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.…

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…

Detection of pathogens or antibodies against pathogens using the series of LSPR active nanocomposites

The main aim of this study is to develop a new detection system for selected bacteria and viruses, as well as their proteins and antibodies against them. The detection system is focused on the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) where pathogen/protein/antibody attached to the LSPR sensors (containing metal nanoparticles) changes the optical and electrical characteristics.…

Ph.D. thesis: Study of the influence of transients phenomena in piezoceramics in terms of fracture-mechanical response

The aim of this work is to determine and explain the change in mechanical behaviour due to transients with emphasis on the fracture mechanical response in selected lead-free piezioceramics. The main goal of the doctoral thesis will be to study the mechanical and fracture behaviour of piezoceramics (for example BTO, BTZC, etc.) during its transition…

Ph.D. thesis: Microscopic processes at the fatigue crack tip

Fatigue crack growth is a process that is described macroscopically by quantities such as the stress intensity factor, J-integral or plastic part of the J-integral. There are many models of crack propagation at the microscopic level that consider plastic deformation around the crack tip, but which differ in details. Advances in experimental methods allow more…

Ph.D. thesis: Development of hybrid composites compensating shrinkage at pyrolysis

This work aims to design and describe suitable methods of shrinkage compensation and/or control for the preparation of matrix composites and their effect on microstructural changes and fracture behaviour of hybrid composite materials containing such adapted matrix and ceramic fibres. The main goal of the doctoral thesis will be the design and characterization of hybrid…

Bulding ECG Databases

The task is to create a general ECG database – explore and choose the proper database platform (SQL/NoSQL), create the design as the diagram scheme, and finally implement the database on a server and fill it up with data.  Skupina Umělá inteligence a medicínské technologie, oddělení Medicínské signály/Group of Artificial Intelligence and Medical Technologies https://www.isibrno.cz/cs

Functional nanolayers for the real world

At the Laboratory of Functional Biointerfaces at the Institute of Physics of the Czech Academy of Sciences, we focus on the development and study of functional nanolayers that can resist unwanted surface contamination – so-called antifouling coatings. These special surfaces find broad applications in medicine, biosensing, and industry. Our goal is to understand and control…

Intern for numerical modeling of failure in heterogeneous materials

This internship offers students the opportunity to participate in research on fracture processes in concrete and other heterogeneous materials. Due to its internal structure—cement matrix, aggregate, and pores—concrete is a complex material in which failure often develops at the cement paste/aggregate interface. The student will work on 2D/3D numerical modeling of this process using cohesive…

Determining the endurance life of selected construction materials

Current methods for determining the fatigue life of concrete structures focus on reducing stresses in structural elements. However, this approach only considers the degradation of mechanical properties due to cyclic loading and not the gradual development of microcracks. This topic is primarily concerned with the experimental determination of the fatigue life of construction materials, particularly…
