ACTIVITIES:
The Ioffe Institute’s Division of Plasma Physics, Atomic Physics, and Astrophysics conducts research in the areas of high-temperature plasma physics (tokamak, plasma-wave interaction, and diagnostics) and low-temperature plasma physics (gas discharge, plasma technology, MHD phenomena, dense plasma dynamics, and shock waves). [1] The Institute was primarily funded to do nonweapons work. However, defense research was conducted in the solid state physics department. According to a 1999 US Department of Energy report, the Institute receives about 20% of its funding from foreign contracts with the United States, Germany, Japan, South Korea, France, and China. As of 1999, the Institute employed about 2,500 people.[2]
