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.

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.

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.

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.

Neven Šantić from the Institute of Physics and colleagues from France published a paper in Physical Review Letters in which they observed the evolution of random waves with Gaussian statistics in two dimensions. The evolution is enabled by introducing a repulsive interaction between the waves in the form of a defocusing nonlinearity, with atomic vapor serving as an efficient nonlinear medium.
