Scientific research work of the Centre
Design of high-performance solar cells:
- сsolar cells on amorphous silicon with p-i-n structure,
- solar cells on a porous silicon;
Next generation lithium-ion batteries design:
Prototype | 
anode - multilayer SiOx |
- design the positive electrode based on vanadium pentoxide;

Study of morphology and phase composition transformation of nanoparticles from Vorotilovskay Deep Well, "nanobacteria" - like particles
Micrographs of calcium containing nanoparticles, mineral component of which at different stages of the compounds equals to:
а) Ca(S2O3) • 6H2O & Ca (S2O6) - 1 stage
b) CaCO3 - 2 stage (after 2 mounths)
c) CaSO4 - 3 stage (after 1 year)
d) diffraction pattern at the decoding stage - 4 stage (after 14 mounths)
Morphological studies of the atherosclerotic lesions and calcification of vessels evolution
a) lipid accumulation (Лп) in the intima of arteries and narrowing of the clearance (П) due to thickening of the wall due to the active formation of collagen fibers and loosening ;
б) the migration of monocytes/ leukocytes (Мц) in the endothelium (Эн) of artery to the future centre of inflammation;
в) smooth muscle cells (Гмк), migrated into the intima from medial layer of the artery, are cells synthesizing collagen protein;
г) foam cells (Пк) in the space markers vnutriintimalnom possible formation of atheromatous focus in the wall of the vessel;
д) atheromatous lesions are characterized by deposits of cholesterol crystals (X) and migration of macrophages in this area (Мф), thinning of the fibrous cap (Фп) atheromatous plaques on the hearth and its permeability to cellular elements, in particular erythrocytes (Э) indicates propensity to rupture the wall plaques;
е) red thrombus on damaged portions formed fibrous cap forms resulting to additional narrowing or occlusion of the clearance.
Morphology of coronary artery calcification:
а, в, д petrification extensive atherosclerotic plaques in the foci of fibrosis, inflammatory foci and areas of thrombus formation, respectively;
б, г, е respectively petrification peripheral zones containing micro-and nano-sized particles of hydroxyapatite.
П - vesse clearance, Фп - fibrous cap, Ка - calcification, Кв - collagen fibers, Х - cholesterol crystals, Т - thrombus, Э - erythrocyte, Фв - fiber fibrin clot.
