Condensed Matter Division

Division info:

The main scientific task is the study of the structure of modern materials

that are important because of technological and scientific merit.

These materials include transition metal oxides, semiconductors and metals.

The most important phenomena related with these materials include:

colossal magnetoresistance, colossal dielectric constants and magnetoelectric

coupling opening possibilities of use in future spintronic applications.

The materials used in our studies are found as polycrystals,

single crystals, nanocrystals and low-dimensional

systems, e.g. thin films and multilayers. The experimental techniques include

X-ray diffraction, synchrotron radiation diffraction and neutron scattering.
