Laboratory of microwave discharge physics and carbon materials synthesis


ÐÓÑÑÊÈÉ

Microwave discharge physics laboratory was founded in 1995 and was renamed to laboratory of microwave discharge physics and carbon materials synthesis in 2009.

 Main research interests:

  • Physics of freely localized microwave discharge in wave beams
  • Microwave plasma assisted chemical vapour deposition of mono and polycrystalline diamond films
  • Development of high rate deposition of diamond films in high density plasma, created by microwave radiation in millimeter wave band
  • Investigation of physical properties of CVD diamond
  • Synthesis of semiconducting CVD diamond
  • Development of solid-state electronic, acoustoelectronic and optical devices based on diamond films
  • Laser cutting and mechanical processing (lapping and polishing) of diamond materials
  • Development of active microwave pulse compressors with distributed plasma switches
  • Investigation of conditions of multipactor discharge initiation and suppression on dielectric surfaces
