Museum-laboratory named after E.K. Zavoisky

The museum-laboratory of E.K. Zavoisky was opened in September 1997. It was here, in room N246 of the main building of Kazan State University, that in 1944 Evgeny Konstantinovich for the first time in the world observed signals of magnetic spin resonance. The idea of reconstructing the scientist's installation for observing the effect of radio frequency field absorption in matter (provided that the radio frequency field is perpendicular to the magnetic field) was fully approved and understood by S.A. Altshuler, corresponding member of the USSR Academy of Sciences, head of the Department of Magnetic Radio Spectroscopy, and later transformed into the idea of creating a museum-laboratory. In particular, in the fonds of KSU, KFAN, Kapitsa Institute of Physical Problems, USSR Academy of Sciences, Moscow State University, Zavoisky family and in the National Archive of the Republic of Tatarstan. The exposition of the museum familiarizes with the history of physics of XVII-XX centuries: there is a collection of ancient physical devices on electricity, magnetism, optics and meteorology, a large collection of measuring instruments. A special pride of the museum is the working installation of E.K. Zavoisky on the discovery of EPR, which familiarizes Russian and foreign visitors with the history of the discovery of the phenomenon of world scale. The collection of Soviet radio equipment is of great interest to visitors: receivers, radio tubes, radio stations. The museum presents both samples of military radio equipment and household receivers
