Soviet low‐temperature physics

AUG 01, 1967
Research in the USSR is strong and well supported. Laboratories at Kharkov, Tbilisi and Leningrad pursue programs in many cryogenic subjects including Josephson tunneling, film flow rates, thermoelectricity, fourth sound, and liquefied and solidified gases.
Edward F. Hammel

THE SOVIET ACADEMIES of science put great emphasis on low‐temperature physics and strongly support a vigorous program of both basic and applied research in this field. For example, the new Kharkov laboratory is undoubtedly the largest in the world devoted exclusively to low‐temperature investigations. These were some of the impressions that some of my low‐temperature colleagues and I gathered when, after the Tenth International Conference on Low Temperature Physics, we toured laboratories in Kharkov, Tbilisi and Leningrad.
