Thin Films Group, Department of Surface and Plasma Science

Growth of thin films, Surface atomic structure, Scanning Tunneling Microscopy, Atomic Force Microscopy, Polarons, Charge dynamics in semicodnuctors

We study processess at surfaces at the atomic scale. The research has several directions, such as chemical reactions at the atomic scale or growth of thin films with various properties. Recently, the main focus is on charges self-trapped in ionic lattices (polarons), their dynamics and interaction with defects.
