The conditions of formation of low-stability condensed state systems, their behavior and structure are investigated. The objects
under study are alloys and compounds undergoing structural-phase transitions of the second type or close to it. The low-stability
(pre-transitional) state is treated here as the state of a system near its structural-phase transformations, in which its
structure and properties exhibit anomalies. An attempt is made to interpret the system from the physical standpoint relying
on a new insight into its state, in which the traditionally accepted phase-transition point is represented by a range of values
of the parameter controlling the transition. The material state within this range of values is structurally weakly stable
in terms of slight variations in the controlling parameter. It is shown that the thermodynamics of structural-phase transformations
of the material in this transient state is significantly affected by the interaction of structure defects.

A charged particle is considered in a complex external electromagnetic field. The field is a superposition of an Aharonov–Bohm
field and some additional field. Here we describe all additional fields known up to the present time that allow exact solution
of the Schrödinger equation in a complex field.

Results of mathematical modeling of plastic strain superlocalization are presented with allowance for dislocation redistribution
into dislocation walls. The model based on the concept of hardening and rest is used to construct equations describing kinetics
of dislocations and substructure transformations. It is demonstrated that depending on the scenario of the strain model evolution
in the microvolume of a deformable body, different types of localization are possible under the influence of stress concentrators.

A cycle of investigations carried out by the authors and devoted to the most important cellular dislocation substructure is
generalized. Laws of formation of this substructure upon plastic strain of FCC Cu–Mn and Cu–Al alloy polycrystals are considered.
The influence of the grain size, strain temperature, and alloy concentration on the parameters of evolving cellular dislocation
substructures (DSS) is quantitatively analyzed by the transmission electron microscopy (TEM) method. Special attention is
given to the kinetic phase transition in the defect subsystem leading to the formation of the cellular DSS. Based on modern
dislocation models, it is demonstrated that hardening by the cellular DSS obeys the main dislocation laws.

Raman spectroscopy is used to investigate the morphology of silicon phase composition in the indenter imprint with spatial

The structure evolution of the Zr₅₀Ni₁₈Ti₁₇Cu₁₅ massive metal glass upon megaplastic strain (MPS) in the Bridgeman chamber is investigated in a wide interval of strain degrees
at room temperature. It is demonstrated that upon MPS with n = 1/2 rotation of the Bridgeman anvil, nanocrystalline phases are precipitated in the alloy. With increasing strain, these
phases are dissolved. It is suggested that nucleation centers of nanocrystalline phases (nanoclusters) are formed in the amorphous
matrix upon MPS under compression without shear in the Bridgeman chamber. These phases grow in the shear bands transforming
into the nanocrystalline phase upon MPS.

The self-blocking effect predicted theoretically and then observed in intermetallides is established for a pure metal, namely,
for magnesium. This effect can be observed only for magnesium single crystals whose axis is parallel to the c axis and whose yield stress behavior σ

(T) has a temperature anomaly. For such single crystals, the self-blocking of the (c + a)-type edge dislocations is established during pyramidal slip of type II. The self-blocking is proved by dislocation extension
along the preferred direction without external stress. In this case, the

The results of investigations into the influence of disperse particles on the temperatures of martensitic transformations
as well as values of thermal and mechanical hysteresis in the FeNiCoAlTa, CoNiGa, NiFeGa, TiNi single crystals are reported.
It is shown that the disperse particles are responsible for refining martensitic crystals and changing their fine twin structure
as compared with the monophase state. This, in turn, affects the values of thermal and mechanical hysteresis and the temperature
range of superelasticity.

The results of theoretical and experimental studies of the mechanisms of diffusion-controlled processes in nanostructured
metals and alloys available in the literature and obtained by the authors are discussed. The molecular dynamic method was
used in the context of a modified embedded-atom method was used to investigate the process of collective recrystallization
of nanocrystalline titanium. An analytical description of the recrystallization kinetics has been proposed which takes into
account the contributions of triple joints to the thermodynamic driving force. Methods of transmission, including high-resolution,
electron microscopy were used to examine the kinetics of collective recrystallization in nanostructured titanium VT1-0. The
temperature dependence and values of the activation energy for collective recrystallization have been determined. Problems
of practical implementation of nanostructured unalloyed titanium in medicine are discussed.
