Ion beam technologies

  • Exposed parts in the automotive and engineering industries (injectors, camshafts, valves, bearings, etc.);
  • Medical and biological applications (prosthesis of materials with originally insufficient abrasion-resistance);
  • Surface nitration of stainless steels by ion implantation with the aim to improve their abrasion-resistance while attaining high corrosion-resistance;
  • “Stents” (endoluminal blood vessel prostheses), nonporous stents for additionally controlled dosage of drugs, biocompatible and blood-compatible materials, etc., for modern medicine;
  • Other options of ion implantation in the areas other than microelectronics, such as the precise mechanics, special construction of expensive watches;
  • Protection against high-temperature oxidation (TiAl alloys, turbine constructions);
  • Plastics injection into moulds (safety improvement in the removal of parts produced by injecting into the mould, as well as abrasion-protection for highly stressed parts for moulding tools);
  • Ion implantation of surface of certain polymers for improving the surface properties, such as electrical conductivity, biocompatibility, etc.

Plasma technologies

  • Automotive industry: Tribology coatings for car engines and surface treatment of components in order to attain higher efficiency and lower environmental load.
  • Electronics: Transparent conductive layers with improved optical and electric properties.
  • Machine and aviation industry: Surfaces with enhanced wear resistance and thermal stability.
  • Biomedicine: Implants with higher degree of biocompatibility.

Plasma-immersion ion implantation

  • Doping of silicon by phosphorus and boron by means of the PBII methods for photovoltaic cells
  • Super hard surfaces: nitride layers of boron and titanium
  • Surface protection of titanium and TiAl alloys: TiAl protection from high-temperature oxidation and progressive coatings for Ti and TiAl alloys
  • Biomaterials: nonporous metal materials, tribology protective coatings, antibacterial surfaces, biocompatible surfaces and barrier layers

  • Nitration of stainless steel and aluminium

Astrophysics

  • Fast stochastic variability (red noise) of accretion processes in the binary stars and active galactic nuclei
  • Data analysis from Kepler, TESS, XMM-Newton, Chandra, Swift and Nicer observations.
  • Timing analysis of short satellite observations of novae during SSS phase. Is the frequency stable or variable?

Satellite observations of Earth

  • Vegetation monitoring via NDVI.
  • City monitoring and search for vulnerable regions due to climate change.
