Experimental and theoretical studies of spectral properties of chalcogenide Ge-S and As-Ge-S glasses and fibers are performed. A broad infrared (IR) luminescence band which covers the 1.2-2.3~$mu$m range with a lifetime about 6~$mu$s is discovered. Similar luminescence is also present in optical fibers drawn from these glasses. Arsenic addition to Ge-S glass significantly enhances both its resistance to crystallization and the intensity of the luminescence. Computer modeling of Bi-related centers shows that interstitial Bi$^+$ ions adjacent to negatively charged S vacancies are most likely responsible for the IR luminescence.

Subvalent bismuth centers (interstitial $Bi^{+}$ ion, Bi$_5^{3+}$ cluster ion, and Bi$_4^0$ cluster) are examined as possible centers of broadband near-IR luminescence in bismuth-doped solids on the grounds of quantum-chemical modeling and experimental data.
A comparative first-principles study of possible bismuth-related centers in TlCl and CsI crystals is performed and the results of computer modeling are compared with the experimental data. The calculated spectral properties of the bismuth centers sug gest that the IR luminescence observed in TlCl:Bi is most likely caused by Bi--Vac(Cl) centers (Bi^+ ion in thallium site and a negatively charged chlorine vacancy in the nearest anion site). On the contrary, Bi^+ substitutional ions and Bi_2^+ dimers are most likely responsible for the IR luminescence observed in CsI:Bi.
The results of studies of melting and crystallization processes in Bi-Ge layered film system are presented. These systems were prepared by subsequent condensation of components in vacuum. It has been shown that the melting temperature in system under study decreases with the decrease of Bi film thickness. The differential technique used for melting temperature registration enables us to measure the value of eutectic temperature $T_epsilon$ = 542 K in the system. The values of supercooling upon crystallization ($Delta T$ = 93 K) and wetting angle ($theta = 68^circ$) have been determined for Bi islands on amorphous Ge substrate.

Mn doping of group-IV semiconductors (Si/Ge) is achieved by embedding a thin Mn-film as a {delta}-doped layer in group-IV matrix. The Mn-layer consists of a dense layer of monoatomic Mn-wires, which are oriented perpendicular to the Si(001)-(2x1) dim er rows, or Mn-clusters. The nanostructures are covered with an amorphous Si or Ge capping layer, which conserves the identity of the {delta}-doped layer. The analysis of the bonding environment with STM is combined with the element-specific detection of the magnetic signature with X-ray magnetic circular dichroism. The largest moment (2.5 {mu}B/Mn) is measured for Mn-wires, which have ionic bonding character, with an a-Ge overlayer cap, a-Si capping leads to a slightly reduced moment which has its origin in subtle variation of bonding geometry. Our results directly confirm theoretical predictions on magnetism for Mn-adatoms on Si(001). The moment is quenched to 0.5{mu}B/Mn for {delta}-doped layers, which are dominated by clusters, and thus develop an antiferromagnetic component from Mn-Mn bonding.
Issues of Ge hut array formation and growth at low temperatures on the Ge/Si(001) wetting layer are discussed on the basis of explorations performed by high resolution STM and in-situ RHEED. Data of HRTEM studies of multilayer Ge/Si heterostructures are presented with the focus on low-temperature formation of perfect films. Heteroepitaxial Si p-i-n-diodes with multilayer stacks of Ge/Si(001) quantum dot dense arrays built in intrinsic domains have been investigated and found to exhibit the photo-emf in a wide spectral range from 0.8 to 5 mcm. An effect of wide-band irradiation by infrared light on the photo-emf spectra has been observed. Photo-emf in different spectral ranges has been found to be differently affected by the wide-band irradiation. A significant increase in photo-emf is observed in the fundamental absorption range under the wide-band irradiation. The observed phenomena are explained in terms of positive and neutral charge states of the quantum dot layers and the Coulomb potential of the quantum dot ensemble. By using a coherent source spectrometer, first measurements of terahertz dynamical conductivity (absorptivity) spectra of Ge/Si(001) heterostructures were performed at frequencies 0.3-1.2 THz in the temperature interval from 300 to 5 K. The effective dynamical conductivity of the heterostructures with Ge quantum dots has been discovered to be significantly higher than that of the structure with the same amount of bulk germanium (not organized in an array of quantum dots). The excess conductivity is not observed in the structures with the Ge coverage less than 8 AA. When a Ge/Si(001) sample is cooled down the conductivity decreases. We discuss possible mechanisms that can be responsible for the observed effects.
