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:

An article by Drahos Dvorsky et al. in high-IF Journal of Magnesium and Alloys  systematically compares the traditional ingot metallurgy and rapid solidification technique for preparation of Mg-Y-Zn magnesium alloys with high strength and ductility, originating from their unique microstructures, which include Long-Period Stacking Ordered (LPSO) phases and/or Mille-Feuille structures (MFS).

...and notably, probably one of the first department articles written with assistance from AI
