Researchers of the Institute of Physics of the CAS and University of Vienna work together on novel graphene-diamond heterojunctions within the project supported by the Czech Science Foundation (GACR) and Austrian Science Fund (FWF). While the energy bandgap of 5.5 eV in the diamond electronic structure leads to the electrical resistivity as high as 1018 Ωm, graphene shows a zero bandgap at Fermi level behaving as a semimetal with extraordinary electronic...
The International Young Physicists Tournament took place in Singapore from 5th to 12th July 2017. The Czech team won a silver medal in a competition of 31 teams from all over the world. The Czech Republic was represented by students from Mendel secondary school in Opava who won in the national competition. Employees of the Institute of Physics of the Czech Academy of Sciences, Dr. Hynek Němec, Dr. Zdeněk Janů and Dr. Karel Výborný, were among the organizers of the...
