Laboratory of Solid State Physics

Laboratory of Solid State Physics was founded in 2005. It has been operating as part of the YSU Research Institute of Physics since the establishment of the institute.

The main goals of the laboratory activity are:

1. investigate the physical properties of micrometer and nanometer-sized crystalline materials and various systems created on their basis by applying experimental and theoretical methods (solid state and semiconductor heterostructures, one-dimensional, two-dimensional and zero-dimensional quantum structures, normal and high-temperature superconducting materials, magnetic alloys),
2. to develop experimental and theoretical methods for studying the above systems.

The main research fields of the Laboratory of Solid State Physics

1. X-ray studies: material science 

• Creation of new X-ray interferometers, study of their properties
• X-Ray Diffraction
• Structural analysis and X-ray defectoscopy
• Solving problems of diffraction theory, X-ray holography and X-ray microscopy
• Obtaining nanoparticles, studying their physicochemical properties
• High-temperature and high-pressure synthesis of metal composite shells

2. Theoretical studies of low-dimensional systems

• Calculations of the physical properties of quantum layers, wires, rings, dots and their quasi-particle complexes, the effect of electric, magnetic, laser and deformation fields on them
• Studies of photovoltaic properties

3. Low-temperature research, scientific instrumentation, magnetic research

• Experimental study of superconductivity
• Design, modeling and creation of new types of physical and biomedical equipment
• Experimental study of thermal properties of rare earth alloys
