Objective This work is devoted to further development of material treatment. methods carried out within the scope of "Human Capital and Mobility programme," subtask "Large-Scale Facilities". This proposal includes the participation of the Institute for High Temperatures of the Russian Academy of Sciences (IVTAN) to use the Russian experience in fabrication and testing of materials for space applications and investigation of their properties. In addition to the current research programs in the affect of highly concentrated solar radiation on different materials, this proposal includes experimental simulation of the main factors of space flight on material properties: - the effect of O-atom high speed fluxes on surface etching processes using special shock tube to produce high speeds (up to 8 kms/s)O-atom collisionless beams. - simulation of thermal loads of reentry vehicle using solar radiation concentrator and technological vacuum chamber to expose test specimens to high intensity light fluxes (up to 300 W/cm2) and controlled gas conditions - development of new method for solid state surface analysis based on control of polarizing parameters of the reelected signalsource or probe radiation This proposal should achieve the following objectives: 1. Investigation of the dependence of surface properties of materials on different conditions of their use especially for space applications - 2. Development of a materials surface modification method 3. Development of a new method of surface monitoring based on polarizing analysis 4. Involving Russian materials for space application under investigation The work can be extended to include simulation of other space flight conditions and electron beams, electro-magnetic shock waves, etc. Programme(s) IC-PECO/COPERNICUS - Scientific and technological cooperation between the European Community and European non-member countries, 1992- Topic(s) 0403 - CEEC participation in HUMAN CAPITAL & MOBILITY programme (LARGE SCALE FACILITIES) Call for proposal Data not available Funding Scheme CSC - Cost-sharing contracts Coordinator CENTRO DE INVESTIGACIONES ENERGETICAS, MEDIAMBIENTALES Y TECNOLOGICAS EU contribution No data Address S/N,Carretera Senes S/N 04200 TABERNAS Spain See on map Total cost No data
