Description:
Research on advanced inorganic materials will focus on the development of novel and unconventional crystalline and amorphous materials for applications in optoelectronics, optics, and electronics. Particular attention will be paid to narrow-bandgap semiconductors, thermoelectric materials, amorphous and glassy inorganic systems based on chalcogenides, phosphates, and oxides, as well as materials for electronic memory devices based on phase-change phenomena and ionic conductivity. The research will also include inorganic materials functioning as homogeneous and supported catalysts, as well as cytostatic agents based on organometallic and coordination compounds. In the field of organometallic and coordination chemistry, studies in 2026 will continue to investigate the reactivity of unconventional organometallic compounds, with primary emphasis on their structural characterization and evaluation of their catalytic properties. Furthermore, new oxide glasses will be synthesized and their fundamental physical properties, chemical durability, thermal stability, and optical characteristics will be determined. Subsequently, relationships between chemical composition, structure, and physicochemical properties will be established. In the area of chalcogenide glasses, both in bulk form and as thin films, the research will focus on photoinduced changes and their potential applications. Attention will also be devoted to micro- and nanostructuring of chalcogenide glass thin films using optical and electron-beam lithography.
