A thin TiO2 semiconductor layer embedded between two metal electrodes is known to work as a memory cell, the famous memristor. To work as a memristor, the structure is formed by soft breakdown which creates a conducting nano-filament penetrating through the poorly conducting TiO2 and connecting the electrodes conductively. Previous works determined the number of…
Ex-situ MgB2 wires, specifically wires manufactured by ASG (see Figure 1), are considered for a cable design, in the frame of European project SCARLET. This project aims to develop industrial level superconducting cables capable of carrying DC current of 20 kA which is cooled by liquid hydrogen to 20 K. Inserting a superconducting cable in…

Between June 15–18, 2025, the 13th edition of the international conference Advances in Electronic and Photonic Technologies (ADEPT 2025) took place in Podbanské. The conference is organized by the Faculty of Electrical Engineering of the University of Žilina, the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Information Technology of STU in Bratislava, in cooperation with the Institute…
Molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) is a layered material which can be prepared in the form of monolayer or few-layer films. It is extensively studied due to its intriguing properties and wide range of possible applications. The layered materials have the ability to intercalate atoms and cations into their van der Waals gaps. The intercalation is one…
Magnesium diboride (MgB2) is a promising superconductor for many applications. One of the advantages of this material, is that it is possible to join single or multi-core MgB2 wires using MgB2 joint, obtaining a connection with very low or zero electrical resistance suitable for persistent mode operation of devices, such as high field superconductor magnets….
Colleagues from the gallium oxide group led by Dr Filip Gucmann in cooperation with the HUN-REN Centre for Energy Research and Łukasiewicz – Institute of Microelectronics and Photonics have organised two-day workshop on WBG/UWBG #semiconductor materials and devices in Budapest to disseminate the results achieved during the implementation of the CUBES project funded by the…
Silicon carbide (chemical name silicon carbide, SiC) is a promising semiconductor material suitable for use as an ionizing radiation detector. It is highly radiation resistant and also chemically and thermally stable. Due to their advantageous properties, SiC-based sensors are mainly applicable in environments with high temperature and also ionizing radiation intensity. We prepared pixel sensors…
High-temperature superconductors, such as Magnesium diboride (MgB2), are enabling materials for building state-of-the-art high-field magnets, which will provide new findings in many fields of physics. One of the hurdles in the development of superconducting magnets is a “persistent switch”. Persistent switch is a joint in superconducting magnet, which after cooling down to cryogenic temperatures lowers…
