Seminar of Frank Laboratory of Neutron Physics
Leader – Lychagin E.V.
Wednesday, 11 December 2024, at 3:00 PM in the Frank Laboratory of Neutron Physics (FLNP) Conference Hall the Joint Laboratory Seminar will be held.
Seminar topic: “Orbital degrees of freedom in condensed matter physics
Speaker: S.V. Streltsov Corresponding Member of RAS, Professor of RAS, Dr. Sci. in Physics and Mathematics M.N.Mikheev Institute of Metal Physics, Ural Branch RAS, Yekaterinburg, Russia
Abstract:
The properties of transition metal compounds are largely determined by the nontrivial interplay of different degrees of freedom: charge, spin, lattice, and also orbital ones. Especially rich and interesting effects occur in systems with orbital degeneracy. They result in the famous Jahn-Teller effect, leading to a plethora of consequences, in static and in dynamic properties, including nontrivial quantum effects. In the present talk, we will discuss the main phenomena in the physics of such systems, with particular attention to their novel manifestations. We will first briefly discuss the basic phenomena and their description, and then focus on several specific directions in this field. One of them is the reduction of effective dimensionality in many systems with orbital degrees of freedom due to the directional character of orbitals, with concomitant occurrence of some instabilities, leading, in particular, to the formation of dimers, trimers and similar clusters in the material. The properties of such cluster systems, largely determined by their orbital structure, are discussed in detail, and many specific examples of those in different materials are presented. Another large area that has gained particular importance relatively recently is the role of relativistic spin-orbit interaction. The mutual influence of this interaction and the more traditional Jahn-Teller physics are considered in detail in the second part of the review. In discussing all these issues, special attention is paid to the new quantum effects in them.
The research was supported by the Russian Science Foundation (project № 23-12-00159).

A memorial plaque to Onykiy Boris Nikolaevich was unveiled
On February 20, 2024, in the 5th building of the National Research Nuclear University MEPhI at the Department of Analysis of Competitive Systems of the Institute of International Relations, the grand opening of a memorial plaque to the former rector of the university Boris Nikolaevich Onykiy took place, dedicated to the 85th anniversary of his birth.
Sculptor Alexander Mironov managed to masterfully convey not only the image of Boris Onykiy, but also symbolically capture the key milestones in Boris Nikolayevich’s life path - the Riga Nakhimov Naval School, MEPhI, the Central Institute for Advanced Studies of the Ministry of Medium Machine Building, the Academy of Cryptography of the Russian Federation and many others.
The opening ceremony of the memorial plaque was attended by relatives, friends and associates of Boris Nikolaevich, each of whom had warm words of gratitude and appreciation for him.
Oleg Nagornov, First Vice-rector of MEPhI, noted that "Boris Nikolaevich made an invaluable contribution not only to the development, but also to the existence of MEPhI. He had a difficult time in the history of MEPhI. He was able to hold this ship, for which we express our great gratitude to him."
Vladimir Korenkov, Scientific Leader of the Meshcheryakov Laboratory of Information Technology of the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research, noted that Boris Onykiy was able to contribute to many different scientific fields: "He was a symbol of cooperation between the JINR Laboratory of Information Technology, MEPhI and CERN ", co-founder of the Dubna School, many of whose students have already become prominent scientists themselves, who they preserve and multiply the knowledge and principles laid down by Boris Nikolaevich. More recently, I became aware that the JINR University Centre was established in 1993 on the initiative of Boris Nikolaevich. I would like to thank everyone present and wish his followers, students, and students great success, but first of all all the best to his wonderful family."
A warm, family atmosphere prevailed at the event, which continued in the evening with memories of Boris Nikolaevich's role and contribution to the life of each of his friends, associates, followers and students.
The Conference "Artificial Intelligence Technologies 2024"
On February 13, 2024, CNews is holding a conference "Artificial Intelligence Technologies 2024 ".
The Russian market for AI solutions is growing rapidly, significantly outpacing the global market in terms of growth rates. In most segments, domestic products are not inferior to foreign competitors. Therefore, the artificial intelligence technology segment suffered little from the sanctions. Most companies did not need import substitution - they initially purchased domestic solutions. The cost of AI solutions has begun to decline, technologies are becoming available to medium and small businesses. And government support will allow us to refine the functionality and create platform solutions that customers currently lack.
The lectures “Modern science: the social structure of its ideas” series
The JINR Scientists’ Club invites everyone interested to the series of lectures “Modern science: the social structure of its ideas”.
The series of lectures are aimed at strengthening the interaction of JINR natural science community with scientists currently working in the field of humanities. The topics reflect current issues in the development of science, culture, society and, at the same time, have a clear projection on the social and ccultural issues of the Institute. Traditions of active interaction between the natural and human sciences have characterized JINR throughout its history. The current stage of development of science, culture, active geopolitical processes require deep and, at the same time, pragmatically oriented analysis specifically from the humanities.
The speaker is Vitaly Kurennoy,professor, director of the Institute for Cultural Studies of the National Research University Higher School of Economics, Russian philosopher, cultural scientist, translator and publicist, specialist in the field of research methods modern culture, history of modern Western philosophy, institutional history of knowledge and social and political theory.
The first two lectures will be held at the JINR Scientists’ Club 8 and 9 February 2024, at 4:30 PM in a hybrid format. The third and final lecture of the “Modern science: the social structure of its ideas” series will be online on Monday, 12 February 2024, at 4:30 PM, the link will be available on JINR Scientists’ Club website.
The lectures will present a historical and systematic analysis of the idea of modern science and the principles of its social structuring within the framework of the system of the production and reproduction of scientific knowledge in modern institutions. The main objective of the lectures is to reveal the genealogical meaning of the basic elements of this system, which has been forming since the era of classical schools of Ancient Greece and has acquired national peculiarities in the modern world.
Key concepts: artes liberales; the ancient idea of scientific knowledge; ex nihilo and modern physics; medieval university: rise and fall; humanist scientist; Academy of Sciences; modern university models; research university; Research Institute; modern mechanisms for supporting scientific research and their social meaning.
