Mission: Our mission is to uncover the interconnection between microscopic mechanism of magnetism and other physical properties in solids on different characteristic length-scales (such as electric and thermal transport, their crystal structure, charge and orbital order, elastic properties ...).
Approach: : Exploring recent trends and novel fields, we built our scientific achievements on both theoretical and experimental investigation of new materials with unique properties. Our current research is oriented to magnetic, magnetocaloric, thermal, electric and superconducting properties of intermetallic and oxide materials prepared in a form of various morphologies. The quality of our research would be unimaginable without the possibility to continuously build on historical experience in magnetic and high pressure investigations in the Institute of Physics.
As is the current standard, our research is supported by grants and is shaped by various international collaboration programmes. These allow us to focus on both the basic research of experimental and theoretical character as well as the applied research.
Despite magnetism and its microscopic origin represent a common denominator of our research interests, its role in on explored phenomena is often concealed. The department is structured into teams where scientific topics can be grasped:
