•
Dynamics of dislocations and grain boundaries in 2D and 3D crystals;
•
Phase transitions — melting resolved in time and space;
•
Solitary waves and shock waves at the kinetic level;
•
Phase separation at the “nano-level”.
2. Plasma Coating and Sources (see fig. 4).
The principal aim of the
laboratory is to develop novel methods and tools of ion-plasma surface
processing. Particular development directions are:
•
Optimized methods of vacuum arc evaporation, development of
facilities characterized by low droplet-phase concentration;
•
Technologies to form nanostructured coating;
•
Methods of ion-stimulated thermodiffusion and surface implantation;
•
Development of ion and plasma thrusters for nano-scale processing
of optical parts;
•
Methods of ion polishing to surface roughness of less than 1 nm.
3. New Materials (see fig. 5, fig. 6, fig. 7).
New materials produced
using plasma technology already demonstrate fascinating properties, and
we are only at the beginning of their studies. The development of new
nanostructured materials in the laboratory will include the following
principal directions:
•
Study of multilayer monocrystalline and polycrystalline nanostructures;
