Throughout his career, Professor Solin's research focus has been on fundamental physical phenomena in ordered and disordered solids.
Solin's interests and research activities include X-ray physics, high-pressure physics, mesoscopic/nanoscopic physics, phase transformations, metal-insulator transitions, 2D and 3D magnetism, order-disorder phenomena, semiconductor superlattices, hot carrier effects, layered intercalation compounds, finite crystal size effects, electron energy loss spectroscopy, field-emission analytical electron microscopy, time resolved femtosecond luminescense and Raman scattering spectroscopy, linear and nonlinear magnetotransport and Extraordinary Magnetoresistance (EMR) in mesoscopic and macroscopic systems.
