Considering the class of materials prepared by compaction ofisolated or non-insulated particles is becoming increasingly important, the knowledge of these peculiarities isuseful in developing 3D materials for practical use in electrotechnology.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Duration:<\/td>\n<td>1.1.2024 &#8211; 31.12.2027<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<table class='project_list'>\n<tr>\n<td colspan='2'>&#8211;<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td colspan='2'>\u0160t\u00fadium vysokoenergetick\u00fdch kozmick\u00fdch l\u00fa\u010dov z vesm\u00edru a ich interakcie s atmosf\u00e9rou Zeme pomocou neutr\u00ednov\u00fdch teleskopov<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Program:<\/td>\n<td>VEGA<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Project leader:<\/td>\n<td>RNDr. Pastir\u010d\u00e1k Blahoslav, CSc.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Duration:<\/td>\n<td>1.1.2025 &#8211; 31.12.2027<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<table class='project_list'>\n<tr>\n<td colspan='2'>Enhancement of superconducting parameters in high-entropy alloy thin films<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td colspan='2'>Vylep\u0161enie supravodiv\u00fdch parametrov vysoko-entropick\u00fdch zliatin tenk\u00fdch filmov<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Program:<\/td>\n<td>VEGA<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Project leader:<\/td>\n<td>RNDr. Prist\u00e1\u0161 Gabriel, PhD.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><a href=\"javascript:toggle('show13')\">Annotation:<\/a><\/td>\n<td><span id=\"show13\" style=\"display: none;\">Superconducting materials have become an integral part of the latest technologies such as quantum computers,single-photon detectors, magnetic resonance, SQUID, etc. Achieving room-temperature superconductivity is nomore the only goal, but targeted improvement of superconducting parameters (upper critical field, criticaltemperature) for application needs is the key. Extreme conditions in the form of very low temperatures, highpressures and reduction dimensions into quasi-two dimensions are very powerful tools in this endeavor. Inparticular, in case of thin films the superconducting properties can be tuned by several external parameters (e.g.film thickness, substrate, interfaces).

The intention of the presented project is to respond to this challenge by functionalizing the current liquids used in electrical transformers in order to increase their cooling efficiency while maintaining or improving their dielectric and insulating properties. For this project, the liquids used in the distribution transformers of the manufacturer interested in this research will be selected. These are commercial liquids primarily based on liquefied natural gas, synthetic and natural esters. Based on current state of the art, the liquids will be functionalized by means of nanotechnologies and nanomaterials, which can significantly improve thermal conductivity, natural and thermomagnetic convection, and thus make the overall heat transport in the liquids more efficient. The functionalizing nanoadditives will be mainly made from carbon (fullerene, nanodiamond) and iron oxides or other ferromagnetic elements. The functionalized liquids will undergo laboratory measurements of physico-chemical, electrical, magnetic and thermal properties. Based on the analyzes of laboratory experiments and numerical simulations, nanofluids with the greatest potential for improving the thermal and insulating properties of the transformer will be selected. The selected nanofluids will be tested by the industrial partner (the customer of the research results) and applied in the selected distribution transformer. The transformer will be subjected to electrical and temperature rise tests. One can expect that the nanofunctionalization of the liquids will result in a lower operating temperature of the transformer, which can lead to an extension of the transformer service life and to the production of smaller transformers.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Duration:<\/td>\n<td>1.7.2023 &#8211; 30.6.2027<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<table class='project_list'>\n<tr>\n<td colspan='2'>ROTOLES &#8211; Optimised growth and the transport and optical properties of thin layers of selected topological semimetals<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td colspan='2'>Optimalizovan\u00fd rast a transportn\u00e9 a optick\u00e9 vlastnosti tenk\u00fdch vrstiev vybran\u00fdch topologick\u00fdch polokovov<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Program:<\/td>\n<td>SRDA<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Project leader:<\/td>\n<td>prof.

