Atomic-layer 3D printing as a new paradigm for smart sensorics
Program:	ERANET
Project leader:	Ing. Hudec Boris, PhD.
Annotation:	The goal of the project is adopting new rapid on-demand prototyping fab-less fabrication method of atomic-layer additive manufacturing (ALAM) to fabricate a matrix of non-identical microscopic TiO2-based hydrogen-sensing elements, arranged into pre-programmed hardware neural network (HNN). The first application is a fully ALAM-printed prototype of a smart Pt/TiO2-based low-power hydrogen sensor with low-level in-sensor data processing. Wider adoption of ALAM technology, which we will pursue through the open innovation hub framework, where rapid prototyping of various ALAM-printed HNN designs from stakeholders, will be encouraged. Project addresses the needs for novel process technologies considering circular economy with minimized waste and use of critical materials, and the need for new smart sensors with in-sensor data processing for the rising hydrogen energy infrastructure.

FASTGRID – Nákladovo efektívne obmedzovače skratových prúdov využívajúce pokročilé supravodivé pásky pre budúce vysokonapäťové jednosmerne rozvodné siete
Cost effective FCL using advanced superconducting tapes for future HVDC grids
Program:	Horizon 2020
Project leader:	doc. Ing. Gömöry Fedor, DrSc.
Annotation:	Sustainability of energy systems goes through high penetration of renewable energy with huge volumes of electricity to transmit over long distances. The most advanced solution is the HVDC Supergrid. But fault currents remain an issue even if DC circuit breakers have emerged. These are not satisfying, whereas Superconducting Fault Current Limiters (SCFCLs) using REBCO tapes bring an attractive solution. SCFCLs have already proved their outstanding performances in MVAC systems, with a few commercial devices in service. However, present REBCO conductors cannot be readily used at very high voltages: the electrical field under current limitation is too low and leads to too long tapes and high cost. FASTGRID aims to improve and modify the REBCO conductor, in particular its shunt, in order to significantly enhance (2 to 3 times) the electric field and so the economical SCFCL attractiveness. A commercial tape will be upgraded to reach a higher critical current and enhanced homogeneity as compared to today’s standards. For safer and better operation, the tape’s normal zone propagation velocity will be increased by at least a factor of 10 using the patented current flow diverter concept. The shunt surface will also be functionalized to boost the thermal exchanges with coolant. This advanced conductor will be used in a smart DC SCFCL module (1 kA, 50 kV). This one will include new functionalities and will be designed as sub-element of a real VDC device. In parallel to this main line of work, developments will be carried out on a promising breakthrough path: ultra high electric field tapes based on sapphire substrates. FASTGRID will bring this to the next levels of technology readiness. In conclusion, FASTGRID project aims at improving significantly existing REBCO conductor architecture to make SCFCLs economically attractive for HVDC Supergrids. However, availability of such an advanced conductor will have an impact on virtually all other applications of HTS tapes.

TRANSCOE – Vývoj nových vodivých priehladných elektród pre organickú elektroniku
Development of new designed transparent conductive electrodes for organic electronics
Program:	Bilateral – other
Project leader:	Ing. Fröhlich Karol, DrSc.
Annotation:	Subject of the proposed project is preparation of new transparent conductive electrodes with high transparency and low sheet resistance for organic photovoltaic\’s (OPVs) and organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs). The project will focus on five issues; i) electrode design ii) synthesis of conductive electrodes; iii) fabrication, characterization and optimization of transparent electrodes; iv) fabrication and characterization of OPVs and OLEDs to test the performance of the prepared transparent conductive electrodes; v) encapsulation. We will prepare OPVs and OLEDs with incorporated novel electrode design and test the performances of the devices when the electrode materials will be deposited on glass and/or flexible substrate. Transparent conductive electrodes will be based either on organic Ag-nanowire network -organic multilayered structure or on atomic layer deposited Al-doped ZnO films. The electrodes will be characterized and optimized by measuring the sheet resistance and light transmission. The sheet resistance of the electrode should be adjusted to below 12 Ω and 50 Ω sq−1 for organic and Al-doped ZnO films transparent electrodes, respectively. Finally, OPVs and OLEDs will be encapsulated using atomic layer deposited thin films and their performance will be examined. Proposed project includes two different approaches of transparent conducting electrodes preparation for OPVs and PLEDs. Evaluation of performance of these two types of electrodes presents important and unique output of the project. As a result of the project A step to commercialization of new transparent conductive electrodes, OPVs and OLEDs will be achieved through international collaboration. Funding of the proposed project will create seed for setting up a new research on flexible electronics, Organic Field Effect Transistors (OFETs), Organic Thin Film Transistors (OTFTs), and nanotechnology applications in electronic and photonics for both partners.

