Igor Stolichnov
Biographie
Igor Stolichnov received his Master degree in solid state physics at Saint Petersburg State Polytechnical University in 1994. In 1996 he joined EPFL, where he was awarded PhD in 2000 for his work on ferroelectric non-volatile memories. Currently a senior scientist, member of staff of Nanoelectronic devices laboratory, EPFL. His scientific interests are focused on functional materials and their applications for information processing in energy-efficient circuitry, including ferroelectrics, dielectrics, multiferroics and phase-changing materials. He is active in development of advanced techniques of materials characterization at the nanometer scale, in particular in scanning probe microscopy. His researches that resulted in > 100 publications are focused on functional dielectrics/ferroics, and their integration on semiconductors and metals for applications in information processing and storage.Publications

Crystalline materials: structures and properties
Les propriétés des cristaux et céramiques incluant les phénomènes électriques, thermiques et électromécaniques sont étudiées en relation avec les structures, les défauts ponctuels et les phases. Les étudiants apprennent à analyser des propriétés basées sur la structure, la symétrie et les défauts.
Surface analysis
Le cours traite les méthodes majeures de l'analyse de surfaces, interfaces, et films minces. On discute comment ces méthodes peuvent être appliquées pour acquérir du savoir sur les propriétés structurales, chimiques, et fonctionnelles des surfaces et des films minces.
