At the beginnings Physics taught at the Faculty of Sciences, founded in October 8th 1863 (up to 1948). From 1948 up to 1962 existed the Faculty of Physics and Mathematics. In the last 45 years there is the Faculty of Physics. In 1974 the Faculty of Physics received an special campus on the Physics Platform Măgurele, created at the proposal of Professor Horia Hulubei, member of the Romanian Academy, since 1949.

The electrochemical measurements associated with UV-Vis spectrophotometry followed by quantum chemical calculations were performed, their results showing that: MNZ inhibition efficiency reached a value of 90.0 % ±2, at 1.0 mmol L-1 inhibitor concentration; the amount of corrosion products decreases in the presence of MNZ; the formation of complexes between MNZ and copper, as well as their effective contribution to growth a protective layer at the metal/solution interface; MNZ action mechanism resulted from the parallel processes between the occurrence of chemical bonds and electrostatic interactions was certified by quantum chemical calculations, when ab initio to the approximate level of density functional theory (DFT) was used by assigning the Gamees molecular modeling.
