Abstract

A new team of scientists is formed in the Institute of Solid State Physics, University of Latvia by involving (and attracting new) researchers in total 14.95 PPY. The goal of a project is nanomaterials development and research for energy-effective applications on basis of semiconductor nano-wires and nano-crystals, luminescent, sensor, perovskite structure and conducting oxide nano-systems, as well as catalysts and radiation resistant materials. This is an interdisciplinary project which requires combined physical, chemical and material science approach.
In the frame of a project we collaborate both with universities (e.g., University of Osnabrück) and research centers (e.g., Forshungscentrum Karlsruhe IMF-I).
