Professor Mikhail Katsnelson is an expert in theoretical solid state physics, focusing on many-body quantum physics. His significant contributions include the development of theories regarding exchange interactions in crystals and molecules, along with the electronic properties of magnetic metals, semiconductors, half-metal ferromagnets, and the electronic structures of molecular magnets. His theoretical research supports the interpretation of measurements acquired through scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and angle-resolved photoemission (ARPES) spectroscopic methods. Katsnelson is distinguished for pioneering research into graphene, which consists of one-atom thick sheets of carbon, establishing its role in demonstrating that the half-integer quantum Hall effect occurs in this material. The exceptional properties of graphene make it a prime candidate for various nanotechnological applications. Additionally, he is a co-author of the monograph 'Quantum Solid State Physics' with S.V. Vonsovsky.
