Prof. A.M. Shikin (St. Petersburg State University,
Russia) Official website of
laboratory: http://spin.lab.spbu.ru/ Location: V. A. Fock Institute of Physics of St. Petersburg State
University, room M439-442, tel: +7(812)428-43-67 Laboratory of electronic
and spin structure of nanosystems under the
leadership of Prof. E.V. Chulkov (University of the
Basque Country, Spain) was found in 2015 year and funded by St. Petersburg
State University. Laboratory efficiently
combine work on the most promising materials for use in the rapidly
developing high technology areas of modern industry spintronics
and nanoelectronics simultaneously in three
essential areas: (a) study the features of the electronic and spin structure
of highly prospective complex quantum nanosystems
with enhanced spin-orbit and exchange interaction, both by experimental and
theoretical methods, (b) the development and use of direct methods for the
extra high vacuum synthesis of studying nanosystems
during the experiment and controlled changes of parameters of synthesis in
dependence on the desired features of the electronic and spin structure (c)
analysis of the possibilities of using the studied systems and their
combinations in spintronics with possibility of
direct synthesis and study of functional models of the active elements for
new generation of spintronic and nanoelectronics devices. Directly in the framework of the
project the investigations will be carried out in the following areas: 1. Spin-dependent photoemission and transport in topological
insulators. 2. Spin-dependent phenomena in graphene-like
systems. 3. Spin-dependent phenomena and transport in the Rashba systems with enhanced spin-orbit interaction. 4. Study of heterostructures based on
combinations of graphene/topological insulators, graphene/ systems with giant Rashba
splitting. The high level and quality
of the proposed studies is additionally supported by the use of the modern
equipment available at the resource center of Researcher Park SPbSU "Physical Methods of Surface
Investigation", Russian-German laboratory at BESSY II (Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin) and other resources of European light
sources. Experimental
investigations (ARPES, XPS, Spin-resolved PES, Kerr effect, AFM, STM, LEED). Theoretical investigations
(Ab initio methods of quantum band theory of solids
within the DFT, the pseudopotential method and the
method of linearized augmented plane wave) Synthesis and
electro-physical investigations (Bridgman method, CVD, MBE) |