Composites of inorganic nanotubes and polymers
Program:	COST
Project leader:	Ing. Lobotka Peter, CSc.
Annotation:	The main objective of the Action is to develop new composite materials from inorganic nanotubes and polymers and to establish appropriate links and transfer of knowledge needed for application and commercialisation of this kind of composite media by European industry. Nanotubes made of inorganic materials are an interesting alternative to carbon nanotubes, showing advantages such as e.g. easy synthetic access, good uniformity and solubility, and predefined electrical conductivity depending on the composition of the starting material. They are therefore very promising candidates as fillers for polymer composites with enhanced thermal, mechanical, and electrical properties. Target applications for this kind of composites are materials for heat management, electrostatic dissipaters, wear protection materials, photovoltaic elements, etc. The proposed Action will link together European scientists working on this rapidly emerging field to create a basis for a highly interdisciplinary research network focused on development and exploration of inorganic nanotube-polymer composites. The Action will generate a fundamental knowledge and create widespread links needed for application and commercialization of this kind of composite media by European industry.

NESPA – Nanotechnologicky upravené supravodiče pre aplikácie v silnoprúdovej elektrotechnike
Nano-Engineering Superconductors for Applications – European Network
Program:	FP6
Project leader:	doc. Ing. Gömöry Fedor, DrSc.
Annotation:	The project will focus on the most promising superconducting materials, preparation techniques, applications and cryogenic developments for the envisaged power application systems. Therefore, the materials research topics will be restricted to RE123 coated conductors, RE123 bulk material and MgB2 wires and tapes. There, improving the critical current density as the central figure of merit of superconducting materials for power applications requires the controlled incorporation of a high density of nano-scale defects into an undisturbed crystalline matrix. The electrical engineering issues under consideration will concentrate on reducing ac-losses in superconducting wires and tapes by innovative conductor designs with micrometer scaled structures in the superconductor, which can only be realized by means of material processing in the nanometer scale. The industrial aspects are focused on scale-up the material preparation and the realization of superconducting cables, motors, magnets and the cryogenics involved.

ULTRAGAN – Technológia InAlN(In)GaN heteroštruktúr pre mikrovlnný tranzistor s ultra vysokým výkonom
InAlN/(In)GaN heterostructure technology for ultra-high power microwave transistor
Program:	FP6
Project leader:	Ing. Fröhlich Karol, DrSc.
Annotation:	Next generation wireless network base stations, satellite communication systems and compact digital radar are just few examples where GaN-based devices can multiply the efficiency of amplifiers. However, improvements in GaN-based High Electron Mobility Transistors (HEMTs) are limited by the physics of already established AlGaN/GaN heterostructure system. ULTRAGAN project is aiming to explore new heterostructures using InAlN/(In)GaN alloys. The objective is to triple the HEMTs power density if compared to the state-of-the-art large periphery AlGaN/GaN HEMTs, InAlN/(In)GaN HEMTs are to demonstrate power densities of 30W/mm at 2 to 12 GHz. These parameters can be achieved primarily because of expected extremely high 2-dimensional electron gas density coupled with polarisation fields in the InAlN/(In)GaN heterojunction. The project gives to Europe an opportunity to come back at the edge of the microwave research, which is right now much stronger in the USA. and Japan. Research teams from pure academia to industrial application laboratories will be combined to secure high efficiency research. Molecular Beam Epitaxy (MBE) and Metallorganic Chemical Vapour Deposition (MOCVD) techniques will be explored to develop devices including InAlN/GaN single heterojunction (SH) and InAlN /(In)GaN/(In,Al)GaN double heterojunction (DH) systems. Better confinement in the DH is a very attractive approach to limit the role of deep electrical levels by reducing electron emission out of the channel. Moreover the chemistry of InAlN surface is expected to be different to GaN or AlGaN and more stable device surface might be discovered. A strong research will be carried out on the device passivation. In this way transistor I-V instabilities such as drain lags might be eliminated. The project also involves physical and thermal simulation, device processing and a full AC/DC HEMT characterization for a thorough device optimization. The Consortium team is composed of scientists from Austria, France, Germany, Greece, Slovakia and Switzerland.

TECHAPHO – Ternárne chalkogenidové perovskity pre fotovoltaiku
Ternary chalcogenide perovskites for photovoltaics
Program:	SRDA
Project leader:	Ing. Chromik Štefan, DrSc.
Annotation:	The goal of the proposed project is the synthesis of ternary chalcogenides with perovskite structure and systematiccharacterization of the relationship between the composition, structure, optical properties, thermal and chemical stability with the potential in the application in photovoltaics, or other optoelectronics.

PEROVCHIR – Vplyv aplikácie organických molekúl na vlastnosti perovskitovských tenkovrstvových štruktúr
Effect of the application of organic molecules on the properties of perovskite thin-film structures
Program:	SRDA
Project leader:	RNDr. Španková Marianna, PhD
Annotation:	In recent years, sufficient experimental evidence has accumulated that adsorbed organic chiral molecules affectthe superconducting properties of YBa2Cu3O7-x (YBCO) films. In some cases, an increase in their critical temperature Tc can be observed. On the other hand, it has been shown that in the case of ferromagnetic layers (e.g., cobalt), the application of chiral molecules can lead to a change in magnetization without the use of an electric current. An important role here is played by spin. Spin introduces an additional degree of freedom into the system, allowing devices, for example, to reduce electrical consumption or increase their computational capacity. Spintronic devices have become an attraction in electronics; however, problems associated with controlling spin remain a significant challenge. A unique way of manipulating spin is through the effect known as chirality-induced spin selectivity (CISS), which results from the specific structure of organic chiral molecules. The project focuses on the preparation and characterization of simple heterostructures and their interaction with chiral polymers deposited on the film surface. Specifically, it deals with the influence of chiral lactic acid on perovskite thin films, where the selected perovskites are high-temperature superconductor YBCO and ferromagnet La1-xSrxMnO3 (LSMO).

