معرفی
Nikolaos Xanthopoulos is an Associate Professor in the Department of Physics at the University of Patras, specializing in Condensed Matter Physics. He holds a prominent position within the School of Sciences and focuses on advanced materials research, particularly in thin films and nanomaterials. His work emphasizes atomic layer deposition (ALD), semiconductor interfaces, and electrical conduction mechanisms.
Research interests include the synthesis and characterization of dielectric thin films (Al₂O₃, Ta₂O₅, ZrO₂), nanoparticle core/shell architectures, and their applications in electronics. He has extensively studied Ge/Si substrate interactions, plasma-synthesized nanoparticles, and XPS analysis for surface characterization.
Publications span 1990–2022, with recent work focusing on graphene-based inkjet-printed heaters and ALD-grown thin films. His 2022 paper introduced flexible heaters using graphene inks, showcasing innovation in nanomaterial applications. Earlier contributions explored ALD process parameters for Ge substrates and nanocrystalline alumina thin films.
No scientific awards are explicitly listed. Teaching responsibilities include physics laboratory courses (Mechanics, Fluid Mechanics, Demonstration Experiments) across multiple semesters. His research infrastructure leverages advanced characterization techniques like impedance spectroscopy and XPS.
Laboratory affiliations include the Condensed Matter Physics Department at the University of Patras, with access to state-of-the-art materials characterization facilities.
