SCIENTIFIC PROGRAMS

will be held in two directions: thin film technologies for electronics, diamond films and films of related materials.

Thin Film Technologies
Thin films

vacuum methods for obtaining thin films, including organic films;
multi-layered films;
growth mechanism and structure of thin films;
phase boundary structure of thin films;
physical and mechanical properties of thin films.

Nanotechnology

nanodimensional films, nanostructures, quasi-crystallic films;
obtaining surfaces with prescribed structure;
investigation into properties of gas-stream producted clusters.

Diamond Films and Films of Related Materials
Deposition and growth of thin diamond films and films of related materials (diamond-like, fulleren, diamond-like nitride films, etc.)

high- and low-pressure synthesis, including micro-wave, radio frequency, plasma-torch, hot-filament, flame-burning, CVD, PVD, laser-inducted deposition, modification processes of thin film materials (surfaces), hybrid processes;
simulation of growth mechanism .

Doping, modification and processing of films

investigation of natural, synthetic and CVD diamond by means of optical absorption, luminescence methods, Raman spectroscopy, electron and X-ray diffraction and topography, electron spin resonance, EELS, TEM;
