In order to govern the research efficiently, the department is divided into following laboratories:
 | Group of Plasma Physics and Numerical Simulations |
|---|
| is devoted to study of low temperature plasma from point of view of elementary processes and transport phenomena with accent on the diagnostic methods and applications. |
 |
Group of Surfaces and Thin Films |
|---|
| focuses on the study of surfaces and thin films of solid materials and their properties. |
 | Space Physics Laboratory |
|---|
| is oriented on experimental and theoretical investigations of the solar wind plasma and its interaction with the Earth's magnetic field. These investigations are connected with a development of new measuring methods and experiments for space observations and with laboratory simulations of processes in the space. |
 | Vacuum Physics Laboratory |
|---|
| is focussed on the research of processes in volume and on surface of the vacuum systems and is concerned with problems of the low-pressure metrology. |
 | Nanomaterials Laboratory |
|---|
| focuses on the investigation of surfaces of solids and on the applied research of the outcoming functional materials. The SPL-MSB group also provides open access to their scientific instruments as a part of the European research infrastructure CERIC-ERIC. |
