| Collaboration |
The nature of our research is interdisciplinary. We have no deep collaboration with other groups of Faculty of Natural Sciences, but we have large collaboration with Faculty of Mathematics and Physics (More than 10 collective publications)
- Department of Low-Temperature Physics (Mössbauer Spectroscopy Group)
- Department of Condensed Matter Physics – collaboration in the field of magnetic nanomaterials
- Department of Chemical Physics and Optics – preparation of optical materials – luminescent porous silicon
Collaboration with Academy of Sciences
of the Czech Republic:
- Institute of Inorganic Chemistry – common research projects, scientific stays of our students
- Institute of Physics – common research projects, e.g. "Nanotechnology for society"
