Research

Dr. Tomas Salkus is working in the field of solid state ionics, mostly on impedance spectroscopy in the broad frequency range of 1 Hz to 10 GHz and high temperatures up to 1200 K. Currently he is a leader of the bilateral cooperation project between Vilnius University and ETH Zürich "Broadband impedance study of memristor oxide films".
