   Goals: Research of plasmonic properties (in the NIR region) of  transition metal oxide nanomaterials

   The work is focused on the preparation and studies of low-dimensional transition metal oxide nanomaterials (2D nanoflakes, nanoparticles, quantum dots) exhibiting a strong surface plasmon resonance in NIR range. Being functionalized, such materials could be promising candidates for treatment of cancer cells by applying the photothermal effect. The key part of the work is the research of plasmonic properties of transition metal nanoobjects depending on the preparation methods, structure, size and their application in pilot photothermal effect experiments.

   The work will be performed at the Institute of Physics SAS. The Institute has at disposal all necessary technologies and diagnostics. The PhD. student will obtain universal skills with the latest experimental methods for the preparation and investigation of nanomaterials and will be actively engaged in an intense collaboration within the framework of several projects.

   Goals: Research of low-dimensional nanomaterials based of transitive metal oxides for photothermal effect applications in biomedicine

   The work is focused on the preparation and studies of low-dimensional transition metal oxide nanomaterials (2D nanoflakes, nanoparticles, quantum dots) exhibiting a strong surface plasmon resonance in NIR range. Being functionalized, such materials could be promising candidates for treatment of cancer cells by applying the photothermal effect. The essence of this method is a local increase of the temerature around the plasmonic nanoobject (around 42 °C) when it is irradiated by a laser beam of suitable wavelength. The starting material will be MoOx nanoflakes and nanodots developed and studied at the Institute at present.

   The importnat part of the work is the research of plasmonic properties of transition metal nanoobjects depending on the preparation methods, structure, size and their application in pilot photothermal effect experiments on standard cells. The design and realization of an experimental setup for photothermal effect studies in a model environment is planned as well.

   The work will be performed at the Institute of Physics SAS at the Department of multilayers and nanostructures. The Institute has at disposal all necessary technologies, diagnostics for research and development of transition metal oxide LD nanomaterials and the preliminary studies of the photothermal effect.

   The work addresses a highly topical issue in the research field of nanomaterials for biomedical applications. The PhD. student will obtain universal skills and experience with the latest experimental methods for the preparation and investigation of nanomaterials and will be actively engaged in an intense collaboration within the framework of several projects.

   Goals: Research and development of low-dimensional materials for applications in photovoltaic devices  and structures for batteries

   The low-dimensional (LD) nanomaterails such as nanoflakes, nanowires, nanoparticles, nanodots, quantum dots and/or hybride nanomaterials composed of them are  very attractive research area. The LD nanomaterials reveal novel and interesting properties and open new areas of their applications in various structures and devices. The work will be focused on the research of LD nanomaterials for application in the structures of perovskite-based solar cells and application in electrodes for the batteries based on Na+.

   Nanomaterials will be prepared mostly in the form of colloidal solution with a low-size despersion. To achieve the goals, new LD nanomaterials as well as those already developed at the Institute of Physics SAS will be applied. The properties of selected transition metal chalcogenides nanoflakes, nanoparticles of noble metals and transition metal oxides, nanodots and quanum dots will be studied A brand new field will be the research of hybride nanomaterials composed of several types of LD nanomaterials which are promising especially for electrodes of Na+ based batteries.

   The work willl be performed at the Institute of Physics SAS at the Department of multilayers and nanostructures. The Institute has at disposal all necessary technologies for research and development of LD nanomaterials and necessary diagnostics for their characterization and functionalization as well as in-operando studies of processes in photovoltaic structures and battery electrodes.

   The work addresses a highly topical issue in the research field of nanomaterials and materials for energy conversion and storage. The PhD. student will obtain universal skills and experience with the latest experimental methods for the preparation and investigation of nanomaterials and will be actively engaged in an intense foreign collaboration within the framework of several international projects.
