Research activity

I. V.Murin is the leading specialist in the fields of solid state chemistry and chemical material science. He is one among the founders of the promising branch of condensed state chemistry – solid state ionics. Murin’s scientific school implements the fundamental studies discovering a nature of superionic conductance of inorganic materials in crystalline, glassy and nanostructured states. Up-to-date theoretical and experimental techniques are used. Physico-chemical and nuclear physics approaches such as radiospectroscopy, EXAFS, impedometry, diffusion measurements, high pressure techniques are among them. Under the leadership of I.V.Murin computer simulation methods are successfully developed. Ionic transfer and structural disorder in inorganic, polymeric and hybrid materials are under these investigations. The results obtained in the way are especially useful in determination of searching criteria for novel superionic conductors. Modern computer technologies - parallel calculations by computer clusters – are in active use.

The Murin’s school has developed novel techniques of chemical synthesis including soft chemistry methods to produce superionic conductors and other solid phase materials with unique functional features.

The most efforts of Murin’s research group are in the production and study of superionic conductors and ion-conductive membranes with conductivity by lithium, silver, fluorine, chlorine, sulphur, oxygen, nitrogen and hydrogen ions. Nanoionic composite materials based on carbon nanotubes are also of group interests. The great attention is paid for the development of synthesis techniques and for the complex study of ceramic composite materials based on carbides and nitrides of zirconium, hafnium and titanium. The materials have a high durability and electrophysical features. The relevance and originality of the efforts are confirmed by a great amount of international and Russian grants (RFBR, INTAS, NOW (Holland), NATO, St.-Petersburg State University grants etc).
