The impetuous development of the laser- and nano-technologies plays a significant role in many applications such as sensing, catalysis, photovoltaics, material processing etc. Nevertheless, their most important prospects are related to biomedical applications by employing these quantum tools for diagnostic and therapy purposes. Many existing healthcare issues require using several types of nanostructures at the […]
Ing. Eliška Zmeškalová, Ph.D.
I am interested in the pharmaceutical solid state. My students and I prepare and investigate novel crystalline solid forms of active pharmaceutical ingredients, such as polymorphs, solvates, hydrates, salts, and cocrystals. We use a wide range of analytical methods but focus on powder and single-crystal diffraction. We solve problems with unfavorable properties of drugs, such […]
Ing. Alexander Shick, DSc.
Currently, I am focusing on studies of magnetism and magnetic anisotropy in complex magnetic materials (bulk, multilayers, adatoms) for advanced technological applications. We develop and apply electronic structure theory for strongly correlated materials to rare-earth and actinide compounds. Also, we develop the non-empirical generalized Kohn-Sham hybrid functionals for the electronic, and optical properties of the […]

Ing. Gabriel Vanko, Ph.D.
Our research group explores the rising world of microsensors utilizing state-of-the-art electronic materials. We focus on understanding fundamental mechanisms of how photons, phonons and gas molecules interact at the interface of wide bandgap materials (diamond, GaN, AlN) and their heterostructures formed with 2D materials (MoS2, GO), employing complex analytic and spectroscopic techniques. The aim is […]
Ing. Michal Novotný, Ph.D.
My research deals with preparation of thin films, including their properties characterization and modifications. Physical vapor deposition (PVD) techniques, ie. pulsed laser deposition (PLD), magnetron sputtering and evaporation, are used for thin film fabrication. Hybrid laser deposition systems based on combination of PLD and these techniques are employed too. Attention is also paid to the […]
Dr. Vincent Mortet, Ph.D.
For over two decades, I have been engaged in European-level fundamental research on diamond, a wide bandgap semiconductor with remarkable physical, chemical, and quantum properties. My work has primarily focused on understanding and optimizing the synthesis of diamond thin films through chemical vapor deposition (CVD) techniques, with a particular emphasis on doped diamond (boron, nitrogen, […]

In our research, we employ terahertz spectroscopy to investigate the fundamental properties of both conventional and non-conventional superconductors under various external conditions. Our work focuses on two primary areas: the vortex mass and the electrodynamics of real superconductors. 1. Vortex Mass Understanding vortex dynamics is crucial for comprehending the behavior of superconductors in response […]
