Research supervisor:
Sergey Nikitov
PhD, DSc

Supervisor’s research interests:
Theoretical and experimental study of mechanisms of electric current, mechanical stresses and electric potential influences on physical properties of conducting and dielectric ferroand antiferromagnetic heterostructures having eigenfrequencies in the microwave and terahertz frequency range, to investigate nonequilibrium processes in these structures, and to develop concepts of signal processing and logic devices based on antiferromagnets, magnonic networks and nanoelements under the influence of Dzyaloshinskii- Moriya interaction in the microwave and terahertz frequency regime.
