Study of geomaterials structure for substantiation of the earthquakes physics

A new line in investigation of physical properties of rocks and minerals at high pressures and temperatures

“…The results obtained suggest that processes are likely to take place in the Earth's crust, which are accompanied both by the off-orientation of the block structure and its enlargement. This experiment is a further proof of conclusions of our previous work about the interrelation of processes which take place at different scale levels [Sobolev et al, 1995]. Thus, it was determined that the neutron diffraction method is reasonably informative for studying processes which are going on in the rocks and in A team of research fellows from the IPHP, IPE RAS and UINI has developed an apparatus/measuring complex with a VME computer-based automated control system of the experiment in a neutron beam, with data acquisition and processing.…”
