Leader of the modern Lyiv school of statistical physics, founder and long-time director of the Institute for Condensed Matter Physics of the NAS of Ukraine, which today bears his name.
MYROSLAV HOLOVKO (1943) Professor of Physics (1985) the Corresponding Member of National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine
a prominent Ukrainian, scientist, theoretical physicist, who made significant contributions to the statistical theory of simple and complex liquids, electrolytes and associating molecular systems.
His pioneering studies have greatly advanced the understanding of molecular association, the phase behaviour of fluids in bulk,
in porous media and at interfaces. He is well-known for his fundamental role in shaping modern statistical physics of liquids and solutions.

Abstract:
The monograph, first published by Naukova Dumka in 1980, provides a systematic presentation of the statistical theory of classical equilibrium systems.
It is among the first works devoted to the microscopic theory of the liquid state and may be regarded as an advanced textbook. A broad class of
systems representing gases, liquids, and solutions is analyzed from a unified standpoint. The theory describes interacting particles in an extended phase space that includes both individual coordinates and collective variables characterizing density fluctuations. The ion-molecular approach developed for electrolyte solutions treats interactions between ions and solvent molecules on an equal basis, revealing fundamentally different mechanisms of electrostatic screening.
Spatially inhomogeneous systems are examined in detail as well
