International Seminar "Structural foundations of materials modification"

On June 10-12, the International Seminar "Structural Foundations of Materials Modification" was held at the Obninsk Institute of Atomic Energy of the National Research Nuclear University (INPE NRU MEPhI).

During two days, representatives of the OINPE of the National Research Nuclear University MEPhI, the Kurchatov Institute, the National Research Nuclear University MEPhI, the University of Pretoria (South Africa), JSC SSC RF FEI, the Udmurt Federal Research Center of the Ural Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, UdGU, JSC ONPP Technologiya named after A.G. Romashin, RUDN University made presentations at the seminar., Bauman Moscow State Technical University, the Baikov Institute of Metallurgy and Materials Science of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Siberian State Industrial University, Kemerovo State University, JSC NIKIET, JSC EKON, the Institute of Solid State Chemistry of the Ural Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences.

The seminar presented a wide range of works devoted to the study of changes occurring in materials under the influence of external factors. Special attention was paid to radiation and laser effects, intense deformation, and ultrafast cooling of melts. The discussion focused on the metastable phases resulting from these processes and the unique phenomena accompanying them in systems of varying degrees of openness. The seminar participants discussed the nature of nonequilibrium structural states, such as amorphous alloys, amorphous materials, nano- and quasi-crystals.

At each seminar, new results were demonstrated on developments and research in the field of new high-temperature ceramic materials, polymer composite materials, their behavior under extreme conditions, technologies for the production and processing of high-strength heat-resistant glasses.

A significant place in the seminar program was occupied by reports on the development of advanced experimental methods of materials analysis, as well as on the use of modeling and computer technologies in materials science.