Since those times, particle physics has been searching for particles representing Weyl and Majorana\\&#8217;s fermions. However, their search has not yet been successful. In the last twenty years, it has been shown that the band structure of some materials has such unique characteristics that the charge carriers in them can behave according to the dynamics satisfying the Dirac or Weyl relativistic equations. Such materials include compounds from the group of transition metals dichalcogenides, which we will focus on in our project. We will work with very thin layers of selected materials from this group, such as PtSe2, MoTe2 and WTe2. The first step in the implementation of the project will be the preparation of such layers by chalcogenisation of thin films of transition metals. Their transport and optical properties will then be thoroughly investigated. Temperature-dependent transport measurements can show us transitions between different structures of the same material. We expect that a metal-insulator transition can be observed when the thickness of such thin films is varied. Some of these materials can go into a superconducting state at very low temperatures. We will also try to induce this state in close proximity, i.e. when the thin layer is in contact with another superconductor. Optical measurements will be correlated with transport measurements. We derive essential frequency-dependent characteristics, such as optical conductivity, from the latter. We will look for characteristics theoretically predicted for Dirac and Weyl fermions in the optical conductivity.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Duration:<\/td>\n<td>1.7.2024 &#8211; 30.6.2027<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<table class='project_list'>\n<tr>\n<td colspan='2'>&#8211;<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td colspan='2'>Viaczlo\u017ekov\u00e9 ligandy ako modul\u00e1tory cie\u013eov spojen\u00fdch s patogen\u00e9zou Alzheimerovej choroby<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Program:<\/td>\n<td>SRDA<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Project leader:<\/td>\n<td>doc.

Thus, the better MNPs are heated, the lower concentration of MNPs in the cancer tissue is required resulting in reducing the risk of side effects. Therefore, the heating ability and heating rate of these MNPs is extremely important.

Two well-defined LOC application areas are targeted: micro-rheology and single-cell manipulation. Micro-viscometers utilizing the effect of the surrounding fluid medium on the deformation (deflection) of flexible micro-cantilevers will be developed. The novel viscometer devices will be either anchored to the bottom glass surface or kept mobile and optically transportable inside the micro-fluidic system. Light-driven elastic micro-robots will be designed and tested for capture, transport, and release of single live cells. The operation of the developed micro-manipulators will be automated to build multicellular systems, mimicking the tissue conditions, in an autonomous way. To facilitate the flexible microstructure development and optimization, the material properties of the photo-polymers will be determined by comparing experimental deformation data with the results of numerical simulations.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Duration:<\/td>\n<td>1.7.2022 &#8211; 30.6.2026<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<table class='project_list'>\n<tr>\n<td colspan='2'>REBCOAPL &#8211; &#8211;<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td colspan='2'>REBCO mas\u00edvne supravodi\u010de na b\u00e1ze Y, Gd, Sm a Eu pre praktick\u00e9 aplik\u00e1cie<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Program:<\/td>\n<td>SRDA<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Project leader:<\/td>\n<td>Ing.

Based on our latest results, we will focus on thealloying of LREBCO (LRE- light rare earths) with elements that suppress Ba\/LRE substitution in the crystal lattice,the addition of nanocrystalline BaCeO3, the bimodal size distribution of pining centres and the configuration ofholes in REBCO BSS. We will apply the research results in the development of BSS production technology withoptimized superconducting and mechanical properties. The use of the research and development results achievedwithin the project is expected by the manufacturer BSS CAN Superconductors s.r.o.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Project webpage:<\/td>\n<td><a href='https:\/\/websrv.saske.sk\/uef\/oddelenia-a-laboratoria\/laboratorium-materialovej-fyziky\/' target='_blank'>https:\/\/websrv.saske.sk\/uef\/oddelenia-a-laboratoria\/laboratorium-materialovej-fyziky\/<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Duration:<\/td>\n<td>1.7.2022 &#8211; 30.6.2026<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<table class='project_list'>\n<tr>\n<td colspan='2'>R1-Kareem Abdul &#8211; Misfolding proteins in amyloid diseases and their prevention\/therapy<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td colspan='2'>\u0160tipendi\u00e1 pre excelentn\u00fdch PhD. \u0161tudentov a \u0161tudentky (R1) \u2013 UEF SAV<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Program:<\/td>\n<td>Pl\u00e1n obnovy E\u00da<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Project leader:<\/td>\n<td>MTech.