ROTOLES – Optimalizovaný rast a transportné a optické vlastnosti tenkých vrstiev vybraných topologických polokovov
Optimised growth and the transport and optical properties of thin layers of selected topological semimetals
Program:	SRDA
Project leader:	Dr. rer. nat. Hulman Martin
Annotation:	One of the fundamental results of quantum mechanics in the 1920s was the derivation of relativistic equations formassive fermions (Dirac), massless fermions (Weyl) and fermions that are themselves antiparticles (Majorana).Since those times, particle physics has been searching for particles representing Weyl and Majorana\’s fermions.However, their search has not yet been successful.In the last twenty years, it has been shown that the band structure of some materials has such uniquecharacteristics that the charge carriers in them can behave according to the dynamics satisfying the Dirac or Weylrelativistic equations. Such materials include compounds from the group of transition metals dichalcogenides,which we will focus on in our project.We will work with very thin layers of selected materials from this group, such as PtSe2, MoTe2 and WTe2. The firststep in the implementation of the project will be the preparation of such layers by chalcogenisation of thin films oftransition metals. Their transport and optical properties will then be thoroughly investigated. Temperaturedependent transport measurements can show us transitions between different structures of the same material. We expect that a metal-insulator transition can be observed when the thickness of such thin films is varied. Some ofthese materials can go into a superconducting state at very low temperatures. We will also try to induce this state inclose proximity, i.e. when the thin layer is in contact with another superconductor.Optical measurements will be correlated with transport measurements. We derive essential frequency-dependentcharacteristics, such as optical conductivity, from the latter. We will look for characteristics theoretically predictedfor Dirac and Weyl fermions in the optical conductivity.

PIRADUNEW – Perspektívne detektory ionizujúceho žiarenia pre nepokryté energetické okno neutrónov
Perspective ionizing radiation detectors for the uncovered neutron energy window
Program:	SRDA
Project leader:	Mgr. Zaťko Bohumír, PhD
Annotation:	The subject of the presented project is the optimization and preparation of semiconductor detection structuresbased on 4H-SiC and polycrystalline diamond suitable for neutron detection. As part of the project, single detectorswill be prepared and investigated, especially for neutron energies from 100 keV to several MeVs. There arecurrently few sensitive detectors in this area of neutron energy. The advantages of SiC and polycrystalline diamond are the high radiation and temperature resistance of structures. The high spectrometric capability of SiC detectors is also important, especially when detecting neutrons with energies below 1 MeV. Polycrystalline diamond is m ore affordable than SiC, and our first preliminary results show its promising detection properties, especially when detecting ionizing particles. Another advantage of both types of semiconductors is the low sensitivity to gamma radiation, which is almost always present in the event that neutrons are formed during a nuclear reaction. This gamma ray enhances the background and impairs the sensitivity of the detectors currently in use. Pixel sensors for the Timepix/Medipix reading chip will also be developed and investigated. Prototypes of the radiation camera will be tested and calibrated using a monoenergetic neutron source.

InN: Breaking the Limits of Solid-State Electronics
Program:	Plán obnovy EÚ
Project leader:	Ing. Kuzmík Ján, DrSc.
Annotation:	The InBreak project follows Horizon 2020 project NANOMAT. NANOMAT aims to inaugurate and establish a new domain of "Flexible (Conformal) Power RF Nanoelectronics" through an ambitious innovative heterogeneous technology platform including organic-based electronics and heat sinks, semiconductor monolithic wide band gap microwave integrated circuits (MMICs), radio frequency microelectromechanical actuators (RF MEMS) and acoustic sensors. In the InBreak project, InN as a unique semiconductor material will be grown as strained channel on a tailored N-polarity InAlN buffer layer. Conventional GaN buffer will be replaced by InAlN with an In molar fraction of 0.7-0.9. We expect that this approach, combined with a thin GaN interlayer between the InAlN barrier and the InN channel, will lead to excellent high-density 2-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) confinement in the epi-structures. Completion of the project will enable HEMTs higher working frequencies and the potential of approaching 6G technology in the (sub)THz band.

Memristívna senzorika pre post-digitálnu elektroniku
Memristive sensorics for post-digital electronics
Program:	Plán obnovy EÚ
Project leader:	Dehghan Mohammad
Annotation:	In-sensor computing is a new paradigm for 21st century electronics inspired by nature. In present-day electronics, all the noisy, unstructured data output by sensors needs to be digitised first for further processing. This may soon become a showstopper given the exponential rise in the amount of sensing devices and data they produce, both in consumer electronics like self-driving vehicles and in the Industrie 4.0 framework. On the other hand, in bio-inspired systems, the sensing and processing are not separate; instead, the sensing nodes directly form synaptic connections in the hardware neural network, where the external stimuli being sensed directly alter the synaptic weight matrix, allowing simple algorithms encoded in the neural network to process the signals into reasonable output in real-time. Under this thesis, the student will learn and understand how to build such a prototypical smart sensing system from scratch, i.e. by depositing, patterning and stacking ultra-thin (~nm) oxide and metal films into the simple sensor and memristor devices and arranging these building blocks into functional sensing neural network matrices on a chip. The expertise acquired will cover nano-fabrication methods with a focus on atomic layer deposition (ALD), material analyses and electrical characterisation techniques, and an understanding of the hardware neural networks based on emerging devices. The thesis will be a part of a wider project, and the student will become a part of our research team. We are looking for creative and dedicated team players, prior experience in related areas is a plus.

