The Center conducts work on the characterization (diagnostics) of various materials (semiconductors, metals, dielectrics, polymers, composites, fullerenes and fullerene-containing materials, biological objects, etc.).
The Center provides diagnostic support for federal, departmental, regional, and international innovation programs and projects carried out by research teams; diagnostic support for the development of high technologies and science-intensive production; student training, work with postgraduate and doctoral students, and the organization of advanced training courses for specialists using the latest analytical equipment.
The Center's instrumentation and methodological support allow for research into the physical properties of high-temperature plasma based on the Globus-M spherical tokamak.
The diagnostic complex of equipment and methodologies established and continuously developed at the Center provides qualitative and quantitative information on the elemental, chemical, and phase composition of materials in solid, liquid, and gaseous states, as well as on the actual crystal and electronic structure, type, concentration, and localization of defects, and the optical, electro-physical, mechanical, geometric, and other parameters and characteristics of a wide class of materials and solid-state structures, including low-dimensional ones.
