About the General Physics Department

The General Physics Department was founded in 1928. In 1928–1953 the department was headed by Prof. A. N. Tekuchov and Prof. V. S. Titov. In 1953–69 the department was headed by Prof. M. Muminov. In 1982, on the basis of orders of the Collegium of the Ministry of Higher and Secondary Specialized Education of the Republic of Uzbekistan (No. 9-21) and of the Rector of Samarkand State University dated 14 August (No. 118), the General Physics Department was established for the Faculty of Physics from the staff reserve of the Nuclear Physics Department, and Professor O. Q. Kuvandikov was appointed its head. On 4 September 1985, by order of the SamSU Rector (No. 119), a specialization in magnetism was established at the department, and 10 students were admitted to it that same year. By orders of the Ministry of Higher and Secondary Specialized Education of the Republic of Uzbekistan of 1985 (No. 42.6) and of the SamSU Rector of 1986 (No. 4), the General Physics Department was renamed the Department of Physics of Magnetic Phenomena. In 1994, by order of the SamSU Rector, the department was again given the name General Physics Department. 

Today the department employs 1 Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences, Professor, 9 Candidates of Physical and Mathematical Sciences, Associate Professors, 2 Doctors of Philosophy (PhD) in Physical and Mathematical Sciences and 1 assistant lecturer. 

Members of the department carry out scientific work in cooperation with staff of the National University of Uzbekistan, Fergana, Andijan, Tashkent State Pedagogical, Tashkent State Technical, Gulistan, Bukhara, Karshi and Termez State Universities, higher education institutions of the Republic of Karakalpakstan and related departments of other universities of the country; Moscow State University (Faculty of Physics, Department of Crystallography and Crystal Chemistry, Department of Geology and Mineralogy, Department of Magnetism); the Moscow State Research Institute of Earth Magnetism; the Central Research Laboratory at the Navoi Mining and Metallurgical Combinat; the Institute of Materials Science of the Academy of Sciences of the Republic of Uzbekistan; the Tajik National University; and the Institute of Bioorganic Chemistry of the Academy of Sciences of the Republic of Uzbekistan.

Since 2021 the “Electromagnetism” scientific center has operated at the department. A student scientific club called “Young Physicists” also operates. Talented students of the department regularly take part in various republican competitions and science olympiads. Among the department’s graduates are holders of scholarships named after distinguished figures and winners of republican-level olympiads.

To date, the department’s teachers have created more than 30 textbooks, study guides, lecture texts, teaching manuals, sets of materials and guidelines. They have also published more than 10 monographs, about 10 scientific collections, about 1000 scientific articles and more than 100 popular science articles.

The department is currently carrying out scientific research on the topic “2/7d.q.r.01860103966 ‘Study of the electrical, magnetic and galvanomagnetic properties of alloys of transition and rare-earth metals in solid and liquid states’”.
