The main objectives of the projects were:

1. Investigation of the properties of absorbing materials from the series Cu₂Zn(Sn,Si,Ge)(S,Se)₄ and of other chalcogenide materials, perspective for thin film solar cells, with cheap, earth abundant and non-toxic materials, which will influence positive to the alternative energy production. Analysis of the influence of optical properties of atmosphere to the solar irradiation incident on the terrestrial surface.
2. Elaboration of the advanced multifunctional structures for the optoelectronic application, investigation and development of optical diffraction elements (ODE) on the nanoscale multilayer structures from chalcogenide glasses (CG) and layers of azopolymers (AZP), extension of the existing registration methods with laser/electron beam, development of the ODE design on the basis of systematic study of CG and AZP structures.

Implementation of the project was finalized by relevant results of important properties of the materials, which could be used in sensors, recording mediums, optoelectronic and photovoltaic devices.

The modern methods, which are usually applied in a major part of world scientific centers, were used for the achievement of the proposed goals of obtaining of study objects and of their investigation.
