Phase transitions

The conference “Solidification: computer simulation, experiments and technology” (Izhevsk, Russia) has been held seven times since 1986 with the periodicity between 3 and 6 years. Before 2016 the conference had the national level. Since 2016 it includes presentations of international participants. Along with the theory, modeling and practical application of solidification from the liquid state, the scientific topics of the conference also include reports on modern scientific problems. The scope comprises the fields of atomistic dynamics, amorphous systems, aging of alloys and processes in the solid crystalline phase, as well as a new direction related to additive technologies.

The international conference on theoretical, experimental and numerical studies of nucleation and growth of crystals and thin films (http://ru.mgctf.ru) will take place at Saint-Petersburg Scientific Center of the Russian Academy of Sciences on July 1–5, 2019. The topics include the fundamental problems of phase transitions, nonlinear and collective phenomena during crystal growth, physics, chemistry, mechanics of crystal surfaces, lattice defects. The works concerning wide-bandgap semiconductors are especially welcome. Participants can give a plenary lecture (35 minutes), an oral presentation (20 minutes) or a poster. Registration and other organizational details are available on the conference website.
