Crystallography and Applications

in Modern Chemistry

One of the main tasks of theoretical physics is to obtain the basic

equations for all aggregate states of matter (plasma, gas, liquid,

solid). Aggregate states of matter are determined by the location,

nature of themotion and interaction of particles. The predominant

aggregative state of matter in the universe is plasma. At present,

the Vlasov’s kinetic equation is the basis of plasma physics.

It is used to describe the universe, calculate plasma devices,

tokamaks, etc. The Vlasov’s equation describes the long-range

interaction (or “action at a distance”) and, depending on the type

of interaction, distinguishes the Vlasov-Poisson, Vlasov-Maxwell,

Vlasov-Einstein, and Vlasov-Yang-Mills equations. 70 years ago

Vlasov suggested that in order to understand physical processes

in systems consisting of many particles, it is necessary to use the

equation proposed by him for describing the plasma [1]. In the

basis of such approach, Vlasov put the introduction of a unified

distribution function that depends on all the coordinates and their

derivatives up to any order (non-local statistical mechanics). In

modern crystallophysics the fact of the presence of a crystal

structure with atoms localized near the lattice sites is not derived

from the theory, but is postulated. From the Vlasov’s viewpoint,

“A crystal is not a postulated construction, but a certain state of

motion of particles”. As a result of the probabilistic approach,

Vlasov obtained themaincriterion for the existenceof a crystalline

state [2]. This criterion contains the condition for the beginning of

theprocessof crystal formationfromthehomogeneousphaseand

makes it possible to determine the numerical value of the period.

This consideration was carried out by Vlasov for an ideal crystal.

A theoretical description of the formation of a real (defective)

crystal structure from the viewpoint of the classical approach is

based on the model of high-temperature impurity precipitation.

In accordance with this model, complexes “intrinsic point defect

+ impurity atom” are formed near the crystallization front. In the

process of crystal cooling, the growth and coalescence of formed

precipitates lead to the formation of a defective structure of the

crystal. The formation of a defective crystal structure is controlled

by its thermal growth conditions (growth rate, temperature

gradients, cooling rate) [3]. We checked the positions of Vlasov’s

physics for real single crystals of semiconductor silicon. We

confirmed the fact of complex formation near the crystallization

front [4, 5]. The classical and probabilistic models for the

formation of a defective crystal structure lead to identical results.

The probabilistic approach allows give a new interpretation of the

known results of studies of heat-treated crystals. The formation

of thermal donors and thermal acceptors occurs as a result of

the process of coalescence of impurity precipitates. Based on

the solution obtained, three main conclusions can be drawn: (1)

Vlasov’s theory is a far-reaching and natural extension of classical

mechanics. (2) Vlasov’s equation can be used to describe any

aggregate state of matter. (3) Vlasov’s equation is a universal tool

for describing the processes taking place in the physical world

(both in the macrocosm and in the microcosm).
