Laboratory staff: The Laboratory includes 25 employees, 5 of which are Doctors of Chemistry and 8 hold PhD degree. In November 1962, a research group was organized within the Laboratory of Chemistry of Rare Elements headed by A.K. Sharova to study chemistry and technology of vanadium and titanium compounds. The group had the rights of a laboratory and included А.А. Ivakin, А.А. Fotiev, V.G. Bamburov, B.V. Slobodin, М.P. Glazyrin, V.L. Volkov, N.V. Kiselyova, Z.D. Efremova, L.L. Surat, N.А. Ignatyeva, and L.I. Chashchina. The leader of the group was А.А. Ivakin. A part of this research group was transformed into the Laboratory of Oxide Systems, which was headed in 1971 by Prof. A.A. Fotiev. Since 1996 the Laboratory was headed by Prof. B.V. Slobodin. The Laboratory research area is investigation of regular features of phase formation and physicochemical properties of complex oxide systems involving transition metals with the aim of obtaining scientific data on directed synthesis of novel materials and for technology streamlining.In 2004, the Laboratory was united with the Laboratory of Wear-Resistant Coatings founded in the mid of 1970-ies at the beginning of 1980-ies, the years noted by growing interest in physical and physicomechanical properties of materials in the form of films and coatings. The initial studies were performed in the Laboratory of Refractory Compounds under the leadership of Acad. G.P. Shveikin. The works on synthesis and investigation of powder plasma coatings showed promise for mechanical engineering. As a result of development of this direction, the Laboratory of Wear-Resistant Coatings was established in 1985, the head of the Laboratory was Dr. B.V. Mitrofanov. At the end of 1990-ies, a research team concerned with physical chemistry and solid state ionics joined the Laboratory.
