Our research expertise and experience are related to liquid crystalline compounds and their physical properties, we concentrate on various systems with dipole ordering, monomers and/or polymers. We are preparing and pursuing hybrid nanocomposites based on nanoparticles with organic molecules attached to their surface as ligands. We study liquid crystals admixed with inorganic nanoparticles (magnetic, ferroelectric, […]

I am involved in the wavelength conversion of the high-average power lasers either into shorter or longer wavelengths. The lasers, we deal with, are based on a Yb-doped medium, typically Yb:YAG. The emission wavelength is 1030 nm. The gain medium in the form of thin-disk or cryogenically cooled multi-slab allows efficient heat extraction from the […]

My field of interest includes luminescence and scintillation materials design, preparation, characterization and application potential evaluation. My team focuses on the energy transfer and storage phenomena in scintillation mechanism, physics of defects, luminescence of excitons in bulk, nanoaggregates and quantum dots. The description of the experimental background and activities of the department of Optical Materials, […]

In our team we investigate atomic-scale optical properties of molecules and low dimensional materials. In recent years, experimental development in scanning tunneling microscopy opened the possibility to study the interaction of light with nanoscale samples in the precisely controlled environment of the tunneling junction of the microscope. We are interested in theoretical modelling of light-matter […]

My work focuses on development and application of theoretical methods in physics of nonequilibrium processes. A modern approach to this field is called stochastic thermodynamics and it is based on the combination of stochastic (usually Markovian) dynamics with consistent thermodynamic interpretation via the local detailed balance principle. By that we can extend usual thermodynamic quantities […]

Terahertz spectra encode information on charge transport on nanoscale distances. In the past, we have developed both experimental and theoretical frameworks oriented on the understanding of the linear response and its relation to the charge transport in large ensembles of nano-objects https://doi.org/10.1002/adom.201900623. Several new directions are nowadays explored in our group, including the following topics: […]

My main interest is research and development of new radiation tolerant semiconductor detectors for experiments on very high luminosity colliders. Since 2009, I have been a member of the international ATLAS R&D group „Development of n-in-p silicon sensors for very high radiation environment“, which developed in cooperation with the Japanese company Hamamatsu a radiation-hard strip […]

Ultrafast laser or particle irradiation of materials plays an important role in both, fundamental and applied sciences. Understanding of basic phenomena in the physics of solids, nonequilibrium kinetics, and matter at extreme conditions, benefits from experiments accessing the natural time window of the involved processes (femtosecond timescales) such as electron kinetics, electron-ion (electron-phonon) coupling, and […]
Ing. Pavel Márton, Ph.D.
My field of interest is research on ferroelectric materials. These materials exist in multiple equivalent states and can be switched between these states by external electric fields or pressure. The inherent nonlinearity of these materials leads to properties, which are already being applied in devices, and to many effects which are foreseen for applications in […]

My main professional interest is the top quark physics. I’m working on ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN and contributed to various analyses studying top quark, e.g., the measurement of a subtle effect in the production of top quark pair, so called ‚charge asymmetry‘, the measurement of differential cross-sections using highly […]
