Laboratories of Department 12

Raman and spectroscopic microscopy laboratory is mostly focused on studies of lattice vibrations of crystalline materials in relation with structural phase transitions or ferroelectric and ferroelastic domains, although many other investigations are carried out through the collaboration with internal or external partners.

The principal mission of the computational laboratory is to provide theoretical background to the selected leading experimental activities of the Department of Dielectrics. Currently, the laboratory is focused on crystallography and symmetry aspects of phase transitions, ferroelectric domains and domain walls, effective medium approaches, lattice dynamics and diffuse scattering.
