The research program is focused on the study of:

  • Intrinsic, impurity, radiation and light-induced paramagnetic-active defects in solids;
  • Physical properties of thin films and nanomaterials;
  • Local structure and dynamics of relaxors and disordered ferroelectrics;
  • Physical properties of new magnetoelectric materials, multiferroics and materials for spintronics.  The whole text >>

The properties of the solid surfaces are investigated by electron spectroscopy methods at Electron spectroscopy laboratory (ESL). The laboratory is equipped with two spectrometers. The ADES 400 (Angular distribution electron spectrometer) photoelectron spectrometer (VG Scientific) was bought in 1980 (Fig. 1). The second one, AXIS Supra (Fig. 2), was delivered by Kratos Analytical Ltd. at the end of 2014.

Scope
  • Searching for and preparation of materials - crystals, epitaxial layers, nanostructures and glasses - of high quality and purity with interesting optical properties and with their possible application in laser hosts in near IR range, as neutrons, gama and X-rays radiations detectors in industrial and medical application.
  • Preparation of model crystalline systems for luminescence mechanism study.  The whole text >>

Core facilities of Laboratory of diamond thin films and carbon nanostructures consist of two unique microwave deposition systems Aixtron P6 and Roth & Rau AK 400. Both deposition systems represent a microwave plasma assisted chemical vapor deposition. At present time, the system Aixtron P6 is routinely used for growth of nanocrystalline diamond thin films (NCD) (Fig. 1).
