Subject syllabus

1. Progressive methods of the production of nonferrous metals and alloys with specific properties (induction skull melting, centrifugal casting, electron beam floating zone melting, plasma metallurgy, Bridgman method, Czochralski method, melt spinning, strip casting, atomization, etc.)
2. Preparation methods of metal matrix composite (squeeze casting, vacuum and pressure infiltration, reaction infiltration, powder metallurgy techniques, HIP process, etc.)
3. Additive manufacturing technologies (stereolithography, selective laser sintering, direct metal laser sintering, fused deposition modelling, laminated object manufacturing)
4. Methods of the highly pure materials production (Theoretic principles of ion exchange, chromatography, sorption and extraction, distillation, rectification, transport reactions, electro-dialysis, electrolysis, electro-transport).
5. Equilibrium distribution coefficient - methods of determination, retrograde solubility, correlation dependencies of ko on different parameters.
6. Directional crystallization and zone melting – fundamental principles.
7. Conditions on the phase crystal - melt interface, kinetic and effective distribution coefficient, Burton - Prim – Slichter equation.
8. Kinetics of the growth, convection in melt.
9. Methods of kef determination from experimental results, method of the materials balance, Vigdorovich method, frozen zone, slot method.
10. Epitaxial techniques for the formation of thin layers – LPE, VPE, LE, SPE, EEE, MBE methods.
11. Semiconductor materials, purification and production technology.
12. Preparation of semiconductor compounds from non-stoichiometric melt.
13.-14. High purity materials analysis, radiometric methods, X-ray methods, residual resistivity measurements, etc.
