Introduction
Field of interest:
Preparation of inorganic and dielectric materials (crystals, glasses),
crystal growth of materials from melt by Bridgman
and micro-pulling-down methods, materials characterization of
thermal, structural, luminescence, and scintillation properties.
Research activities:
Preparation of new inorganic materials based on halide crystals and
phosphate glasses for radiation detectors and lasers, their purification
(by means of physical and chemical methods) and growth of their single
crystals by the vertical Bridgman and micro - pulling - down methods.
Study of structural, physical, optical, luminescence, and scintillation
properties of prepared materials. Measurement of their thermal properties
using methods of thermal analyse s . Study of vertical Bridgman crystal
growth on a model system by developing new res earch methods and
approaches. Processing and evaluation of experimentally obtained results, their
physical interpretation using literature search, and publication activity
(papers in international impacted journals). Presenting obtained results at
internat ional conferences and workshops.
