The field of scientific activities:


Investigation of the electron and phonon spectra, heat capacity, spectral densities of carbon nanostructures, thin film and nanostructures with local and extended defects:


-        analytically and numerically calculate the electron and phonon spectra of the studied carbon nanostructures;


-        study of the conditions of formation and characteristics of quasiparticle states localized near defects: impurities and boundaries of different dimensionality and chirality;


-        identify the conditions of stability of the studied structures, both ideal and those containing defects;


-        calculation and analysis of electron and phonon local spectral densities of defective atoms and atoms located near defects.


Investigation of the properties, structure and phase transformations in quasi-dimensional film and nanostructured systems with lattice inhomogeneities.


Structural states, properties and energy spectrum of quasi-dimensional systems with nanostructured lattice defects.
