28/05/2018 Signing of the KaCIF project Contract

On Monday the 28th, 2018, a Contract was signed in the Ministry of Science and Education, according to which the sum of 39,558,639.75 Hrk is awarded to the project “Cryogenic center of the Institute of Physics – KaCIF” within the “Operational Programme Competitiveness and Cohesion 2014.– 2020“, financed by the European Regional Development Fund.

18/05/2018 Band structure of the thermoelectric SnSe

Our colleague Petar Pervan has together with groups from USA and Italy published a paper in Physical Review Letters on the electron band structure of tin selenide, a layered thermoelectric material.

11/05/2018 Strain transfer across grain boundaries in MoS2 monolayers grown by chemical vapor deposition

Together with our colleagues Valentin Jadriško, Borna Radatović, Davor Čapeta, and Marko Kralj, a group of researchers from Universität Münster, Germany, has recently published a paper on the transfer of strain at the grain boundaries of MoS₂ monolayers grown by chemical vapor deposition. The results demonstrate that large-area artificially grown MoS₂ monolayers are promising for mass-produced nanomechanical devices.

03/04/2018 Ceremony of signing of the contract for CALT

The ceremony marking the signing of the contract for the Grant for the strategic project “CALT (Advanced Laser Technology Center)” under the “Competitiveness and Cohesion Operational Program 2014 – 2020″ was held on Wednesday, April the 4^th 2018, at the Ministry of Science and Education.

02/03/2018 Growth of quasi-freestanding transition metal disulphide monolayers on van der Waals substrates

Together with our colleagues Borna Pielić and Marko Kralj, group of researches from Germany has recently published a paper on the growth of single-layer disulfides on vdW substrates in ultra-high vacuum. Growth of Different TMDCs require only a small change of parameters in the synthesis procedure, making this method attractive for wide use.
