| Annotation: | By engineering novel magnetic nano-biomaterials we will achieve tissue repair in the context of an ischemic event. We will take advantage of nanotechnology to deliver therapeutic growth factors, secreted by progenitor cells, into the injured brain.According to the World Health Organization, 15 million persons suffer a stroke worldwide eachyear. However, the only available treatment is the acute thrombolytic therapy (pharmacological or mechanical) which is being administered to less than 10% of stroke patients due to strict selectioncriteria. In contrast, neuro-repair treatments could offer the opportunity to include most strokepatients by extending the therapeutic time window.MAGBBRIS will demonstrate that growth factors, secreted by endothelial progenitor cells, with proved potential to induce tissue repair, can be encapsulated in magnetic biomaterials and be successfully and safely transplanted into mouse brains to induce tissue repair. In the ischemic brain, the secretome will be retained by an external magnetic field in the vasculature, improving vascular remodelling and neurogenic tissue regeneration after stroke. |

The investigationand understanding of the interaction will help to prepare composite systems with highersensitivity to external magnetic field. Our preliminary (unpublished) results, devoted to studyingof magnetic properties of ferronematics, indicate a clear signature of the phase transitions (boththe isotropic to nematic and the nematic to crystal phase) in the magnetic properties of thesecomposite nanosystems: the ac susceptibility changes substantially at temperatures which canbe associated with the phase transition temperatures. The effect has neither been observed inundoped nematic liquid crystals, nor in pure nanoparticle systems. Therefore, it is reasonable tosuppose that the effect originates from the interactions between the nanoparticles and the liquidcrystal host. However, the exact cause, and the nature of the phenomenon is still unknown andrepresents an unexplored area of research. |

| Nanoparticles in anisotropic soft matter | |
| Program: | Inter-academic agreement |
| Project leader: | RNDr. Tomašovičová Natália, CSc. |
| Annotation: | Liquid crystals and liquid crystalline polymers are anisotropic fluids, and as such they are in general responsive to external stimuli. However, because of the small value of the anisotropy of the diamagnetic susceptibility (~10-7), they require rather high magnetic fields for a measurable response. In an effort to enhance the magnetic susceptibility, the idea of doping with magnetic particles was theoretically introduced more than fourty years ago. The experimental confirmations of the idea followed shortly, however, the results have been mainly found unreproducible indicating that the colloids were not stable. The research on this topic (especially on ferronematics) has been intensified in the last decade, and a number of experimental evidences has been given for obtaining stable composite materials when the concentration of the magnetic nanoparticles is kept low enough. In a recent paper [Soft Matter 7, 4742 (2011)] an experimental confirmation has been given for a measurable optical response of a ferronematic already at magnetic field of about 0.01T. The observation of the response at such a low field is very important for construction of various magneto-optical devices. We expect that our proposed research will contribute to a better understanding of the physics of the anisotropic colloidal systems, which represents the first step in designing materials with improved magnetic properties, and helps to establish the knowledge base to utilize related future technologies. |

| Annotation: | The project focuses on the development of REBCO bulk singlegrain superconductors (BSS) for biomedical applications. Their use is envisaged by the small enterprise CRYOSOFT s.r.o. Košice for design of equipments for the magnetic separation of cells and for the magnetic transport of drugs. For these applications, REBCO BSS will be developed for use at temperatures that can be achieved by cryocooling (30-50K). We will study YBCO, SmBCO and GdBCO systems that can meet the requirements for the expected applications. The raw material price for YBCO BSS is lower than for SmBCO and GdBCO BSS, however, the SmBCO and GdBCO are reaching higher values of trapped magnetic field. Within the project solution, the optimized composition and the preparation technology of REBCO BSS will be found in order to achieve efficient pining in high magnetic fields below temperature of liquid nitrogen, which is a prerequisite for achieving high critical current density and high trapped magnetic field. The critical current density will be improved through chemical pining, refining RE211 particles, adding nanofibers. We will take advantage of our previous results in basic and applied research of REBCO BSS, some of which are patent-protected. |

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. |

| Magnetoštruktúrne korelácie vo vybraných materiáloch obsahujúcich d- a f- prvky | |
| Magnetostructural correlation in selected materials containing d- and f- elements | |
| Program: | VEGA |
| Project leader: | RNDr. Mihalik Marián, CSc. |
| Annotation: | Our project is focused on the study of magnetostructural correlations in molecule-based magnets synthesized on the base of metal-cyano complexes (MCC) as well as in f- intermetallic compounds and borides. Effect of external parameters like pressure and light on magnetic properties will be studied on single crystals, powders, magnetic nanoparticles and films. Neutron diffraction methods will be used to study details of crystal structure and to study magnetic structure; we will study origin of compensation temperature observed in mixed ferri- ferromagnetic compounds. In the case of f- intermetallic compounds we are going to study non-Fermi liquid behavior (NFL), Kondo lattice, geometric frustration, magnetic anisotropy and long range magnetic ordering. We will focus on effect of chemical substitution, mechanic deformation, pressure and high magnetic field on magnetic properties. We would like to contribute to better description of ground state in selected heavy fermions, Kondo isolators and magnetic semiconductors by tunneling spectroscopy. |

| Výskum štruktúrnych a magnetických vlastností amorfných, nanofázových a nanokompozitných systémov na báze 3-d prechodových prvkov Fe, Co a Ni. | |
| Investigations of structural and magnetic properties of amorphous, nanophase and nanokomposite systems based on 3-d transition elements Fe, Co and Ni | |
| Program: | VEGA |
| Project leader: | RNDr. Kováč Jozef, CSc. |
| Annotation: | The aim of this project is experimental investigation of new progressive magnetic materials with amorphous and nanocrystalline structure with attractive, not completely understood properties. The project intends to develop systematic investigation focusing on three basic objectives: i) the investigation of structural and magnetic properties of powder materials prepared by mechanical milling and by reverse micelle method and contribution to the understanding of magnetic state and magnetization processes of these materials ii) the contribution to the explanation of magnetic state, magnetization processes of the compacted materials iii) to analyze the structural stability and describe the structural changes occuring in these materials; to propose and realize preparation and heat treatments leading to the optimalization of soft magnetic properties in DC and AC magnetic fields after compaction. |
