified gases»; therefore,
she and a close circle of her collaborators came to invent
the term «cryocrystals» as the most appropriate for the
case. Her choice was subsequently accepted, becoming
the only generalizing word designating a wide family of
solids. So, I believe you will understand me if I call
Ukraine the homeland of cryocrystals. By saying so I just
wished to emphasize why we wanted to see all of you in
Ukraine particularly this year at this Conference.
But there is something else I need to say. Ukraine is a
big country with a population of almost 50 million with
many really large cities. Then why Kharkov was chosen
as the venue of this Conference? First of all, this city was
the first political capital of Ukraine after the Soviets came
to power. In the mid-thirties of the last century Kharkov
became the «physical capital» of Ukraine and an interna-
tionally known center of physics. When the political capi-
tal moved to Kiev, the position of Kharkov as physical
capital of Ukraine was put to doubt. Yet, as far as cryo-
genics and, especially, physics of cryocrystals, Kharkov
fully retained its status of the «capital». It is here in
Kharkov that the first cryogenic laboratory in the Soviet
Union was founded in the early 30-ties and afterwards, in
1960, the world renowned Institute of Low Temperature
Physics (now named after its founder Prof. Boris Verkin).
Kharkov is known for the fact that both geniuses Lions
(Levs, in Russian), Shubnikov and Landau, worked here
as well as Ivan Obreimov, Boris Lazarev, brothers Ilya
and Eugene Lifshitz, Antonina Prikhot’ko, Boris Verkin,
Vladimir Khotkevich, and Boris Eselson. Active now are
Viktor Eremenko, Vadim Manzhelii, Igor Yanson, Sergei
Gnatchenko, Mikhail Strzhemechny, Eduard Rudavskii
and many others, whose results have enriched the physics
of quantum fluids and crystals, cryocrystals, magnetism,
low-temperature materials science, and others. I wish you
to enjoy your stay in this beautiful city and every success
to this Conference».
Topically, the papers submitted for publications are
classified into four sections: 1) Quantum crystals; 2) Clas-
sical cryocrystals at ambient pressure; 3) Cryocrystals un-
der high pressures; 4) Excitation-stimulated processes in
cryocrystals. The last topic proved to be quite abundant,
which necessitated singling it out from topic 2. All papers
submitted have been reviewed by two or three referees.
The comparative narrowness of the conference subject
made CC-2006 a notable event, the audience keeping
keen interest during the working hours and developing
mutually beneficial contacts. The Organizing Committee
did everything to make CC-2006 a success. The only
thing that did not fit was the weather, rains pouring all
four working days, which considerably spoiled ladies’
program but helped to keep the participants inside.
The next Cryocrystals Conference is preliminarily
scheduled to be held in Poland early fall of 2008.
Organizing Committee gratefully acknowledges the fi-
nancial support provided by the National Academy of Sci-
ences of Ukraine and the B. Verkin Institute for Low Tem-
perature Physics and Engineering. The unselfish
enthusiasm and application of the young researchers from
Verkin Institute, who helped a lot to take care of numer-
ous and versatile everyday conference chores, contrib-
uted essentially to bring the CC-2006 Conference to a
successful finish.
