My general scientific interests are/were focused on the structure elucidation with scattering and diffraction methods (X-rays and electrons), the microscopic, microstructural, and morpho-logical studies of hard and soft condensed matter (structurally complex intermetallic alloys and charged silica colloids), the use of structure systematics applying concepts of mathematical crystallography and discrete mathematics (measures of uniform distribution […]

The overall research focus is to explore the structural and electronic properties of 2D materials and their interface to substrates. Materials are studied under UHV conditions in the NanoESCA analysis and scanning tunneling microscopy chambers at SAFMAT. Materials research of 2Ds in the ultra-thin limit is interesting both from a fundamental point of view and […]

My vision for the next decade is to promote explorations of novel bulk and quasi-2D materials with broken structural and magnetic symmetries. The aim is to identify potential hosts of topological solitons and unconventional excitations. We hope to find climate-friendly materials needed for future sustainable optoelectronic technologies by combining theory and experiemnts. We are waiting […]

Our team is looking for a postdoc researcher to tackle unconventional states in correlated matter. This comprises synthesis strategies and characterization of a variety of known and novel materials, identification of promising systems, performing detailed experimental investigations of their electronic properties under various external variables, including neutron scattering and synchrotron experiments.
Ing. Luděk Heller, Ph.D.
As researcher of the Department of Functional Materials I have been investigating fascinating properties of shape memory alloys for many years. Although these alloys have been employed in medical, energy conversion, and space applications, their application potential remains, however, not fully exploited due to still limited understanding of irreversible deformation mechanisms coupled with martensitic transformation. […]
Oleg Heczko, Dr.
During the last 10 years I and my magnetic shape memory group in FZU has pursued mostly the experimental research of elasto-magnetic multiferroic materials based on Heusler alloys and more specifically on Ni2MnGa. This elasto-magnetic behavior is known as MSM phenomena. Although most of our work is experimental, also theoretical foundations were examined based on […]
Ing. Petr Hauschwitz, Ph.D., MBA
I am interested in cutting, drilling, stripping and structuring in micrometer dimensions. Mostly with ps and ns laser systems. Except that the focus is on surface functionalization to fabricate superhydrophobic, friction reduction, improved adhesion, biocompatible and antibacterial surfaces. Additionally, automatization, data processing and AI are one of the lab priorities for future micromachining.
Ing. Prokop Hapala, Ph.D.
Our newly established Group of surface molecular design specializes on theoretical description of organic molecules on the surface of inorganic solids, with a long-term goal to develop scalable bottom-up nanofabrication methods for molecular electronics and nanotechnology. We are interested in all chemical processes and methods leading to this goal – in particular high-resolution scanning probe […]
Prof. RNDr. Ondřej Haderka, Ph.D.
In my scientific work, I am interested in the investigation of quantum correlations of optical fields using detection based on photon counting. Over the past 20 years, we have developed a range of methods to detect quantum correlations in twin beams obtained by parametric fluorescence mainly using intensified CCD cameras. We have developed methods how […]

My main topics of interest are related to the study of novel laser-plasma acceleration and all-optical beam transport schemes, and testing innovative target delivery and diagnostic solutions, using the L3-HAPLS high repetition-rate laser system in the ELIMAIA beamline (ELI Multidisciplinary Applications of laser-Ion Acceleration). Other interests are in applications of laser-driven ions using a dedicated […]
