Konobeevsky, Sergey Tikhonovich

Born in a wealthy family: father - St. Petersburg manufacturer I.P. Vargunin . In 1896, his mother married the accountant of the Moscow-Kazan Railway, T. Ya. Konobeyevsky.

He studied at the 2nd Moscow Gymnasium (1900-1908), then - at the Physics and Mathematics Department of Moscow University (1908-1913), where he graduated with a degree in animal physiology. During the First World War , from 1914 to 1918, he was on the German front. Since 1919, he worked as a teacher of physics at the Institute. K. Marx (now - G.V. Plekhanov Russian University of Economics ) ^[1] .

Since 1926, he taught at Moscow University (professor since 1935). In 1931, with the organization at the Moscow State University of the Department of X-ray analysis in physics (the idea of ​​creating it belonged to G.V. Wulf ), he was appointed its head. He was the dean of the Faculty of Physics of Moscow State University in difficult post-war time ^[2] : from May 1946 to 1947.

Since 1922 he worked at the All-Union Electrotechnical Institute , since 1929 - at the Institute of Non-Ferrous Metals , where he created an X-ray laboratory.

Worked at VNIINM since 1947: consultant, head of laboratory and department, deputy director for scientific work.

In 1951-1952 he headed the department at the special faculty of MVTU im. Bauman ^[1] .

He was buried at the Novodevichy cemetery .

In 1921, together with N.E. Uspensky, he discovered the structures of rolled metals. In 1932, he discovered the influence of internal stresses on diffusion processes in alloys . He created the foundations of the modern theory of the aging of alloys and the decay of solid solutions and metal compounds.

S.T. Konobeevsky is one of the pioneers in studying the state diagrams of heavy metal alloys (uranium, plutonium) and creating a new direction in solid state physics - the study of the effect of ionizing radiation on the structure and properties of materials (radiation materials science). He was awarded two Orders of Lenin, the Order of the Red Banner of Labor and medals ^[3] .

S.T. Konobeyevsky’s creative asset includes more than 200 scientific works, the main direction of which is the application of the X-ray diffraction technique to the study of alloys, including:

• "Die Beugung der Rontgenstrahlen in mikrokristallinischen Strukturen" (Ztschr. Phys. 1923. Bd 16, H. 3. S. 215—227; together with N. E. Ouspensky).

In the 1920s, Konobeyevsky's popular science works were published in the series Science for All, The Beginners of Science, The Beginners of Natural Science, and The Popular Science Library.
