Our recent paper published in PNAS reveals a significantly revised high magnetic field superconducting phase diagram in the ultraclean limit of UTe2 single crystals. The study demonstrates a pronounced sensitivity of field-induced superconductivity to the presence of crystalline disorder.
Ondřej Michal, our Mgr. student, was awarded the Best Poster Award at the 22nd International Conference on Magnetism in Bologna for his poster titled "Magnetism and anisotropy of vdW antiferromagnet VCl3".
Our Ph.D. student Dávid Hovančík was awarded the Milan Odehnal Prize (2nd place) for his contribution to the investigating two-dimensional orbital magnetism in van der Waals systems. Dávid succeeded in the competition with his work published in Nano Letters, J.…
The annual Scientific Members Meeting of the Institute Laue-Langevin (ILL; Grenoble, France) was organized at the Burg Obbendorf in a close proximity of the Jülich Forschungzentrum, Germany. Czech Republic was represented by our colleague Milan Klicpera.
The Magnetism Group is pleased to announce the 24th International Conference on Solid Compounds of Transition Elements (SCTE24). The conference will take place from June 17 to June 21, 2024, at the Hotel Duo in Prague. Dr. Ross H. Colman…
Since 2020, a new branch of magnetic materials, altermagnets, has been theoretically identified, in addition to the conventional ferromagnets and antiferromagnets. The exclusively distinct spin-symmetry characteristics of altermagnets are the opposite-spin sublattices connected by a real-space rotation, but not connected…
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…
The collaborative project of the Institute of Physics of the AS CR, v.v.i. and the Department of Condensed Matter Physics entitled “Computational design of high-performance ferroelectrics” was awarded by the Czech Science Foundation (GAČR).
Dávid Hovančík a Ph.D. student at the Department of Condensed matter physics is the leading author of the paper Robust intralayer antiferromagnetism and tricriticality in the van der Waals compound VBr3 selected as Editors' choice in PRB. This study is…
The discovery of LK-99, a gray-black compound with the potential to exhibit room-temperature superconductivity, captured the imagination of the scientific community and beyond. LK-99 has ignited a fervent pursuit to understand and validate its unique properties. This article traces the…
