Diagnostics of Reactive Plasma Using a Planar High-Frequency Probe During the Deposition of Layers with Antiviral Effects

As part of the internship, the student will be involved in the research of plasma deposition of crystalline CuFeO2 layers with antiviral effects. The deposition of CuFeO2 layers will be carried out using the method of reactive pulsed magnetron sputtering with an additional high-frequency inductively coupled plasma operating in resonance with the electron cyclotron wave.…

A Look into the Heart of Affinity Biosensors: Custom Biochip Development

During this internship, the student will first become familiar with the fundamental principles of modern affinity optical and piezoelectric biosensors, which target the analysis of real, and therefore complex, biological samples, with a focus on public safety, clinical diagnostics, and food safety. The student will learn measurement techniques such as surface plasmon resonance (SPR) and…

Preparation and Optimization of Inorganic Crystals for the Detection of Ionizing Radiation

During the internship, the student will become familiar with the characterization and preparation of crystals for scintillation detectors of ionizing radiation. The crystals will be prepared using the modern micro-pulling-down method, which is currently available only at the Institute of Physics of the Czech Academy of Sciences. The influence of composition (stoichiometry) of gadolinium-gallium-aluminum garnet-based…

Application of Molecular Dynamics in Materials Research

Molecular Dynamics (MD) is a computer simulation method that describes the motion of atoms and molecules. The trajectories of atoms and molecules are typically determined by numerically solving Newton’s equations of motion for a system of interacting particles, where the forces between particles and their potential energy are often calculated using interatomic potentials or molecular…

Functional nanolayers for the real world

The student will become familiar with the procedures for the preparation, characterization, and application of functional nanolayers with so-called antifouling properties during their internship, which can have wide applications in the real world. They will learn methods such as post-modification of polymer layers to anchor bioreceptors to the surface, achieving targeted functional properties of the…
