We are glad to announce that our group has grown: Iuliia Melchakova has joined us as a postdoc. Iuliia’s work is devoted to the theoretical study of spin-polarized materials for optics and photonics.
Nanomaterials have been used by humankind for a long time, long before the term «nanomaterials» became popular. These substances, whose sizes are measured in nanometers (1 nanometer = 10⁻⁹ meters), have unique physical, chemical and biological properties that their macroscopic counterparts lack. Modern nanomaterials research finds applications in medicine, energy, electronics and environmental technologies. Of particular interest is the development of spin nanomaterials that combine the principles of spintronics with optical phenomena, and this promising field is exactly where Iuliia will work.
