Scientific Interests

Prof. Kossacki’s main research interests are related to excitons and charged excitons in 2D systems such as semiconductor quantum wells and layered materials (TMDs), as well as magnetospectroscopy of II-VI quantum wells, quantum dots (QD), and nanostructures with diluted magnetic semiconductors, in particular QDs with individual magnetic ions. He studied magneto-Raman in graphene and magnetospectroscopy of TMD materials (including contribution to the discovery of single-photon sources in WSe2). He initiated ultrafast magnetospectroscopy at the University of Warsaw, measurements in nanosecond pulsed magnetic field, manipulation of single magnetic ion in semiconductor quantum dots and the first demonstration of the coherent precession of an individual Mn spin in the QD. He has also experience in time-resolved spectroscopy of intervalley relaxation of bright and dark excitons in TMDs.

He is a co-author of more than 200 peer-reviewed papers and one book chapter. He is currently a referee in more than 6 journals including Nature Nanotechnology, Nature Materials, Nature Communications and Physical Review Letters. He is a scientific expert for various National Research Agencies (in Poland, Germany and France). He was Chairman of the International School and Conference on the Physics of Semiconductors “Jaszowiec” in Krynica 2012, a member of the program committee of the 20th International Conference on “High Magnetic Fields in Semiconductor Physics”, (HMF-20, in Chamonix Mont-Blanc, France 2012), member of the international advisory committee of the International Conference on II-VI Compounds (since 2013). He was president of the Polish Physics Olympiad (2011-2019) and a member of the Polish Physical Society.
