The research activities of our group are focused on the use of magnetometric and photonic methods to investigate the properties of magnetic, semiconducting and biological materials. Specific areas of research are: Granular and artificially layered nanomagnetism in solids (semiconductors and biological materials). Magneto-optic and spintronic effects in semiconductors and at interfaces between semiconductors and metals. Infrared – FTIR – spectroscopy at low temperatures of semiconducting, magnetic and thermoelectric materials (polymers). Applications of FTIR spectroscopy for industrial infrared process control (pyrometry, inline process analytics, infrared depth profiling using spectral optical coherence tomography) Laser – optoacoustic methods for the investigation of opto- and magnetoacoustic effects in solids, as well as for the measurement of thermal, mechanical and optical material properties. Biophotonic applications of laser optoacoustics, such as the development of spectral optoacoustic imaging of biological tissue.