Pokročilé nízkotrecie povlaky na báze ultratenkých 2D-TMDC pre extrémne podmienky
Lubrication challenge for ultra-thin advanced 2D-TMDC in extreme conditions
Program:	Plán obnovy EÚ
Project leader:	Mgr. Kozak Andrii, PhD.
Annotation:	The friction, stiction, adhesion, and wear are significantly influenced not only by the chemical and physical properties of the objects in relative motion but also by their shape, dimensions of the interacted area, and environment. Tightening the moving objects to the nanoscale make surface forces dominate the tribological behaviour, and the appearance of additional energy dissipation mechanisms can be observed, which can be critical for the lifetime and reliability of the devices. In turn, the environment renders multi-varied effects on the sliding interface, promoting the structural superlubricity or opposite extremally high friction caused by atomic interactions. The aim of this project is fabrication of low-friction wear-protected surfaces coating system applicable to advanced applications at the nano- and macroscale. Ultrathin coating of new 2D TMDs (PtSe2, MoSe2) will be formed with the aim to investigate their structure evolution during sliding in ambient air, vacuum environment as well as at elevated temperatures. The friction and wear processes on the surface of 2D materials and their interfaces will be systematically analysed by means of nanoscale and macroscale friction analysis. The gained knowledge will be then used to develop new ultrathin materials as a low-friction coating for different type of metal surfaces.

Transit2D – Tranzistory na báze 2D kovových chalkogenidov pripravených teplom podporovanou konverziou
Transistors based on 2D Metal Chalcogenides Grown via Thermally Assisted Conversion
Program:	SRDA
Project leader:	Ing. Ťapajna Milan, PhD.
Annotation:	2D materials can form one-atom-thick sheets with extraordinary properties. One of the most promising classes of2D materials is the transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs). The transition from an indirect to a direct bandgap,when the bulk materials is thinned down to a monolayer, results in unique electrical and optical properties of 2DTMDs. Post-transition metal chalcogenides (PTMCs) represents another interesting group of 2D materials. Thesematerials have wide band gap and, depending on the structure of the material, show anisotropic electrical andoptical properties. The aim of this project is the fabrication of field-effect transistors with metal-oxide-semiconductorgate (MOSFETs) based on selected TMDs and PTMCs compounds and detail analysis of their transport properties.We will focus on large-area few-layer PtSe2 and GaS/GaSe films grown by thermal assisted conversion, i.e.sulfurization and selenization. Based on the existing experiences, structural, chemical and electrical properties ofhorizontally-aligned PtSe2 films prepared by selenization will be optimized, targeting mobilities similar to thoseprepared by mechanical exfoliation. Then, MOSFET technology using both, top-gate as well as bottom-gateapproach will be developed and optimized. Atomic layer deposition and metal-oxide chemical vapor deposition(MOCVD) will be employed for gate oxide growth. GaS/GaSe few-layer films will be prepared by chalcogenization

Veľkoplošná výroba a charakterizácia 2D materiálov
Large-scale production and characterization of 2D materials
Program:	Plán obnovy EÚ
Project leader:	Mgr.Phil. Ahmad Faizan
Annotation:	Two-dimensional (2D) materials, including transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) such as molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) or platinum diselenide (PtSe2), are one of the promising materials and a gateway to modern technologies and optoelectronics. Currently, there is a lot of research that studies fabrication of TMDs by chemical vapour deposition (CVD), which makes the use of these 2D materials in the electronic market feasible. The use of alternative methods such as pulsed laser deposition (PLD) also opens up new possibilities in this field and can provide comparative results to elucidate the growth optimization. The available CVD and PLD systems in IEE SAS will be used to study the fundamental aspect of the growth and properties of TMD materials. For research-related activities, the optimized TMD layers are typically grown on standard 1×1 cm2 substrates. However, from a technological point of view, upscaling the fabrication process is a big challenge. Many times, the deposition conditions (temperature, gas flow, pressure, power, etc.) used for small-scale samples preparation may not work well on a larger scale. Thus, the study and optimization of large-scale (4-inch) fabrication will be a new chapter in this interesting field of 2D materials research. The PhD thesis will be focused mainly on the development of technological procedures for the preparation of precisely defined, homogeneous and reproducible TMD layers on large areas using a newly installed two-zone furnace. In addition, a comprehensive characterization of the surface and bulk properties (including morphological, chemical, optical and opto-electronic properties) of the fabricated 2D materials is also expected.

