Summary: Research in theoretical solid state physics. Surface physics, in particular the interaction of atoms and molecules with surfaces, including scattering, chemisorption, energy and charge transfer. Electromagnetic properties,optical properties and spectroscopy of thin films and multilayer structures. The influence of impurities on photosensitive properties of semiconductor films. Electrical properties of solid electrolytes. Study of low-dimensional and strongly correlated systems, such as magnetic impurities in metals, high-temperature superconductors, quantum Hall effect. Electronic structure and spectroscopy of atoms, with application to solids.

Keywords: theoretical solid state physics, surface physics, chemisorption, atom scattering from surfaces, thin films, surface polaritons, optical processes and spectroscopy, strongly correlated electron systems, Kondo effect, quantum Hall effect, high-temperature superconductors, electronic structure of atoms, photoemission

Research goals: The aims of the project is the research in the theoretical solid state physics, in particular in some selected fields. In surface physics, the properties of clean surfaces and the elementary processes in the scattering and chemisorption of atoms and molecules on surfaces are studied. These include charge and energy transfer between atoms and surfaces, and vibrations of adsorbates. The research in this field is important for the understanding of physical and chemical reactions on surfaces. Another important topic are the strongly correlated systems, with application to magnetic (Kondo) impurities in metals, high-temperature superconductors and some other phenomena. The theory of electromagnetic properties of thin films, cavities and structures is applied to various processes of scattering and absorption of light, nonlinear effects, spontaneous emission, etc. The influence of impurities on photosensitive properties of semiconductor films has been investigated.
