In memory of Zinoviy Gurskii (1944–2004)
Professor Zinoviy Gurskii, longtime
head of the Department for theory of
metals and alloys at the ICMP of the
National Academy of Sciences, passed
away on January 28, 2004 in Lviv
after a heavy illness. He was just be-
fore 60.
Zinoviy Gurskii was born on May 29,
1944 in Lviv. After graduation from
the high school in 1961 he entered
Department of Physics at Lviv State
University. As one of the most talent-
ed young Ukrainian students Zinoviy
Gurskii spent three last years of stud-
ies in Moscow and graduated from the Moscow State University in
1967. Immediately thereafter he began his research as a Ph.D.
student at the Baikov Insitute of Metallurgy of the Academy of
Sciences of USSR in Moscow under the guidance of Professor G.
Krasko. His Ph.D. studies concentrated on the development of
model electron-ion interactions within the pseudopotential theo-
ry. A new type of model pseudopotential, later widely cited in the
literature as Krasko–Gurskii pseudopotential, was proposed in his
Ph.D. work. This new model effective electron-ion interaction was
quite weak, which made possible to use it in perturbation expan-
sions, and at the same time it permitted to treat valence elec-
tronic orbitals as nodeless "pseudo"-wavefunctions in the core
region.
In 1971 Zinoviy Gurskii received his Ph.D. degree having defend-
ed the thesis titled "A method of model pseudopotentials and
some atomic properties of simple metals" and started his scien-
tific career at the Lviv Division of Statistical Physics of the In-
stitute for Theoretical Physics. Here he developed a new direction
in the pseudopotential theory based on a formalism of completely
orthogonalized plane waves (COPW). At that time the COPW

284 IN MEMORY OF ZINOVIY GURSKII (1944–2004)
pseudopotentials were the only mathematically exact form of ab
initio effective electron-ion interactions obtained from atomic
Hamiltonian via unitary transformation in order to get rid of
the core electronic states.
Starting from 1978 the problems connected with phase transi-
tions in solid alloys in frames of the collective variables method
and dynamic properties of disordered alloys were in focus of
Zinoviy Gurskii and his group. The statistical theory of binary alloys
with thermal vibrations of atoms was constructed. Very important
results were obtained in describing the effects of short-range order
on phonon spectra and static atomic displacements in disordered
alloys.
Active research on applying the pseudopotential theory to liquid
metals obtained a wide recognition. In 1983 Zinoviy Gurskii togeth-
er with a group of physicists from the Lviv State University re-
ceived the State Award of Ukraine for a series of works entitled
"Experimental and theoretical studies on physics of liquid metals".
Most results obtained by Zinoviy Gurskii within the
pseudopotential theory were summarized in his Doctor of Sciences
thesis entitled "A method of pseudopotentials in theory of metals
and alloys" defended in 1985 at the Moscow State University. Lat-
er on all the results in pseudopotential theory and statistical theory
of binary alloys were put together in the book "Quantum-statistical
theory of disordered systems" (Kyiv, Naukova Dumka, 1991) writ-
ten together with Professor I.Yukhnovskii.
Being a pure theorist Zinoviy Gurskii also realized the im-
portance of computer simulations in condensed matter physics. In
collaboration with the scientists from Germany, Thailand and Po-
land he devoted his several studies to different methods of ob-
taining the effective two- and three-particle interactions to be used
in molecular dynamics simulations.
His knowledge in physics, and not only in physics, was truly en-
cyclopedic and he could always be relied upon for advice and con-
structive discussion. A smooth and modest person, he created an
atmosphere of warm human relations so crucial for successful
work. All those who were fortunate to know this extremely intelli-
gent and very warm man will miss him greatly.
