NANOSTRUCTURES, NANOELECTRONICS AND NANOOPTICS:

- Development and fabrication of nanostructured multipurpose semiconductors and dielectric materials and structures on their basis;
- Fabrication and investigation of complex epitaxial nano-heterostructures on the basis of А3В5 semiconductors;
- Fabrication and investigation of magnetic semiconductor nanostructures for spintronics;
- Fabrication and investigation of challenging nanostructured materials for planar optics and optoelectronics.

Main results:

Development of technology and launch of small-scale production of powerful near IR range (? = 0.92 - 1.15 microns) laser diodes on the basis of heterostructures with InGaAs/GaAs quantum wells. Development and production of, a two-frequency laser intended for difference frequency generation in the mid-IR range (? = 8–12 microns) on the basis of InGaAs/GaAs/InGaP structures;
- Generation of GaMnAs and InMnAs epitaxial layers by laser sputtering of solid-state targets. For the first time, the presence of anomalous Hall effect with a hysteresis loop in InMnAs has been demonstrated in these structures at room temperature. The structures provide the basis for creating a new class of semiconductor devices with operating parameters controlled by magnetic field;
- Development of Schottky diodes on the basis of heteronanostructures with a built-in InGaAs/GaAs quantum well in the area of spatial charge of the Schottky barrier and an adjacent ? -layer of Mn. Such structures can provide the basis for a new type of light-emitting diodes with radiation parameters controlled by magnetic field.
