Research activities:
In the department, studies are carried out in the field of high-temperature plasma physics, which are directed towards the the controlled fusion reactions (D-D presently, and D-T type in the future) and towards technological application of high-temperature plasmas. Present research efforts concentrate on:

• the construction and optimization of plasma X-ray and neutron sources of the PF type
• the technical design and physical studies of plasma-ion imploders of the RPI type
• selected theoretical problems of plasma behaviour in magnetic traps and in plasma injectors
• studies in the field of fusion technology
• applications of plasma-ion streams for materials engineering
• the design and construction of pulsed supply- and control-systems for research and industrial purposes.

Investigations of plasma-ion imploding systems cover theoretical studies of the plasma devices used for the generation of intense plasma-ion streams applicable for nuclear fusion and technological purposes. Studies carried out with plasma-focus devices, concern the construction, operation and optimization of those facilities with regard to the X-ray or particle-stream emission.

Besides fusion research, the department carries out studies on various applications of plasma devices for technological purposes, e.g. for surface modifications of various materials (metals, alloys, semiconductors, and ceramics). The department is also engaged in the design and construction of special HV supply systems, pulse generators for industrial laboratories, special electronic control units, and data acquisition systems for research facilities and industrial laboratories.