SUPENKA – Supravodivé energetické káble
Superconducting energy cables
Program:	Plán obnovy EÚ
Project leader:	doc. Ing. Gömöry Fedor, DrSc.
Annotation:	The SUPENKA project follows up the European SCARLET project, the aim of which is to develop a superconducting cable for direct current at medium voltage level of 25-50 kV, which results in the removal of the converter platform (around 10,000 tons of material). Such a solution can be advantageously used, for example, in transmission from a wind turbine farm, where direct current can be directly obtained in the turbine structure at the medium voltage level (25 to 100 kV).The proposed SUPENKA project aims to develop in more detail some aspects of the problem solved in the SCARLET project. In the scientific field, there are two main goals: • C1: Development of a methodology for including the inhomogeneity of superconducting properties in the analysis of the stability of current transmission by a superconducting cable • C2: Verification of the possibilities of cooling superconducting cables with non-traditional cooling media. The basic verification of the methodology on short samples has already taken place, therefore the starting level of the SUPENKA project is in the range of TRL 3-4, and the intention is to reach the level of TRL 5.The SUPENKA project will contribute to the fulfillment of the ambitious climate goals of the EC work program "Sustainable, secure and competitive energy supply" aimed at transforming the energy system and shifting energy supply towards climate neutrality within two areas of influence: • Leading position of European industry in key and new technologies for benefit of people • Affordable and clean energy

Rast a optická charakterizácia 2D materiálov: MoTe2, WTe2, PtTe2
Growth and optical characterization of 2D materials: MoTe2, WTe2, PtTe2
Program:	VEGA
Project leader:	RNDr. Pribusová Slušná Lenka, PhD.
Annotation:	Research of thin-film materials noticed a significant increase, especially since the discovery of graphene, when a wide range of 2D materials began to study. A significant group of 2D materials is transition metal dichalcogenides(TMDs), including MoTe2, WTe2, and PtTe2. These materials have unique optoelectronic properties that varydue to the thickness of the layer and the crystal structure. Electrical properties vary depending on structures, fromsemiconducting to metallic. The preparation of films by tellurization of molybdenum, tungsten, and platinum ismore difficult than sulfurization or selenization due to the weaker redox properties of tellurium. The challenge in thin films is the controlled preparation of the required crystal structure of homogenous large-arealayers. This project aims to contribute to the solution of preparing these materials, characterize their structure and orientation of the films concerning the substrate, and determine the optical parameters and electrical properties.

Moderné elektronické súčiastky na báze ultraširokopásmového polovodiča Ga2O3 pre budúce vysokonapäťové aplikácie
Modern electronic devices based on ultrawide bandgap semiconducting Ga2O3 for future high-voltage applications
Program:	SRDA
Project leader:	Ing. Gucmann Filip, PhD.
Annotation:	Wide bandgap (WBG) semiconductor devices represent one of the key technologies in development of high power and high frequency systems for electric power conversion and telecommunications owing to their fundamental benefit of higher breakdown electric fields, in some cases increased electron mobility, and possibility to form heterostructures and 2D electron gas. GaN and SiC, two typical WBG examples also benefit from moderate values of thermal conductivity allowing for more efficient sinking of generated waste heat, lower channel temperatures, and enhanced device reliability. New emerging semiconductor materials with even higher bandgap energies (Eg>3.4eV) referred to as ultrawide bandgap materials allow for further improvements in high power and high voltage handling solid-state electronic devices. Currently, semiconducting gallium oxide (Ga2O3) is under extensive study and expected to provide base material for rectifying Schottky -gate diodes and field-effect transistors for applications operating in kV range thanks to its good scalability, relatively simple synthesis, availability of native melt-grown substrates, and wide range of achievable n-type doping levels. The main aim of the proposed project constitutes material research and development of technology for epitaxial growth of epitaxial α -,β-, and ε-Ga2O3 layers and for processing of basic unipolar and bipolar electronic devices based on prepared Ga2O3 layers for future high voltage/power applications. Ga2O3 layers will be grown using liquid injection metalorganic chemical vapour deposition on sapphire, and higher thermal conductivity SiC substrates. We also aim to prepare Schottky diodes, FETs, and all-oxide Ga2O3 PN diodes using naturally p-type oxides (e.g. NiO, In2O3, CuO2). Comprehensive structural, electrical, optical, and thermal study of prepared epitaxial layers and devices will be conducted and numerous original, high-impact results are expected to be obtained.

Annotation:	The main aim of the proposed project is to expand the basic knowledge and to master the fabrication technology ofthe advanced nanomembrane AlGaAs/GaAs heterojunction devices for high-performance RF applications.Insufficient removal of the waste heat in electronic devices due to the Joule losses leading to overheating and earlydevice failure often requires foreign, high thermal conductivity substrates to be employed. As opposed to themainstream research of the GaN-based electronic devices prepared directly on sapphire or SiC, proposed GaAsbased devices will be fabricated upon self-supporting heterostructure nanomembranes transferred onto varioussubstrates. It is very timely, original, and desirable approach to extend the utilization of the GaAs-based devicesmaterial potential, as demonstrated by our preliminary results.

