On possible formulation of problems of a Dense Plasma Focus used in material sciences

The paper describes various possibilities at can be given by the use of dense plasma focus (DPF) device in material sciences. Main distinguishing features of such a device – availability of several different types of hard radiation and its high power flux density – determine the niche of applications of this type devices in the field. Some directions of materials investigation and treatment, which can be developed at present time, are discussed.
