Jahn-Teller phonons inducing ferroelectricity in GaV4S8

Tuesday, 14.06.2016 10:30 - 11:30

Jiri Hlinka (Department of Dielectrics )

Interesting ferromagnetic ferroelectric system permitting skyrmionic spin structure phases has also a peculiar ferroelectric transition. We shall briefly report about theoretical and experimental studies of the lattice-dynamics aspects of this phase transition.

High-pressure behaviour of transition metal dichalcogenides MoS2, MoSe2 and MoTe2 from ab initio simulations

Tuesday, 14.06.2016 15:00 - 16:00

Abstract: We study the evolution of structural and electronic properties of layered semiconducting transition metal dichalcogenides, MoX2 (X = S, Se, Te) upon increasing pressure, employing ab initio DFT calculations in combination with metadynamics and evolutionary search. We found that in MoS2 a layer sliding structural transition occurs at 20 GPa, converting the 2Hc stacking stable at ambient pressure to the 2Ha stacking (known in 2H-NbSe2)[1].

Optical trapping of silica nanoparticles in air

Thursday, 16.06.2016 10:00 - 11:00

Lukáš Ondič (Fyzikální ústav AV ČR, v.v.i.; Cikrovarnická 10; Praha 6)

Tightly focused electromagnetic radiation (an optical beam) can be used to capture a small particle without physically touching it. This technique, which has led to a Nobel prize in physics and a whole new industry in biotechnology, could allow for example to explore new physical regimes when it is combined with cooling the particle to its quantum ground state.
