Main research directions

• Investigation of the formation processes of the ordered nanostructures and low-dimensional structures on semiconductor surfaces.
• Determination of the electrical characteristics and other physical properties of the grown nanostructures.
• Theoretical simulations of the structure and properties of the nanostructures.

Principal results

• Using self-assembly processes, ordered arrays of identical-size nanoclusters (magic clusters) were formed.
• Ordered nanostructures built of beryllium-doped silicon nanotubes were formed.
• Effect of structural parameters on conductivity of the surface phases formed by metal adsorbates on silicon was determined.
