Scientific Results:

    Demetrius Mutieff (1818–1864) contribution in theoretical physics and metheorology has marked for the first time as a result of documentary research in Bulgarian government archives and SIBAL [1, s. 165-208]. His activities in Russia (1843–1856) is unknown yet [8]. His Ph.D. thesis "De Psychrometria" (1842) has fond in Bulgaria [23].

    Textbooks on Physics and Mathematics: Working with archives of Nayden Gerov [2, pp. 229-293], Joakim Gruev [2, pp. 229-293], Emanuil Vaskidovich [17], Bulgarian Central eparchial school in Plovdiv [10], [11], [12], [39] and textbooks on mathematics [45] and physics [46], published up to 1878 the sources, used by Nayden Gerov are found [9], and the stages are defined.

    Education on Physics expressing by Bulgarian secondary school curriculums and textbooks are examined up to 1925.

    Physics in the Sofia University from 1889 to 1950 [14], [29]: Lectures [26], and scientific results of Prof. P. Bachmetiew [13], [27], Prof. G. Maneff [30-31], [36], [38], Prof. G. Nadjakov [Τ1], [28], independent physics speciality creation [25], [15] and education in doctorate in physics in Bulgaria during the thirties of XX century [24] are determined.

    Research on Physics: in the Sofia University from 1889 to 1950 [36], [52] has experimental and teoretical results [32].

    Theoretical Physics [43], [49], [50], [67] in the Sofia University [33] and from Bulgarian Academy of Sciences [40] is analysed.

    Milko Borissov [57], [64]. In the field of solid state physics [4] Milko Borissov worked with one hundred co-authors and made 403 publications in 30 different areas, because his research model has cyclic direction between science reports, patented inventions, and manufactured technologies [42]. Semi-conductors mono-crystal growth has great importance for Bulgarian solid-state physics experiments during the second half of XX century [Τ2]. Milko Borissov's research on history of physics has two stages. He examined development of the physics in Bulgaria mainly [35], [47]
