02.00.04 Physical chemistry Speciality Certificate

Speciality code: 02.00.04 Physical chemistry

Speciality formula:
Physical chemistry is a part of chemistry concerned with general laws determining the structure of matter, the direction and rate of chemical transformations under different external conditions. Physical chemistry also considers quantitative interactions between the chemical composition, structure and properties of substances. 
General physical laws constitute the theoretical basis of physical chemistry. Physical chemistry includes the doctrine of molecule structure, chemical thermodynamics and chemical kinetics.

Area of research:
1. Experimental determination and calculation of parameters of molecule structure and spatial structure of substances.
2. Experimental determination of thermodynamic properties of substances, calculation of thermodynamic functions of simple and complex systems using, among other methods, statistical thermodynamics techniques; research into phase transformation and phase transition thermodynamics.
3. Determination of thermodynamic characteristics of surface processes, establishment of regular features of interface adsorption and active centers formation on such surfaces.
4. Theory of solutions; intermolecular and interparticle interactions.
5. Study of physicochemical properties of systems under the influence of external fields and extreme conditions of high temperatures and high pressures.
6. Non-equilibrium processes, mass, energy and entropy flows of spatial and time structures in non-equilibrium systems.
7. Macrokinetics, mechanisms of complex chemical processes, physicochemical hydrodynamics, dissolution and crystallization.
8. Elementary event dynamics during chemical transformations.
9. Elementary reactions with participation of active particles.
10. Correlation of reactivity of reagents with their structure and conditions of chemical reactions.
11. Physicochemical principles of chemical technology processes.
