XVI International Scientific Conference and School of Young Scholars “Physical and Chemical Processes in Atomic Systems”

Abstract

PrefaceThis special volume contains the proceedings of XVI International Scientific Conference and School of Young Scholars “Physical and Chemical Processes in Atomic Systems”. This forum was dedicated to the 75th anniversary of the nuclear Industry of USSR/Russia and Moscow Engineering Physics Institute (MEPhI) organized in 1942. The conference was held in Moscow, Russian Federation in 20–22 November, 2017.The organizers of the conference are• Institute of Nanotechnologies in Electronics, Spintronics, and Photonics at National Research Nuclear University “MEPhI”.• State Research Center of Russian Federation Troitsk Institute for Innovation and Fusion Research (“TRINITI”).This event has offered a platform in bringing together students, postdocs, innovative academics and industrial experts to exchange their ideas and contributing an integrative approach to research physical and chemical processes in various atomic systems.The program of the conference consists of oral invited lectures of the leading experts on selected topics and numerous posters.The wide range of fundamental and applied physical and chemical processes in various atomic systems has undergone consideration during the meeting. The main topics of the conference include the following tracks:Track 1: physics of separation processes, including separation of isotopes in rapidly rotating flows.Track 2: selective transport phenomena in membranes.Track 3: water treatment.Track 4: physics of surface and colloids.Track 5: extremal gas dynamics.Track 6: physical phenomena in porous medium.As is well known, the study of physical and chemical processes in numerous atomic systems requires using the diverse physical and chemical methods. This will explain why a fair amount of reports are focused on the development of new instruments and techniques for the research of multiple phenomena in such systems.Note that some reports presented in these proceedings have been considerably modified by their authors after discussions held during the conference. Also, the program committee of the conference came to the opinion of the possibility to include in the proceedings a few additional posters corresponding to the scope of the meeting as a result of the carried out round table discussion.The interest shown by Russian and foreign scholars as well as students either to the forum format or the subjects of reports, gives us hope for a continuation of this meeting.The special volume is supported by MEPhI Academic Excellence Project, contracts No 02.a03.21.0005, 27.08.2013.Guest EditorProfessor Vladimir D.
