Jevgeni Šablonin is a Research Fellow at the Institute of Physics, Faculty of Science and Technology, University of Tartu. He has been working at the University of Tartu since 2009, initially as an Engineer (0.50) from 2009 to 2013, and then as a Research Fellow of Solid State Physics (1.00) since May 2013. His current position as Research Fellow continues from February 2024.
Šablonin received his education at the University of Tartu, completing his Bachelor's degree in Materials Science (2003-2006), Master's degree in Materials Science (2006-2008), and Doctoral degree in Physics (2008-2013). His doctoral thesis focused on "Processes of structural defect creation in pure and doped MgO and NaCl single crystals under condition of low or super high density of electronic excitations," supervised by Aleksandr Luštšik and Jevgeni Vassiltšenko.
Šablonin's research primarily focuses on the physics of ionic crystals, with particular emphasis on radiation defects, thermal annealing processes, and luminescent properties of crystal materials. His work investigates how various types of radiation (neutrons, ions) affect crystal structures, particularly magnesium oxide (MgO), magnesium aluminate spinel (MgAl2O4), and corundum (Al2O3). He employs various characterization techniques including cathodoluminescence, EPR spectroscopy, and optical measurements to study defect formation and recovery mechanisms in irradiated crystals. His research has significant implications for materials used in radiation environments, including potential applications in nuclear technology and radiation detection.
Analysis of his recent publications (2022-2025) reveals a consistent research trajectory focused on radiation damage in ionic crystals, particularly examining how different types of radiation create defects in materials like MgO, MgAl2O4 spinel, and corundum. His work often combines experimental approaches with theoretical modeling to understand defect formation, stability, and annealing kinetics. A significant portion of his research examines oxygen-related defects, F-type centers, and their thermal behavior in irradiated crystals, providing fundamental insights into radiation damage mechanisms in these important materials.
