About
S. Divinskyi is an extraordinary professor (apl. Prof.) at the University of Münster's Institute of Materials Physics, where he leads the Isotope Laboratory. His academic journey includes a habilitation (2011) from Münster University, a prior habilitation (2006) from the Institute of Metal Physics in Kiev, and a PhD (1990) from the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology focused on computer simulations of metal textures.
His research centers on diffusion phenomena in complex systems, including multi-component alloys, metallic glasses, and nanocrystalline materials. Key themes include grain boundary dynamics, deformation impacts on diffusion, and molecular dynamics simulations. Divinskyi employs tracer diffusion techniques to study composition-dependent atomic transport and interfacial thermodynamics.
Divinskyi's recent publications emphasize computational and experimental advances in diffusion kinetics. Trends include machine learning applications in atomistic simulations (e.g., tungsten diffusion), high-entropy alloy behavior under deformation, and nanoglass interfaces. His work frequently addresses non-equilibrium states in additive manufacturing and irradiation effects on amorphous materials.
