Department of Magnetics and Superconductors

Activities

  • Ab-initio electronic structure calculations, theoretical study of polarons in correlated systems and vortex dynamics in HTSCs
  • Study of magnetic oxides and high temperature superconductors by optical and magneto-optical spectroscopy in the visible, near- and far-infrared range.
  • Electrical transport in the vicinity of phase transition, metal-insulator transition, relation between thermal and electrical transport. Relation of transport anomalies to orbital polarization and orbital and charge ordering
  • Behaviour of magnetic materials at extreme conditions, at low temperatures, under high pressures and at high magnetic fields
  • Magnetic interactions, magnetic structures, magnetic moments and magnetocrystalline anisotropy under high pressures, magnetic P-T phase diagrams of the 3d- and 4(5)f-element alloys
  • Volume anomalies connected with magnetic phase transitions - compressibility and thermal expansion of the Fe-based intermetallic compounds under pressure
  • Preparation and characterization of complex oxide systems containing transition metals with mixed valence. Local magnetic interactions and long distance ordering
  • High pressure technique and methods in the solid state physics - construction of the high pressure apparatuses
