The Polytechnic delegation visited the capital of Belarus, Minsk. Our university was represented by Acting Director of the PhysMech Institute Alexey Filimonov, Advisor to the Rector’s Office Vadim Korablyov, and Associate Professor of the Higher School of Engineering Physics Vyacheslav Bondarenko. The program of the trip included discussion of cooperation prospects and participation in scientific events.
The visit began with a working meeting at the Presidium of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus. It is headed by the Head of the Department of Aerospace Activities of the NAS, Academician Pyotr Vityaz. During the discussion, in which the Director of the Institute of Applied Physics of the NAS, Professor Mikhail Kheifets, also took an active part, the scientists considered a number of promising areas for joint research. In particular, they discussed plans to prepare materials for the Union State program in the areas of “Life Sciences” and “Materials Science”.
After that, the SPbPU delegation visited the VII International Scientific Conference “Modeling of Synthesis and Destruction of Materials”, where issues of deepening cooperation in this extremely important applied area of research were considered. Colleagues emphasized the seriousness of the publication activity of the Union State countries and agreed to strengthen it. The Belarusian side proposed to conduct an economic analysis and make a decision on expanding the composition of the founders of the highly rated journal “Nonlinear Phenomena in Complex Systems”.
Polytechnicians took part in the XI International Scientific Conference “Materials and Structures of Modern Electronics”, which is traditionally held at the Physics Department of the Belarusian State University. Specialists present to the scientific community the main results of experimental and theoretical research in the field of semiconductor physics, condensed matter and nanotechnology. More than 50 oral reports were heard at the conference.
The team of polytechnics presented two reports. The first report “Natural size effect in heterocontacts” is devoted to obtaining information about the nature of the electronic properties of the surface of semiconductors and contact structures. Our scientists showed the results of a study of the natural size effect in semiconductor heterocontacts during the distribution of space charge on point and extended linear defects, which is extremely relevant in debugging the technology of manufacturing modern electronic devices on heterojunctions.
The second report, written in collaboration with colleagues from the A. A. Baikov Institute of Metallurgy and Materials Science of the Russian Academy of Sciences, was called “Magnetostriction anomalies and magnetocaloric effect of rare-earth Laves phases based on cobalt.” It presented the results of comprehensive studies of the structure and magnetic properties of practically significant rare-earth alloys, as well as the study of anomalies in the area of phase transitions using various techniques.
On the sidelines of the conference, several working meetings were held with the Director of the B. I. Stepanov Institute of Physics of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus, Academician S. V. Gaponenko, Deputy Head of the State Center “Belmicroanalysis”, Corresponding Member of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus V. A. Pilipenko, Foreign Member of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Academician N. A. Poklonsky, Dean of the Instrument-Making Faculty of the Belarusian National Technical University A. I. Svistun and Professors of the Belarusian State University of Informatics and Radioelectronics A. G. Smirnov and G. G. Gorokh.
The outcome of these meetings was a decision to prepare a large, comprehensive interdisciplinary application within the framework of the Union State research program.
