Valentin Irkhin works at the Institute of Metal Physics after graduating with honors from the Urals State University (1982).  Ph.D.  thesis in1985 (under the guidance of Academician S. V. Vonsovskii,), Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences (1992); chief researcer, since 2014 - head.of laboratory. Author of about 240 scientific articles and reviews, as well as a number of textbooks and books on solid state physics, the philosophy of science, semiotics and hermeneutics.

One of the leading specialists in the field of many-electron models of a solid body, the quantum theory of magnetism, the physics of strongly correlated electron systems, transition and rare-earth metals. Scientific interests also include low-dimensional compounds, conducting ferromagnets, high-temperature superconductors, systems with intermediate valence and heavy fermions. Among the most important results are the development of the theory of anomalous magnetism in Kondo lattices, a description of the properties of semiconductors with an intermediate valence, the investigation of the kinetic properties of half-metallic ferromagnets, and the calculation of the temperatures of phase transitions in layered and chain magnetic materials.
