General information
Our studies are mostly concentrated on structural, electronic, spin and topological properties of semiconductor nanostructures.
In particular:
- III-V and VI-VI quantum nanowires and 2dim quantum wells
- II-VI/IV-VI nanostructures and mixed crystals
- IV-VI topological crystalline semiconductors
- Electronic topological properties of thin films, quantum wells and nanowires
- Topological properties of defects
- GaAs/GaAlAs two dimensional heterostructures and quantum dots
- Two dimensional heterostructures and nanowires of diluted magnetic semiconductors
- Dynamics of growth processes and surface pattern formation
- Surface and interface diffusion
