Analytical and Technological Research Center “High Technologies & Nanostructured Materials”: History, Formation and Achieved Results

The article provides information about the history of formation, development, main recent activities and achieved results of the Analytical and Technological Research Center of the Faculty of Physics of Novosibirsk State University (ATRC NSU) during its 15 years of operation. The main areas of physical research are: modern materials science, nanomaterials, nanotechnologies and technological processes, experimental diagnostics of structures and substances, development of methods for nanostructures fabrication, computer simulation of low-dimensional structures, improvement of the characteristics of solid-state semiconductor electronics, search for materials for storage and transfer of digital information, study of technological properties of low-dimensional semiconductors, catalysts, metamaterials and organic optoelectronics, study of materials and systems for terahertz electronics. Due to the organization of the Shared Research Facilities “High Technologies and Analytics of Nanosystems” (CCU “VTAN”) within the structure, ATRC successfully cooperates with scientific and educational organizations and with industrial companies of the real sector of the economy in the Siberian region, Russia and neighboring countries. The main part of scientific research is carried out by the staff of the youth Laboratory of Functional Diagnostics of Nanoscale Systems for Nanoelectronics (LabFDNS) that contributes to the involvement of students and young employees of NSU into the implementation of relevant in-demand research work, and thus provides them with a high level of training in their chosen specialty.
