Biography
Prof. Sokovnin Sergey Yur’evich, head of group of electrophysical technologies, Institute of Electrophysics of the Ural Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Yekaterinburg, Russia. I was born in 1960 in Tomsk, Russia. I graduated from the Tomsk Politechnical Institute in 1983 with the diploma of engineer-physicist. I graduated from the post-graduate courses of the IEP UB RAS and got a degree of Candidate (1994) and Doctor of Technical Sciences (in Electrophysics) in 2005. I developed several repetitive nanosecond electron accelerators for industrial application in radiation technologies. I developed a method for production of nanopowders, including evaporation of a target by a pulsed electron beam, condensation of the vapor of the material in a low-pressure gas, and deposition of nanopowders on a large cold square crystallizer. By this method, it is possible to produce oxide nanopowders with the specific surface up to 338 sq. m/g at the production rate of up to 10 g/h and the energy consumption about 120 Wh/g.
