Welcome to PLATAN

Andrei Choukourov’s group of
PLAsma-TAilored Nanomaterials

Our international group performs research in various areas of science, including but not limited to:

• – thin film deposition and nanoparticle (NP) formation under vacuum and low-temperature plasma conditions;
• – resistive switching in nanofluids for neuromorphic applications;
• – hybrid nanomaterials for laser-driven ion acceleration and proton-boron fusion;
• – NP-assembled mesoporous coatings for photoelectrochemical water splitting;
• – plasmonic and photoluminescent metal/semiconductor nanoparticles;
• – optically active nanofluids;
• – nanomaterials with regenerative and antimicrobial activity for wound healing;
• – phase separation and nanoconfinement in homo- and copolymer thin films;
• – solution plasma processing of natural polymers;
• – plasma agriculture.
