THIN FILMS, SUPERLAYERS , QUANTUM DOTS AND NANOWIRES

Prof. D. Malinovska - Thematic Leader

By reducing the size to the nano metric region, the general properties of the parent bulk material can be drastically changed extending applications of thin films and multilayer nanosystems as: sensors, memory devices, membranes, solar cells, photoresists.

 Key topics are related to nanoscale phenomena in thin film media:  

  • Thin films with semiconductor nano-clusters (1, 2, 3)
  • Dielectric thin films with metal nano-clusters (1. 2)
  • Multilayer nano-systems (1)
  • Thin films with semiconductor nanowires (2,3.7)
  • Polymer thin films (2,8)
  • Optical filters and wave guides (1,4,6)
  • Chemical and gas sensors (1, 2, 3, 7)
  • Light emitting diodes (1, 2, 3)
  • Magnetic, magnetooptics materials and memory devices (1, 3)
  • Solar cells (3)
  • Biosensors and biocrystallization (1,5)
