research institute in Bulgaria

Institute of Solid State Physics is one of the physical institutes at the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, currently known as the Georgi Nadjakov Institute of Solid State Physics. It provides scientific background of solid state electronics and optics in Bulgaria. Some reports and discussions are referred to below.
History
Decree No 362 of 16 October 1972 by the Ministry Council of Bulgaria established the Institute of Solid State Physics as a successor of the Institute of Physics with Atomic Scientific Experimental Base at the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, founded by Georgi Nadjakov in 1946. Since 16 February 1982 the Institute of Solid State Physics accepted the name "Georgi Nadjakov Institute of Solid State Physics".
Milko Borissov professor, member of BAS is the first Director and creator of the Institute of Solid State Physics (1973–1991). Nikolay Kirov, professor, D.Sc. is the second Institute Director (1991–1999). Alexander G. Petrov, Professor, D. Sc., member of BAS was director till 2015. Currently, the director of the Institute is professor Doctor of Sciences Hassan Chamati.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Institute of Solid State Physics (Bulgaria)” as research institute in Bulgaria. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as research institute in Bulgaria. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jan 31, 2023. The linked authority identifier is Q11214596. Authority coordinates are 42.652, 23.389. 1 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1972, 1946, 1982 and 1973.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
