Berdonosov Sergey Serafimovich Berdonosov, Dr. Sci. was born in 1939 in Moscow, Russia. He was a gold medalist at school in 1956 and received an excellence diploma from Moscow State University in 1961. His PhD thesis, defended in 1964, was dedicated to zirconium, hafnium, niobium, tantalum, and protactinium bromides, and his Dr. Sci. thesis (2002) was devoted to the radiochemical studies of desublimation and new approaches to the determination of physicochemical properties of substances and materials. Prof. Berdonosov has been working all his post-student life in the Department of Radiochemistry, Faculty of Chemistry, Moscow State University, Russia. He is a professional radiochemist. Additionally, his research interests include inorganic chemistry, physical chemistry, nanotechnology, and chemical education. It is possible to affirm that the last activities are the most favorite type of his dedication. Prof. Berdonosov has worked in the chemistry department for more than 50 years and has spent the better part of his time teaching the basics of chemistry at the 171st School to more than 1500 students. He had more than 500 students from the Department of Radiochemistry, one of whom, in particular, has contributed a chapter to this book. He has also made great
