The research is aimed at novel forms of the Solid State, the properties or behaviour of which are mainly determined by either their surface, or nanometric, layer, or aperiodic structure.
The major feature is synergy ranging from advanced technologies for preparation of materials, unique characterization methods in a wide range of external conditions, to atomic and nanometric levels, up to the treatment of related problems by microphysical theoretical models, and ab-initio calculations. Among the highlights are novel nano-crystalline forms of Silicon and Diamond, magnetic semiconductors, and, most recently, also materials for application in biology and medicine. View »
