KFU scientists among authors of top 100 publications in Russia by impact factor in 2024
Kazan Federal University ranks 6th in the nation.
The top 100 scientific papers of 2024 prepared by Russian researchers include 6 articles by scientists from Kazan Federal University.
The list of original scientific publications by Russian authors published in journals with the highest impact factor (IF) last year was prepared by the CoLab project participants together with the editorial board of the Chimica Techno Acta journal.
The selection is based on the rating of scientific journals that published articles written primarily with the participation of Russian scientists.
The authors of the articles include representatives of Kazan University:
Director of the Institute of Physics Marat Gafurov (Gadolinium-doped injectable magnesium-calcium phosphate bone cements for noninvasive visualization – Journal of Magnesium and Alloys, IF 15.8);
Head of the Department of Optics and Nanophotonics at the Institute of Physics Sergey Kharintsev (Photon Momentum Enabled Light Absorption in Silicon and Photon-Momentum-Enabled Electronic Raman Scattering in Silicon Glass – both in АCS Nano, IF 15.8; Extreme Electron-Photon Interaction in Disordered Perovskites – Advance Science, IF 15.2);
Head of the Department of Petroleum Engineering Mikhail Varfolomeev, Senior Lecturer of said department Ameen A. Al-Muntaser and other employees of the Department, as well as Lead Researcher at the Laboratory of Magnetic Radio Spectroscopy and Quantum Electronics Vladimir Klochkov (Hydrogen-donating capacity of hydrothermal system in catalytic and non-catalytic desulfurization of sulfur compound of unconventional crudes and residues: Deuterium tracing study – Chemical Engineering Journal, IF 13.4).
Marat Gafurov said that the article was written in collaboration with representatives of other Russian universities and research institutions.
“KFU scientists studied the initial and created materials using EPR and NMR methods in order to determine the valence of gadolinium ions, their concentration, localization in the structure of the material, the effect of gadolinium ions on the nuclear and electronic magnetic properties of bone cements for the purpose of better contrast in computer and magnetic resonance imaging,” the scientist said and added that the research at KFU was conducted at several departments of the Institute of Physics.
Mikhail Varfolomeev explained what scientific results obtained at KFU were reflected in his publication, “We used isotope methods for the first time to study the interaction of water with sulfur-containing components of oil during hydrothermal exposure. The data makes it possible to create an environmentally safe and effective method for reducing the sulfur content in heavy oil and oil residues.”
