My scientific interests focus on investigations of different type of materials by means of Positron Annihilation Lifetime Spectrometry, Moessbauer Spectroscopy, Neutron and X-ray Diffraction, Scanning Electron Microscopy and X-ray Microanalysis. The scope of investigated materials includes: nanocomposites, metals and alloys modified in surface and subsurface layers as well as semiconductor materials applied in photovoltaics. The following list summarises some representative papers over the last seven years.
