Let's do science differently
Explore a modern approach to contemporary science, delve into the world of quantum fluctuations, harness neural networks, and push scientific knowledge forward.
I want to study thereWe would like to thank our students Kateřina Tetalová, Filip Hájek, and Lukáš Frk for representing our faculty at the 14th Czech and Slovak Student Scientific Conference held on May 2nd and 3rd at UPJŠ in Košice. Congratulations to Filip and Lukáš on securing first and second place, respectively, in their categories in the competition for the best scientific papers at the conference!
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 by a translation or inversion. Such symmetry has unconventional physical consequences.
In a recent letter by Peter Zalom from FZU, Martin Žonda, and Tomáš Novotný from our department, a novel approach to understanding interacting quantum dots coupled to multiple superconducting leads, based on a so far hidden symmetry, has been unveiled. These hybrid nano systems have the potential to be used as building blocks of the future superconducting electronics devices. As also revealed in the letter, they can be tuned to serve as superconducting diodes or even transistors.

» Show pastWe 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.
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.
