Department of Functional Materials

belongs to the Condensed Matter Division of the Institute of Physics of the Czech Academy of Sciences

The department consists of 3 research groups FMC, MNB and MCM

Research within the department focusses on  active or passive functionality imprinted to the solid state materials on the structural level,

Currently, we are mainly working on:

Recent Key Results

When exposed to high stress at high temperatures, the monoclinic B19' martensite in NiTi shape memory alloy transforms locally to long period modulated structure

Modulated martensite in NiTi shape memory alloy exposed to high stress at high temperatures

An article in High IF journal  Chemical Engineering Journal by P. Ashcheulov focusses electrochemical properties of  thin-layer diamond electrodes prepaged by CVD synthesis.

Surface morphology-assisted electrochemical conversion of carbon dioxide to formic acid via nanocrystalline boron-doped diamond electrodes

New deformation mechanism of plastic deformation of monoclinic B19' martensite in NiTi was introduced in two recent articles of the FMC group published in journals Acta Materialia and International Journal of Plasticity

Experiment:  Plastic deformation of B19’ monoclinic martensite in NiTi shape memory alloys: HRTEM analysis of interfaces in martensite variant microstructures

Model:  Kwinking as the plastic forming mechanism of B19 NiTi martensite
