Application of the optically active coatings to plasmonic devices.
The incorporated nanostructured super-thin gold layer serves not only as a crystallization promotor but also as a light scattering element due to localized surface plasmons.
Master Thesis:
Indium oxide electrodes for plasmonic thin-film devices
Growth of nanocrystalline indium oxide films by gold induced crystallization
Study of the film structure and morphology using XRD, SEM, and AFM techniques. The electrical and optical properties will be determined from the Hall effect and R&T measurements.

Starting from the fundaments of Quantum Mechanics for
electrons in materials, it is possible to build simpler methods that
keep the essence of the Physics as a starting point for Statistical
Physics models to reveal the emergent properties of materials
and the transitions between their phases.
In this course you will study:
- The properties of electrons in materials
- Formation of bands in crystals
- Effects of electron-electron interaction
- The role of symmetry
- The role of the thermodynamic limit
- Scaling laws and critical exponents
- Model systems and their ordered phases
- Renormalization group ideas
