معرفی
Sergei Vlassov is an Associate Professor at the Institute of Physics, University of Tartu, where he has been working since January 2009. His research focuses on nanomaterials, particularly nanowires and nanoparticles, with expertise in scanning electron microscopy, mechanical properties characterization, tribology, and nanoscale manipulation techniques.
Professor Vlassov's research interests span a wide range of nanomaterials topics. He investigates the mechanical properties of nanowires, particularly their elastic and plastic behavior under various conditions. His work includes in situ manipulation of nanostructures inside scanning electron microscopes for tribological measurements, synthesis of core-shell nanostructures, and development of computational tools for nanomaterials analysis. He has made significant contributions to understanding heat-induced morphological changes in nanowires, friction at the nanoscale, and mechanical properties of various semiconductor nanowires.
His extensive publication record of 99 papers with 1,395 citations demonstrates his active research program. Recent work shows continued focus on nanowire mechanics and characterization, with increasing emphasis on computational analysis tools (like Nano1D), synthesis of complex core-shell structures, and applications in electronics and energy conversion. His research often involves interdisciplinary approaches combining materials synthesis, mechanical testing, and computational modeling.
