URAN – Intermetalické zlúčeniny uranu a ich hydridy
Uranium intermetallics and their hydrides
Program: Bilateral – other
Project leader: RNDr. Mihalik Marián, CSc.
Annotation: Proposed project is devoted to study of isostructural compounds of the type A2T2X, where A islanthanide, which represent group of materials with very well localised f-electrons, or uranium,which forms compounds with delocalised 5f electron states. T is transition element and X is nontransitionelement like Sn or In. In this system a principal shortness of modern solid statephysics to include related phenomena connecting with rise and development of magneticordering by ab-initio calculations of electron structure impose enhanced requirement onexperimental physics. The reason is dominancy of matched electron – electron interactions,which lead to exotic i.e. emergent phase like unconventional superconductivity or non Fermiliquid behaviour. These phenomena are not described very well in the frame of classical theoriesbased on the one – electron approximation.The scientific goal of the project is determination of characteristic features related to magneticphase transition in selected compounds of the type A2T2X, exploration and specification of newcompounds from this series, determination of hydrogen absorption and study of magneto -structural correlation in this system. Variable concentration of H will be used to tune magneticproperties around the onset of magnetic ordering (for U) or for tuning to the metal-insulator transition (for lanthanides). For compounds in the critical region of the transition, detailed characteristics down to very low temperatures will be established and analyzed in the context ofnon-Fermi liquid physics. The project has a good chance to give a significant contribution to thephysics of strongly correlated systems. A broader goal is a better coordination (integration) of the Czech and Slovak research teams working in the same field and their instrumental capacities.

CFNT MVEP – Centrum fyziky nízkych teplôt a materiálového výskumu v extrémnych podmienkach
Centre of Low Temperature Physics And Material Research at Extreme Conditions
Program: Centrá excelentnosti SAV
Project leader: prof., RNDr. Samuely Peter, DrSc., akademik US Slovenska
Annotation: Centre of Low Temperature Physics and Material Research at Extreme Conditions Kosice, CLTP-MREC, represents a concept of cutting-edge experimental research institution focused on low temperature physics and material research under extreme conditions. By the extreme conditions apart from low temperatures meant are also high as well as extremely small magnetic fields, extremely high pressures and temperatures, and also reduced dimensions – preparation of nanomaterials and investigations of properties on a nanoscopic scale. Main goal of the project has been to mobilize a common research of constituting organisations and to target it to the area of materials and technologies with a high application potential and technological transfer. The world competitive physics and material science demands the up-to-date research infrastructure. CLTP-MREC has already now in disposal top level instruments and techniques obtained within the framework of the European structural funds, Framework Programmes and other grant schemes but as the most important added value the Centre deems its capability to develop own unique scientific methods, instruments and technologies. The Centre belongs to a dozen world laboratories able to perform experiments in microkelvin range but it disposes also other unique techniques for processing and characterization of materials in high magnetic fields, and at high pressures and temperatures. In this proposal we will concentrate on development of another top level instruments and technologies as well on a synergetic collaboration of our laboratories which represent an important base of the material R&D in Košice.

NANOFLUID – Centrum excelentnosti SAV – Nanokvapaliny
Centre excelence of SAS – Nanofluids
Program: Centrá excelentnosti SAV
Project leader: doc. RNDr. Kopčanský Peter, CSc.
Annotation: Centre of NANOFLUIDS is oriented to development of technology of nanoparticles, as are magnetic nanoparticles, coloid gold, nanotubes and their complex characterisation from with aspect to their magnetic and morphologic properties. The prepared nanoparticles will be funcionalised for applications in biomedicine, biotechnology and electrotechnical industry. In the case of biomedical applications the interaction of nanoparticles with biomacromolecules will be investigated, mostly with aspect of the nanohazard, drug targeting delivery, hyperthermia and treatment many human diseases as e.g. Alzheimer\’s diseases, etc. For technical applications the centre will investigate opportunity of application in LCD’s, sensors of magnetic field, as an insulated and cooling medium in high power transformers and converters, exploation multilayered nanotubes and fullerenes as electrodes in device that could converts sun energy into electricity.