TREND – Optimalizácia okrúhleho kábla z vysokoteplotného supravodiča pre pulzné magnetické polia
Optimization of round high-temperature supercnoducting cable for pulse magnetic field
Program:	SRDA
Project leader:	doc. Ing. Gömöry Fedor, DrSc.
Annotation:	The project is focused on an optimization of a cable made of high temperature superconducting tapes wound on acore in form of a tube with the possibility of cooling the cable by the coolant flowing through the former. Thepurpose of the optimization is a significant decrease of AC losses, which can be achieved through threemodifications of the cable. The first one is to reduce the width of the 4 mm superconducting tape down to 1 mmwith steps smaller than 0.2 mm. The tuning of the tape width should allow to prepare the cables with optimalpacking of the cable layers and with greater flexibility. The second modification is an additional narrowing of thesuperconductor width by striation scribing the superconducting layer along the tape with already optimized width.Both processes require a development of a suitable method for the cutting and scribing process of thesuperconducting tapes with minimal impact on their mechanical, structural and electrical properties. The thirdmodification is the innovation of the central former, which should fulfill requirement of significantly reduced electricalconductivity. Modified superconducting tapes and cables prepared from them will be characterized in terms ofmechanical and electromagnetic properties. Most of the experiments will be supported by computer modeling.

We will search for the optimal shape of a magnetic 3D pattern with polarity easily controlledby a small in-plane magnetic field. In the second part of the project, we will design and prepare a system ofordered magnetic nanoelements in the vortex state set by an in-plane magnetic field. Such ordered nanoelementscan be considered as a single unit cell of the magnonic crystal. They can be also periodically arranged into afinite 2D array of interacting magnetic objects to observe the unidirectional spin waves. Therefore, ourinvestigation will be an important step towards the first experimental demonstration of topological magnons.

Annotation:	Intensive research has so far been done into metallic contacts to semiconductors. However, new types ofconductivity, materials and devices, and new contact formation mechanisms require new insights into theformation of such contacts. Our aim is to determine the processes and physics behind metallization schemes fornormally-off InAlN-based heterostructure high electron mobility transistors with hole conductivity. InAlN with ahigh molar fraction of InN will be doped with Mg, and the ohmic and Schottky metallic stacks will be optimized. New transition metal dichalkogenide materials (TMDCs) are very promising for new device applications. However,metallization schemes for TMDCs are very challenging. TMDCs exhibit varying band gap widths in dependenceof their thickness. Our aim is to study metallization schemes for TMDCs, their topology, and explain differences between ex-foliated and grown samples, and differences between back-gated and top-gated devices in correlation with basic TMDCs properties.

The contribution will be also in the simulation due to optimization of size and thickness of sensor contacts and passivation. The prepared structures will be characterized by electrical (curren-voltage and capacitance-voltage measurements) and spectrometric measurements using standartly used radioisotope sources. Also radiation hardness of samples will be tested (increased temperature, ionizing environment).

TMD2DCOR – Metalické 2D dichalkogenidy prechodných kovov: príprava, štúdium vlastností a korelované stavy
Fabrication, physics and correlated states in metallic 2D transition metal dichalcogenides
Program:	SRDA
Project leader:	Dr. rer. nat. Hulman Martin
Annotation:	The discovery of graphene in 2004 has brought a massive interest of scientists active in condensed-matter physicson research of 2D materials. Even though these materials have a long history starting already in the twenties of the20th century, the past years have seen an intensive renascence of interest in 2D materials. Ultra-thin samples ofmany 2D materials have been successfully prepared with electronic properties that may exhibit correlatedelectronic phenomena such as charge density waves and superconductivity. One of the well-studied families of the2D materials are transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs). TMDs consist of hexagonal layers of metal atomssandwiched between two layers of chalcogen atoms with a MX2 stoichiometry.In this project, we focus on those materials from the TMD family that exhibit strongly correlated electronic states:NbSe2, TiSe2, TaS2, TaSe2 and PtSe2. The goal of the project is to prepare ultrathin (≤ 10 nm) layers and bulksamples and characterise them thoroughly in terms of the thickness, crystallinity, homogeneity, optical andelectronic properties. A special attention will be paid to charge density wave states and superconductivity in thesematerials and how they evolve with the sample thickness, doping, external electric and magnetic fields and detailsof the growth process.The scientific program also aims at preparing heterostructures built up of these materials as well as hybrid systemscombining TMDs with other materials. This research also includes a detailed characterisation of heterostructures toprovide a feedback to optimise the growth process.

These methods will be compared to experiments in the relevant temperature range for motor applications.

