Fyzikální ústav Akademie věd ČR

Research activities of the department focus to study of physical, chemical and structural properties of various types of nanostructures and thin films. Main research directions are the following:

• nanostructures and thin films of silicon used for photovoltaic modules
• characterization, modification of atomic and electronic structure of surfaces and nanostructures, computer simulations of nanostructures and surfaces
• brightly photoluminescent silicon nanostructures as light sources for nanophotonics
• organic-inorganic nanosystems for optical electronics and bio electronics

which are solved within national and international research projects.

We are participating in the following research, educational and popularization activities:

• Scanning Probe Miscroscopy Expert & Training Center of the Institute of Physics, ASCR (SET-Center)
• Material Science Beamline (at Elettra)
• Virtual Research Center for Carbon-based Biomaterials and Biointerfaces (CABIOM)
• Center of Nanotechnologies and Materials for Nanoelectronics
• Czech NanoTeam
• International Summer School on Physics at Nanoscale
