About Us

Main topics of interest:

– Basic phenomena and pathway of the formation of composite thin films.
– Engineering and characterization of nanocomposite thin films and CNx structures.
– Application of basic knowledge in nano-engineering of wear-resistant and self-lubricating coatings.
– Wide-band semiconductors (GaN, AlN, SiC).
– Interaction of fast (0.1 – 10 keV) ions with material and its application in developing instruments and methods for TEM sample preparation, in-depth chemical analysis and nano-processing.
– Quantitative phase analysis and structure refinement based on electron diffraction from nano-powders in the TEM.
