BSC New Materials

Overview: The BSC New Materials brings together researchers studying the experimental and theoretical aspects of solid phase formation and it's application in advanced technologies and engineering systems. Solid phase formation as a research field is inherently interdisciplinary and lies at the interface of condensed matter physics, materials science, chemistry, mechanics and computational methods. The target audience includes scientists and engineers working in the theory of solid phase formation, crystal growth dynamics, metallic and ceramic materials, amorphous materials, and polymers, representing both academia and industry.

Objective: To achieve and publish cutting-edge research results in the theory and technologies of forming metallic, semiconducting, organic, inorganic, and polymeric materials in bulk and thin-film form. This also covers casting, welding, and additive manufacturing processes associated with solid phase formation, as well as the study of phenomena in multiphysical fields such as electric, ultrasonic, and magnetic fields.

Key Tasks:

• Investigation of the mechanisms of nucleation and crystallization growth.
• Study of the characteristics of interphase boundaries.
• Formation of microstructures.
• Crystallization under nonequilibrium conditions.
• Synthesis and characterization of the structure and properties of new materials.
• Computational approaches and artificial intelligence for materials creation technologies.
• The use of new materials in devices and promising applications.
