Laboratory of Materials for Photovoltaics and Photonics

 

Research activities

  • Experimental and theoretic investigations of physical and physico-chemical properties of semiconductor crystalline and non-crystalline materials, as well as compounds from environmental friendly and abundant chemical elements.
  • Development of advanced and low-cost technologies for obtaining of the mentioned materials and multifunctional photovoltaic and photonic devices on their bases.
  • Involvement in National Program for valorization of renewable energy sources by studying the solar irradiation and optical properties of variability of atmospheric aerosols in an urban environment (mun. Chisinau), as well as by designing of new simple and efficient technologies for obtaining functional photovoltaic elements.
  • Design of new technologies for obtaining of multilayered nanostructures of chalcogenide glasses with different composition and azopolymer structures as well as investigation of their optical properties. Research of new carbazol and non-carbazol layers of azopolymers with possibility of direct recording of optical diffraction elements.
