Profile

Text
  • Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) reflectivity and transmission spectroscopy in a wide temperature range (10-900 K),  occasionally  complemented by the time-domain terahertz transmission (TDTT)  technique.
  • Quantitative analysis of the vibrational spectra, lattice dynamics and dielectric dispersion. Special attention is paid to the structural phase transitions and soft mode dynamics.
  • The research is focused on ferroelectric, antiferroelectric, incipient ferroelectric materials and microwave dielectrics. Coworking includes the study of the bound water dynamics and other polar matters.
  • Effective dielectric response of inhomogeneous media. Specification of the grain boundaries role in the polycrystalline materials and mechanical stress in thin films.
