Research topics:

Preparation and characterization of novel materials for nonlinear optics (NLO), especially for second harmonic generation (SHG), based on hydrogen-bonded compounds (i.e. salts or cocrystals) of organic nitrogen-containing bases

Prepared materials are characterized by the combination of diffractional (X-ray structural analysis) and spectroscopic methods (FTIR, FT Raman, NMR, UV-VIS-NIR, MS).

The interpretation of spectroscopic data is based on quantum chemical calculations (Gaussian).

The final optical characterization of prospective materials is performed in collaboration with Department of Chemical Physics and Optics (Faculty of Mathematics and Physics, Charles University in Prague) and Institute of Physics (The Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic).
