    Dr. M. Vališka’s team has successfully prepared high-quality single crystals of UTe2 specifically tailored for quantum oscillation studies. Utilizing these samples, the Cambridge group, led by A. Eaton, conducted a series of experiments in high magnetic field facilities, followed by advanced modelling to assess the potential geometries of Fermi sheets in UTe2.

    The Department of Condensed Matter Physics, Faculty of Mathematics and Physics, Charles University and Nuclear Physics Institute, The Czech Academy of Sciences organize the whole-day meeting of the Czech neutron users. The Czech neutron community meeting 2024 continues the series of annual meetings of Czech neutron users started in 2016 and informal meetings of neutron users Neutron-Beer, which were interrupted by the Covid-19 pandemic.

About 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.