Vertikálny GaN MOSFET pre výkonové spínacie aplikácie
Vertical GaN MOSFET for power switching applications
Program:	SRDA
Project leader:	Ing. Kuzmík Ján, DrSc.
Annotation:	Owing the ever growing demand for the energy volume, energy attainability represents one of the most important issues of today’s society. However, there are great reserves in the energy savings available. According to available analyses, more than 10% of all electricity is ultimately lost in the form of conversion losses. Clearly, even partial improvement in the conversion efficiency can have strong economic impact. As the most of energy is now used for the electronics, corresponding scale of the losses forms at the end-user side, where the electricity is converted into a form suitable for a particular appliance. The main effort towards the conversion efficiency improvements therefore targets the area of power AC/DC and DC/DC converters for consumer and industrial electronics. Significant improvement in the conversion efficiency can be achieved by using GaN based transistors, as they are capable to operate at much higher frequencies with almost three times lower switching losses compared to Si devices.The main goal of the project is the research and development of vertical GaN MOSFET without using p-doping, and gaining the original knowledge on electrical and physical properties of the developed devices. From the quantitative point of view, our proof-of-concept device will target RON<2 mOhm/cm2 and VBD>600 V. An original feature of the proposed concept is utilization of the semi-insulating (SI) GaN as a channel layer (instead of p-type GaN), which blocks the current flow through the transistor at zero gate voltage. To open the transistor channel, positive voltage applied to the gate will be needed to induce down bend-bending in the SI GaN, allowing electron injection from the source to the drift region (along the side walls of SI GaN). This concept therefore represents a unipolar enhancement-mode transistor, while drift region is formed of un-doped GaN with extremely low density of dislocation grown directly on GaN substrate.

Program:	VEGA
Project leader:	Ing. Tóbik Jaroslav, PhD.
Annotation:	The subject of micro-magnetism studies are phenomena which are possible to describe on classicallevel of the theory. Micromagnetism describes processes in devices like bit-patterned media in harddisks,magnetic memories, magnetic radio-waves detectors, or bio and medical applications. Typicaldimensions of the devices active parts are order from micro-meter to few nanometers. Typical operationtemperature is room temperature. Usual model for these condition is classical physics. The mainproblem of the magnetic state stability simulation is the time-scale on which the magnetic statetypically persist. The magnetic state in memories is stable for years. There are several effectivealgorithms for finding lowest energy paths among metastable states. In order to search for stablemagnetic states effectively, we decided to implement matadynamics algoritm into micro-magneticsolvers.

Pokročilé III-N súčiastky pre prenos informácie a energie
Advanced III-N devices for energy and information transfer

Project leader:	Ing. Kuzmík Ján, DrSc.
Annotation:	Gallium Nitride (GaN) and related compounds commonly referred as III-N have significantly more flexible energy gap, higher breakdown electric field intensity, a large spontaneous polarization, high thermal and radiation resistance, but also the high mobility of electrons. Therefore there is an effort to develop III-N semiconductor devices, mainly HFETs, which have the potential to gradually replace Si, Si/SiGe, GaAs and InP devices in microwave and power applications, switches, switching amplifiers, logic circuits and mixed-signal electronics. Consequently, in this manner we aspire to develop HFETs with InN channel for ultra-fast information transfer, advanced GaN-based transistor switches for energy conversion, technology of GaN-based fast mixed-signal electronics, and GaN-based UV sensors for space applications.

MAPKO – Magnetické plášte z kompozitov supravodič/feromagnetikum
Magnetic cloaks from superconductor/ferromagnet composites
Program:	SRDA
Project leader:	doc. Ing. Gömöry Fedor, DrSc.
Annotation:	Realization of a magnetic cloak allowing to hide objects from being observed by a magnetic detector enables the experimental study of several fundamental problems of electromagnetism as well as the searching for innovative solutions of practical problems of magnetic field shielding and shaping. Main aim of the project is the development of methods for design and realization of magnetic cloaks that would provide the possibility to investigate these topics. Basic property we will pursue is the magnetic invisibility when a detector placed outside the cloak will not notice the cloak itself nor a “magnetic cargo” it would contain. Theoretical predictions for reaching perfect invisibility assume unrealistic properties of the used materials and work with ideal and simple shapes without any limitation of dimensions. That is why an important part of the project will be the search and testing of new numerical modelling methods able to include these substantial aspects of real objects. With help of these novel methods we plan to demonstrate the 99% perfection in magnetic invisibility at frequencies from DC to 1000 Hz. Our research could help to reach the following goals: a) Creation of space for experiments in biology shielding the Earth magnetic field as well as that produced in urban environment. Room temperature cylindrical space with at least 50 mm diameter and 150 mm height should allow easy sample exchange and manipulation. b) Design and manufacturing of the cloak for magnetic fields in the 0.1 T range with the volume exceeding 1000 cm3 for the purpose of protecting a sensitive electronic circuitry or e.g. formation of working space for DC arc welding in vicinity of electrical machines generating the stray field at this level. c) Investigation of force exerted on the cloak by a non-uniform magnetic field, in particular the possibility of a magnetic propulsion with help of controlling the magnetic moment of the superconductor/ferromagnet composite.

Physical problems of MISFET and MISHFET structures based on III-V and III-N semiconductors
Program:	VEGA
Project leader:	Ing. Osvald Jozef, DrSc.
Annotation:	The project is oriented towards physical problems of III-V and III-N semiconductors. Many problems with these semiconductors are not solved yet or we have not their technological solution. Among these questions we may name in first the problems connected with the physics and chemistry of an interface between a semiconductor and a dielectric, solving of which is crucial for quality of this interface. The density of interface states of the prepared samples and structures depends directly on the solution of these problems and a possible presence of Fermi level pinning at the semiconductor surface, too. By III-V MISFET structures we want to study frequency dependence of capacitance curves. There are theories that in accumulation a dispersion of the capacitance is caused by a low density of states at the bottom of the conduction band and that the capacitance increase in inversion is connected with the states in the middle of the gap. We shall try to verify these theories or maybe modify them on the basis of the obtained results.

