Work of our valuable student and colleague Petr Král was awarded by the Charles University Grant Agency (GAUK) Board. His project “Pressure-driven structural and magnetic transformations in 221 intermetallics“ was evaluated as “Exceptionally good“ and moreover obtained a Honorable mention after his work has been evaluated as the third best solved project among the GAUK projects completed in 2023. The GAUK award was given to him within the festive ceremony on November 17 in Karolinum.

» Show pastAbout our department
We are a physics department dedicated to the study of condensed matter, i.e. the physics of solids and liquids. We are a research department with a strong focus on theoretical and experimental condensed matter physics. Our department also houses the scientific infrastructure of MGML, which is a state-of-the-art facility for research in condensed matter physics.
What do we do?
We work on the latest problems in condensed matter physics. We have 4 groups: Group of Magnetic Properties studies the physical properties of a wide range of materials, from high-temperature superconductors to rare earth metal alloys and actinides. Group of Structure Analysis focuses on the study structure and microstructure of advanced materials using X-ray diffraction. Group of Theoretical Physics models a wide range of physical phenomena in condensed matter, in particular using quantum mechanics and artificial intelligence. Physics of Nanostructures Group concentrates on comprehensive research of nanostructures with a focus on their use in optoelectronic, biomedical and environmental technologies.
