HEAD OF DIVISION

In my professional work, I deal with the modification and characterization of crystalline surfaces and thin layers. Characterization is performed using microscopic techniques with a scanning probe (SPM), in particular ultra high vacuum scanning tunneling microscopy (UHV STM). I also deal with structuring processes, mainly with layered materials and thin semiconductor layers.

SCIENTIFIC STAFF

I deal with the issues of surface physics, production, and characterization of the physical properties of nanostructures using the methods of scanning microscopy and sample spectroscopy (STM / S and AFM). Research, in general, is related to the applications of systems mentioned above in nanoscience and nanotechnology.

I deal with the production and characterization of thin-film semiconductor compounds and modern 2D structures. I study their electrical properties for application in simple electronic devices such as magnetic field sensors. I am interested in developing and modifying the construction of sensors to adapt them to work in an extremely difficult environment.

My main research tool is low-temperature scanning microscopy and tunneling spectroscopy. I select the tested systems and systems in terms of current and important applications for the development of nanoelectronics, e.g. 2D layered materials from the TMD group, or 2D surface alloys of rare earth metals with precious metals.

I am involved in the production of two-dimensional surface alloys of rare earth metals with platinum on the surface of a single crystal of platinum and the study of their structural, electronic, and magnetic properties on the atomic scale. Two-dimensional surface alloys are an interesting group of materials that can be used as a substrate in spintronics or molecular electronics.

PHD STUDENTS

I focus on the analysis of the electrical properties of layered materials such as Dichalkogenki of Transition Metals. In addition, he deals with the procedures for structuring these materials along with their full characterization, using for this purpose the Hall effect and TLM measurements, AFM microscopy, and the Raman scattering phenomenon.
