Academician S.I. Vavilov "On the possible causes of blue u-glow of liquids". In Russian and German with a list of cited literature.

Signed: "To dear Peter Alexandrovich Rebinder from S.I. Vavilov."

Academician P.A. Cherenkov "Visible glow of pure liquids under the action of UV radiation". Presented by Academician S.I. Vavilov on November 27, 1934. In Russian and German with a list of cited literature.

S.I. Vavilov and P.A. Cherenkov are physicists, doctors of physical and mathematical sciences, professors, academicians of the USSR Academy of Sciences, heads of research teams, laureates of Stalin Prizes, holders of the highest awards of the country, including the Orders of Lenin and the Red Banner of Labor. Both are the authors of the discovery of the "Vavilov-Cherenkov effect" (1934).

The Vavilov - Cherenkov effect was discovered by chance, although the discovery turned out to be a natural development of the work of academician S.I. Vavilov on the study of luminescence and the nature of light, in particular, luminescence, which became the topic of the PhD thesis of graduate student Vavilov - P.A. Cherenkov.

The Stargift collection presents the first edition of S.I. Vavilov's reports, where he proved that the phenomenon observed by P. A. Cherenkov was not a type of luminescence, which was essential for the entire development of research. In 1958, Cherenkov, along with Tamm and Frank, was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics "for the discovery and interpretation of the Cherenkov effect."

Peter Rebinder - the recipient of the autograph is a Soviet physicochemist, academician of the USSR Academy of Sciences. Based on his theoretical developments, new materials such as cermets, various types of artificial leather, and heavy-duty cement were created.
