Thin films gradient structures are got (Х-Bi, Pb, Te) by the method of thermal evaporation in a vacuum. Influence of the entered modifier is explored on optical properties. On the measure of enrichment glowed by a modifier (Bi, Pb, Te), near absorption is displaced in the longwave region of spectrum, the value of index of refraction diminishes on a certain wave-length (λ = 1 μм) and is multiplied the degree of ion binding. The optical parameters of films are certain on a wave-length λ = 0,6328 μм ellipsemetrical and spectraphotometrical methods.

The processes of synthesis of europium-containing strontium fluoroapatites in the NaCl-KCl melt at 700 and 870ºC were investigated by the methods of X-ray diffraction analysis, diffuse reflectance spectroscopy and luminescence spectroscopy. Identity of a structure of the phases formed at the partial substitution of Eu(II) and Eu(III) for Sr has been established. The specimens of europium-strontium fluoroapatites show certain peculiarities of the optical absorbance and luminescence due to the 4f-5d- and 4f-4f-electron transfers in the Eu²⁺ and Eu³⁺ ions respectively. Ratio between integral intensities of the bands of luminescence qualitatively corresponds to the concentrations of Eu(II) and Eu(III) valence forms in the apatite. Possibility of the synthesis of (Eu, Sr)FAP by the way of the exchange sorption in the saline melt has been shown as well.

Subjects of inquiry included lowdimensional systems PCTFE AgI and PCTFE AgI-SiO₂, with the content of silver iodide and silicon dioxide being equal to 0-100 vol % and 0 0.5 vol %, respectively. The characteristics under investigation were electrophysical properties in a superfrequency range and thermophysical properties (thermal capacity, linear thermal expansion coefficient). Іt has been found that incorporation of doping admixtures of nanodimensional SiO₂ into such a system leads to significant changes in the supermolecular structure of its polymeric constituent.

A comparative study of the effect of the vacuum high-temperature annealing on the amorphous silicon carbide films structure and wettability with tin melt was conducted. Near-stochiometric amorphous silicon carbide films were deposited by two methods: reactive magnetron sputtering of silicon target in Ar+CH⁴ gas mixture (a-SiC:H) and by modified vacuum arc deposition using SiC cathode (a-SiC). Capillary properties of the surface were analyzed by the sessile drop method in the temperature range from 250 to 700 С at a pressure of 1 10^-3 Pa. Structures of the films were analyzed using Raman scattering and FTIR absorption spectroscopies. It has been found, that the variations in wettability and adhesion of tin melt to the film surface under annealing correlate with the variations in their structure and chemical state of the surface. For the a-SiC films the structure ordering of a-SiC and formation of SiC nanocrystallites is observed. For the a-SiC:H films dehydrogenation of the structure and the formation of free carbon clusters at 650 C and above with subsequent surface cleaning at high temperature is seen.
