A new review paper dealing with interaction of actinides with hydrogen and physical properties of actinide hydrides has been published in a high-impact journal Reports on Progress in Physics. Interaction of actinide metals with hydrogen is important for energy or…
Scientists from our faculty have made a groundbreaking discovery in the field of optoelectronics. Our research demonstrates a new way to manipulate excitons in semiconductors using coherent optical interactions, opening the door for ultrafast valleytronics operating at multiterahertz frequencies.
A new type of two-dimensional material that emits structured light has been created by scientists from the Faculty of Mathematics and Physics of Charles University and the J. Heyrovský Institute of Physical Chemistry of Czech Academy of Sciences.
We introduce sulphur isotope engineering for the first time in the transition metal di-chalcogenides family, which enables us to disentangle the crucial role played by phonons in the optoelectronic properties of transition metal di-chalcogenides.
Our in-house characterization of unique pyrochlore heterostructures using X-ray scattering methods contributed to recent work by Jian Liu's research group at the University of Tennessee. They designed and synthesized a pyrochlore heterostructure where the breaking of the spin ice rule…
Our group used a unique capability of the X-ray magnetic circular dichroism technique to determine the magnetic orbital moment component of Vanadium ions in the layered van der Waals system. We have revealed an exceptionally sizable orbital moment of Vanadium…
An electron and a hole can create bound states known as excitons. When these states occur in an atomically thin semiconducter layer, they behave like two-dimensional hydrogen atoms. Well, not exactly. Find more details in our recent paper.
We have organized Czech-Bavarian Mini-school on Large Scale Facilities and Open Data for the second time. The 15 students enjoyed magnetism, crystal growth, beer, collaborations, card games, and unicorns!
Materials called transition metal dichalcogenides can hold electrons in band minimas called valleys. We have investigated the possibility to control these electronic states by light pulses. Find the thorough theoretical analysis in our recent paper!
On December 7, the dean’s prize for the best bachelor thesis was awarded to our user Kateřina (Katka) Tetalová. In her thesis with the title “Morphology and physical properties of misfit layer compound VPbS3“, she focused on the properties of…
