Investigated monomolecular films of amphiphylic polymers and biologically active compounds (antibodies, enzymes, cells etc.) for creation of biosensor devices; of the process of silver association (using a method of statistical thermodynamics) in silver bromide microcrystalls at photolysis, shown that in a photosensitive matrix there is the simultaneous existence of two types of silver particles - colloidal and atomic-molecular dispersity. Deducted the formula connecting the concentration of molecular clusters and the size of colloidal particle and the microcrystall silver halide size. Investigated formation of a new phase process in a matrix of silver photosensitive salts at the photolysis (with the help of spectrophotometry and electron microscopy) and shown the availability of two types of particles of silver (colloidal and atomic-molecular dispersity) in one microcrystal. Established the experimental dependence between maxima of the absorption spectra of silver colored centers (colloidal particles and clusters) and the sizes of silver bromide microcrystals where they are derived. Discovered a number of size-dependence properties of small colloidal particles. Formulated (based on theoretical and experimental results) conclusion that during the new silver phase formation process in silver halides there occurs a phase transition of molecular silver into metal silver. Investigated Langmuir films of bioactive materials for creating of biosensors, STM/AFM microscopy of cells and polymer-protein molecular films. Defended thesis of Dr. of Chemical Science in 1995 "Forming of the new phase in the light-sensitive systems based on silver salts".
