Synthesis and characterization of nanomaterials

Team focus

The research team designs, prepares, and characterizes semiconductor materials and nanostructures, with a focus on advancing the understanding of growth mechanisms, the development of new growth methods, and the elucidation of electrical and optical phenomena taking place at their surfaces and interfaces. This research provides the basis for the development of novel electronic and optoelectronic devices, including light sources and detectors, gas sensors, and sources of green energy.

Research projects

• Nanostructured heterojunctions for chemiresistors
• Growth mechanisms of solution-grown one-dimensional semiconductor structures on patterned substrates
• Glasses transmitting infrared radiation based on heavy metal oxides
• Study of the optoelectronic properties of hybrid heterojunction
