• Structure and properties of the crystals of neutral, ionic, and ion-radical molecular complexes. Organic conductors (superconductors), single-molecule magnets. Structural aspects of electronic states and phase transitions. X-ray diffraction studies and structural analysis at low temperatures and high pressures.
• Systematic analysis of complex structures of elements, binary systems of sp metals, metal Frank–Kasper phases, and quasicrystal approximants at normal and high pressure as a manifestation of electronic (Hume-Rothery) phases.
• Topology of defects in metals and semiconductors and its effect on the mechanical and physical properties of the materials. Atomic-level structural studies by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy combined with electron spectroscopy (EDXS and EELS).
• Structural characterization of new functional materials by X-ray diffraction and electron microscopy. Development of methodological capacities of X-ray diffraction and electron microscopy studies carried out at ISSP RAS.
