Biography
Born in a family of rural teachers.
He graduated from a seven-year school in with. Chernyakovka, Chutovsky District , Veliko Rublev Secondary School of the Kotelevsky District, Poltava Region, Kharkov State University , Department of Physics and Mathematics (1960).
In 1961 he came to work at the Physics and Technology Institute of Low Temperatures (FTINT) of the Academy of Sciences of the Ukrainian SSR . Since then, his life and scientific activities have been associated with this institution. Here he studied at graduate school and went from an engineer to the head of the department of Optical and Magnetic Properties of Solids.
In 1969 he defended his PhD, and in 1984 - his doctoral dissertation, specializing in Solid State Physics .
In 1995, he was elected a corresponding member of the NAS of Ukraine, specializing in experimental physics.
Since 2009 - full member of the NAS of Ukraine.
Scientific activity
N. Kharchenko is a well-known specialist in magnetism and optics of magnetically ordered systems, whose work covers a wide range of physical problems.
He obtained important scientific and applied aspects in various fields of physics of solid magnetism, which became a significant contribution to the treasury of world science. Among the main results are pioneering studies of new magneto-optical effects, which were called “linear magneto-optical effect” and “quadratic magnetic rotation of the plane of polarization of light”.
Nikolai Fedorovich for the first time performed optical visualization of collinear antiferromagnetic domains, developed methods for switching them in crystals with different magnetic symmetries, and demonstrated the possibility of manufacturing an antiferromagnetic domain structure with a predetermined configuration.
Academician N. Kharchenko is the author and co-author of more than 150 scientific articles and monographs.
