A scientific session of the Division of General Physics and
Astronomy of the Russian Academy of Sciences (RAS) was
held at the P L Kapitza Institute for Physical Problems, RAS
on 29 January 1997. Six reports were presented at this session:
(1) D Bimberg, I P Ipatova, P S Kop'ev, N N Ledentsov, V G Malyshkin, V A Shchukin (Technische Universitat Berlin, Berlin; A F Ioffe Physicotechnical Institute, RAS, St.-Petersburg) 'Spontaneous ordering of semiconductor nanostructures';
(2) I V Kukushkin (Institute of Solid State Physics, RAS, Chernogolovka, Moscow region) 'Experimental verification of the skyrmion concept';
3) N A Gippius, V D Kulakovskii, S G Tikhodeev (Institute of General Physics, RAS, Moscow; Institute of Solid State Physics, RAS, Chernogolovka, Moscow region) 'Effect of electric field redistribution on the electronic and optical properties of nanostructures';
(4) V V Kapaev, Yu V Kopaev, I V Tokatly (P N Lebedev Physical Institute, RAS, Moscow) 'Momentum dependence of electron state dimensionality in heterostructures';
(5) V G Lysenko (Institute of Technology Problems for Microelectronics and Highly Purified Materials, RAS, Chernogolovka, Moscow region) 'Bloch oscillations in superlattices';
(6) V A Krupenin, S V Lotkhov, Yu A Pashkin, D E Presnov (M V Lomonosov Moscow State University, Moscow; P N Lebedev Physical Institute, RAS, Moscow) 'An experimental study of charge effects in ultrasmall tunnel junctions'.
