Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Sergei Prokhorenko's research focuses on the study of topological phases and phase transitions in polar oxide nanostructures, with a particular emphasis on ferroelectric materials like bismuth ferrite and lead titanate. His work investigates the creation and manipulation of exotic electronic and magnetic structures, such as skyrmions and solitons, within these materials at the nanoscale. Prokhorenko has published research on integrating switchable polar nanodomains onto silicon, exploring topological phases in polar oxide nanostructures, and detailing hexagonal close-packed polar-skyrmion lattices in ultrathin ferroelectric PbTiO3 films. He has also examined ferroelectric phase-transition frustration near tricritical compositions, spherical ferroelectric solitons, freestanding ferroelectric bubble domains, and the dynamical control of topology in polar skyrmions using twisted light.

His scholarship metrics include an h-index of 26, with 96 total publications and 3,768 total citations. Prokhorenko has a notable collaboration history with researchers at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, including Yousra Nahas (49 shared publications) and Laurent Bellaiche (20 shared publications). His recent activity indicates ongoing contributions to the field.
