19th Research Workshop Nucleation Theory and Applications

Dubna, Russia, April 1 – 30, 2015

Third Announcement

General Information Research workshops on Nucleation Theory and Applications have been organised at the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research in Dubna, Russia, since 1997 every year in close co-operation between the Department of Physics of the University of Rostock, Germany (Dr. Jürn W. P. Schmelzer, Prof. Gerd Röpke) and the Bogoliubov Laboratory of Theoretical Physics of the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research (JINR), Dubna, Russia (Prof. Vyatcheslav B. Priezzhev, Dr. Vyatcheslav I. Zhuravlev, Mrs. Galina G. Sandukovskaya). The organisation of the workshops was and is supported by colleagues from the International Department of the JINR (Mrs. Elena N. Rusakovich) and sponsored by the Heisenberg - Landau program of the German Ministry for Science and Technology (BMBF), the Deutsche Forschungs-gemeinschaft (DFG), the German Academic Exchange Council (DAAD), the Russian Foundation for Basic Research and others. The general aim of the workshops was and is to discuss recent developments in this field with particular emphasis on the work done in

the different groups invited; to establish and/or tighten direct co-operation links in the framework of different common

projects (DFG, BMBF, DAAD, RFBR, etc.); to bring together a number of leading scientists in the field of the theoretical description

and experimental investigations of first-order phase transformations and critical phenomena of the member countries of JINR, Germany and beyond in order to perform or develop new research projects in this field;

to check whether the experimental facilities available at the JINR in Dubna can be utilised for an experimental investigation of the kinetics of phase transformation processes in different systems of interest.

These aims could be fully realised as it is evident also from the Workshop Proceedings which have been published in Dubna in 1999, 2002, 2005, 2008, 2011, and 2013 (special issue, vol. 1). In the present year, another monograph (J. W. P. Schmelzer (Ed.): Glass: Selected Properties and Crystallization, de Gruyter, 2014) was published reflecting different circles of problems analyzed at the workshops.

Time-table

Some Hints Concerning Presentations The time for the speakers in their lectures is - if not specified otherwise - not strictly limited to allow one a detailed explanation even of details of the research and an extensive discussion. Nevertheless, due to the large number of highly interesting contributions already proposed now and to have some order in anticipating the program, commonly either 1 hour is taken as a rough estimate for the duration of one lecture.

The workshop languages are English and Russian. If possible, English should be preferred. At least, the presentations (Power point etc.) should be written in English. Summaries of the content in the respective alternative language will be given as far as necessary.

Accommodation and Financial Regulations

No conference fee is required. We will cover as a rule the costs for accommodation in Dubna and, as far as far as agreed upon, the travel expenses (at the level of the costs for railway tickets of the cheapest category (“platzkartnyi vagon”)) for invited speakers from Russia and the former Soviet Republics to Dubna and back (for refunding the expenses, please, do not forget to take a komandirovotschnoe udostoverenie with you and bank account details for payment of return tickets).

Please inform us as well whether you will join the excursion on Friday, again, no special information we consider as the sign that you are interested in the excursion. For colleagues arriving by plane, a shuttle service will/can be organized. So, colleagues interested in are asked to submit us in advance the dates/times of arrival and departure and flight numbers.
