Pavels Onufrijevs

Dr Pavels Onufrijevs is a leading researcher of the Institute of Technical Physics at Riga Technical University (RTU). He is working for more than 15 years in the Research Laboratory of Semiconductor Physics in the areas of laser processing of semiconductors, metals, nano-electronics, and optoelectronics. He is an expert in interaction of powerful laser radiation with semiconductor materials, such as CdTe, CdZnTe, Si, Ge, SiGe, GeSn, GaAs, TiO2, ZnO, InGaN, SnS and SiC. The recent topics of investigation are connected mainly with the improvement of quality and phase transitions in semiconductors, such as TiO2, CdS, InGaN, ZnO, CdZnTe and overcoming the equilibrium solubility of Sn atoms in Ge. He has a wide experience in cooperative researches with research institutes abroad (Japan, Taiwan, Spain, UK, Germany, Ukraine, Lithuania and Estonia).