Project leader:	Dr. rer. nat. Hulman Martin
Annotation:	Two-dimensional (2D) materials have been one of the most extensively studied classes of materials due to their unusual physical properties. The best example is graphene – a single layer of carbon atoms arranged in a two dimensional (2D) honeycomb lattice. Many graphene´s extraordinary properties have been reported including excellent electronic and thermal conductivities and mechanical properties. Its discovery has also stimulated an extensive research on other 2D materials. It has been shown that it is not only possible to exfoliate stable, single-atom thick 2D materials, but that these materials can exhibit unique and fascinating physical properties. The 2D structure determines the electronic properties that may exhibit correlated electronic phenomena such as charge density waves and superconductivity. In this project, we focus on preparation of ultrathin (< 10 nm) films and monolayers of materials from the family of transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs). The goal is to prepare those layers on a centimetre-large scale. For that, pulsed laser deposition and magnetron sputtering are the methods of our choice. As-prepared layers will then be thoroughly characterised in terms of their thickness, crystallinity, homogeneity, optical and electrical properties. As a next logical step, we will proceed in preparation of heterostructures and hybrids – systems where different TMDs materials and TMDs and graphene or graphene oxide are stacked on top of each other, respectively.

Kompozitný supravodič MgB2 na báze difúznej metódy
Composite superconductor MgB2 made by internal Mg diffusion
Program:	VEGA
Project leader:	Ing. Kováč Pavol, DrSc.
Annotation:	The goal of this project is to prepare superconducting wire (filament) using new method of diffusion of magnesium (IMD) into the boron layer. The usability of this method is regarded by resulting very high density of superconducting part in the composite. One of the purpose is to optimize the IMD technique in that way, that dense MgB2 wire reach very high critical current density Jc comparing to older techniques (ex situ, in situ). We can expect improvement of important technical parameters like critical current density in low magnetic fields (< 3 Tesla) and critical temperature to be competitive also for low temperature superconductors (Nb3Sn, NbTi, Nb3Al …), having another advantage of more efficient cooling technique without the liquid helium.

Pinning v komerčných coated vodičoch
Pinning in commercial coated conductors
Program:	SASPRO
Project leader:	Mgr. Seiler Eugen, PhD
Annotation:	The project will investigate pinning mechanisms in commercial ReBCO coated conductors coming from different industrial producers. Different manufacturing processes incorporate various kinds of pinning centers into functional superconducting layers of these conductors and as a consequence a very diverse mixture of pinning centers with dissimilar strength dependence on temperature and magnetic field can be found. Main focus will be on the temperature and magnetic field range interesting for applications in electric machinery (electric motors, generators, transformers, etc.) – temperatures 65 K to 77 K and fields 0 to 5 T. The aim is to identify which of the pinning mechanism is the most effective in the temperature and field domain of our interest and develop experimental techniques for its classification and description. Scaling of the critical current density and of the depinning activation energy with temperature and applied magnetic field will be experimentally characterized for all the commercial ReBCO coated conductors considered. At first the experiments in a broad range of available temperatures (4.2 K to 77 K) and applied magnetic fields (0 to 14 T) will be performed, focusing in the second stage on the domain perspective for the electric machinery applications. The experimental results will be compared with the predictions of available pinning models in order to determine and distinguish the different pinning mechanisms. Project combines experimental activity with application and development of theoretical models. Basic experimental techniques will be magnetization loop measurements and magnetic relaxation measurements in the Vibrating Sample Magnetometer, combined with transport measurements of current-voltage characteristics at various orientations of applied magnetic field.

Senzory na báze nosníkových štruktúr
Cantilever based sensors
Program:	VEGA
Project leader:	Ing. Šoltýs Ján, PhD
Annotation:	Cantilever-based sensors are used for the detection of physical, chemical, and biological analytes. In principle, every external perturbation of magnetic, electrical, thermal, or chemical origin can be transducted into mechanical motion. A cantilever deflection can be measured with extremely high sensitivity and selectivity. The project aims to develop new techniques for modification of commercial scanning force probes and to produce new cantilever-based sensors. The key enabling technology of the novel sensors is focus ion beam ablation and on-chip electron beam lithography. Application of such techniques in cantilever sensing opens new functionalities of the cantilever, which can be used for sensor applications and research purposes in physics and biomedicine.

Tepelno-elektrická stabilita supravodičov pri nekonvenčných spôsoboch chladenia
Thermo-electrical stability of superconductors in unconventional cooling conditions
Program:	SASPRO
Project leader:	Ing. Vojenčiak Michal, PhD.
Annotation:	Superconductors are materials with strongly non-linear current-voltage characteristic. When the transported electrical current is below the critical value they exhibit zero resistance, while at higher currents their resistance is high. Latter regime is associated with energy dissipation and temperature increase; it can lead to the temperature excursion causing a damage of superconducting material. Stability of the superconducting wire describes how big is the margin against transition to nonsuperconducting state and whether it will be followed by a material degradation. In this project we investigate the stability in conditions representing the situation typical for two configurations: the fault current limiter and the cable for a coil winding.
