JSC “PO” Electrochemical Plant “(JSC” On the ECH “, the company of the fuel division” Rosatom “in ZATO Zelenogorsk Krasnoyarsk Territory) and the Siberian Federal University (SFU) signed an agreement on research work.

The contract is concluded within the framework of the cooperation agreement between the Siberian Federal District and JSC “on the ECH”, signed in 2023. The work under the contract is designed for three years and is divided into three stages.

By order of ACH JSC, SFU students under the guidance of teachers will perform research to study the magnetoelectromechanical parameters of isotopic-modified monocrystals, promising in functional electronics.

Preparation for research began in 2024, when the plant put the first batch of isotopic products to the Department of Physics and Nanotechnologies of the SFU. The purpose of the work is the cultivation of isotopic-modified monocrystals and the study of their properties. The main objects of research are materials such as lead tetrable (Piezoelectrick), Holmia (multiferroic) ferroboyste and zinc oxide (piezo -heater).

According to the head of the project for the development of the isotopic production of the ECP, Nikolai Hassomov, the final report on research work will contain proposals on the technical applicability of the results-the properties of isotopic-modified crystals in electronics, sensors and other high-tech areas. The identified characteristics of crystals will be presented to potential consumers – companies using high technologies.

Today, isotopic-modified elements are produced in the isotopes of the electrochemical plant, which can be used in functional electronics. This is iron enriched with a stable FE-58 isotope with an enrichment of 50-59 %, lead enriched with a stable PB-208 isotope with an enrichment of 70-79 %, and zinc, enriched with a stable Isotope of ZN-64 with an enrichment of 80-89.

“The Russian industry is faced with the shortest possible time to ensure technological sovereignty and the transition to the latest technologies. The state and large domestic companies direct resources to the accelerated development of domestic research, infrastructure, and scientific and technological base. The introduction of innovations and new high-tech equipment allows Rosatom and its enterprises to occupy new niches in the market, increasing the competitiveness of the nuclear industry and the entire Russian industry as a whole, ”the press service of the ECP emphasized.
