doc. RNDr. Milan Klicpera, Ph.D.

I am an experimental condensed-matter physicist and university lecturer specialising in neutron scattering, magnetic materials, and the preparation and characterisation of single crystals.

My research focuses on strongly correlated electron systems and recently on rare-earth pyrochlore oxides (A₂B₂O₇), whose geometrically frustrated crystal structures give rise to unconventional magnetic, structural, and electronic phenomena driven by electronic correlations and strong spin–orbit coupling. I combine neutron scattering with complementary experimental techniques to investigate the relationship between crystal structure, magnetism, and electronic properties of functional materials.

Alongside my research, I teach undergraduate and graduate courses on scattering methods, neutron diffraction, and magnetic structure determination, including laboratory and practical classes, and I supervise bachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral students.

I am actively involved in the development of the Czech neutron-scattering community. I serve as the Scientific Member Representative of the Czech Republic at the Institut Laue–Langevin (ILL, Grenoble) and as Vice-Chair of the Czech Neutron Association, contributing to the coordination of the national neutron user community and to strengthening access to international large-scale research infrastructures.
