            Course content
        
        
            The course "Phase formation processes in amorphous and nanocrystalline systems" considers both classical and modern achievements in the field of the theory of crystallization and amorphization of metal systems; theory of nucleation of binary and multicomponent systems. The purpose of studying the discipline is to master the basic laws of the theory of homogeneous and heterogeneous nucleation in application to amorphous metal systems. The educational task of the course is to master the methods of calculation and experimental measurements of the main parameters of the crystallization process for specific amorphous systems. The task is to acquaint students with the laws of homogeneous and heterogeneous crystallization for single-component and multicomponent systems, as well as processes of amorphization of metal systems, training in methods of calculating the main characteristics of the crystallization process for specific binary systems.
