M.V. Ignatovychworks at the Chuiko Institute of Surface Chemistry of National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine since 1986.

Scientific interests

Spectral study of adsorbed aromatic molecules states and incorporated V and Mo species incorporated into silica and zeolites by optical absorption; steady- state and time-resolved photoluminescence (PhL) and ESR. Study of X-ray luminophors - single crystal and glassy lithium tetraborate doped with Cu, Ag. Mn, Eu Ce ions using the steady-state and kinetic photoluminescence, radioluminescence and thermoluminescence. Thermoluminescence and dosimetry characteristics of tissue-equivalent luminophores.
