The laboratory’s activities are aimed at developing the theory and methods of microwave diagnostics of materials, media and objects (including micro- and nanoscale), improving the theory and means of scanning microwave microscopy of conductors, semiconductors and dielectrics, creating receivers and converters for images of the IR and UV ranges, photoelectric converters for solar energy; study of quantum-dimensional structures.
Initiative research is being conducted and planned in the following areas: development and testing of methods for adaptive processing of information signals of scanning microwave microscopy (SMM), electrodynamics of SMM probe structures, study of modifying properties of highly localized (micro- and nanoscale) microwave exposure, properties of multilayer semiconductor quantum structures and superlattices, nanoelectronics of quantum-size structures, development of diagnostic tools for the state and life of biological objects based on the use of non-destructive microwave methods.
