Zoltán ERDÉLYI is the head of the Department of Solid State Physics at the University of Debrecen (Hungary).
He graduated at the University of Lajos Kossuth (Debrecen, Hungary) in 1998. In 2001, he received his PhD in Materials Science from the University of Aix-Merseille III. In 2002, he received his second PhD degree in Physics specialized to Solid State Physics from the University of Debrecen. In 2010, he obtained his Habilitation in Physics from the University of Debrecen (Hungary). He is the (co-)author of more than 100 scientific publications including book chapters and high ranked journals, such as SCIENCE, Phys. Rev. Lett., Acta Mat., Appl. Phys. Lett., Phys. Rev. B (Curriculum Vitae)
His research field has been focusing mainly on interface related phenomena in nano-materials, such as multilayers and thin films. His work includes theoretical, computer simulation and experimental activities. At the beginning of his carrier he worked on diffusion and surface segregation. Then he gradually turned towards reactive-diffusion, i.e. solid state reaction. Now, he still works on reactive-diffusion in materials of high industrial potential and not only in planar but curved (spherical and cylindrical) geometries. Meantime, an Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) reactor has been installed in his laboratory and on the basis of this technique he is building up a new field which is expected to be even closer to applications.
