Main personal scientific  and practical achievements.

1.        Independently discovered resonance ionization spectroscopy (RIS). 1975. (
In the world only for research and
development in the RIS spectroscopy and its application more than $5 billions dollars had been spent. Several thousand
papers were published in the world.)

2.        Independently suggested to use RIS for isotope separation and for ultrasensitive atomic analysis. 1975.
3.        A method of resonance ionization photon detection had been suggested. 1975
(More than 50 papers had been published on this topic in the world in at least 4 countries).
4.        A most sensitive with record low  limit of detection (even at present time) method for atomic analysis combining
RIS, mass spectrometry and atomization of sample in vacuum had been suggested.    1976 –77.
(More than 200 publications in more than 10 countries had been  published on this topic. Commercially available
analytical instruments had been developed in the US. The subject is described in several books including textbooks for
students).

5.        Independently discovered laser enhanced ionization spectroscopy (LEI) 1978.  First it was discovered in the USA
in 1976.
6.        Experimentally discovered efficient stepwise laser excitation for LEI method in high temperature inert gas in
flame. This method had been suggested for ultrasensitive LEI atomic analysis in flame. 1978
(At present most atomic analysis in the world are performed using flames as an atomizing medium. Most atomic analysis
spectrometers sold in the world also are flame atomic absorption.  The multistep excitation and ionization LEI method is
still the most sensitive  method of atomic analysis in flame. More than 300 papers had been published on this topic in
the world in at least 8 countries. The subject is described in several books including textbooks for students)


7.        A novel method for ulrtanarrowband resonance ionization imaging (RIID) had been suggested.  1980
8.        Highly sensitive imaging method has been suggested and theoretically developed for single atom and molecules
