Previous and Current Research

The research topics of the research group cover a wide range from fundamental topics like oxides interaction within the molten salts media and crystallization peculiarities of functional oxide materials. The main focus is devoted to correlation between composition and structure of different complex oxide materials with physico-chemical properties including non-linear optic response, luminescence intensity, bioactivity, catalytic performance (Figure 1). He published more than 450 original papers and review articles, 10 patents and 21 school books . He has been a superviser of postgraduate research for Chemistry theses for 4 Doctors of Sciences and 18 Candidates of Sciences (Ph D).

Current research interests are focused on

  •  Synthesis and functionalization of oxide materials with non-linear optic response, high luminescence intensity (in close collaboration with physicians), bioactivity and high catalytic performance.
  •  Development and application of solid state matter: single crystals, ceramics, nanopowders and composites;
  •  Crystallization peculiarities of complex oxides,
  •  Crystal structure and reactivity of solids.
