Abstract
The possibility of controlling the functional properties of nanostructured thin films deposited on solid substrates using lasers stems from the different topology and elemental composition of the deposited materials. Quantum-correlated states that emerge in the deposited granular nanocluster semiconductor/ metal structures lead to hopping/tunneling conductivity. The possibility of high-temperature superconductivity in such nanocluster structures that are both stable and can give rise to different (nonphonon) electron pairing mechanisms is discussed. An increase in electrical conductivity (by several orders of magnitude) is observed in experiments, depending on the surface and boundary conditions in various topologically organized cluster systems. The problem is to find the optimum numerical relations between the topological parameters in order to obtain the patterns of directivity (such as the Bragg resonance) needed for a sharp increase in electrical conductivity in selective directions.
