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).

Príprava, charakterizácia a dopovanie ultratenkých vrstiev dichalkogenidov prechodných kovov
Fabrication, characterization, and doping of ultra-thin layers of transition metal dichalcogenides
Program: VEGA
Project leader: Mgr. Sojková Michaela, PhD.
Annotation: Thanks to the unusual physical properties, 2D materials have been intensively studied for several years. Aninteresting group of this class of materials is transition metal dichalcogenides TMD. They have a hexagonalstructure with the individual layers bonded to each other only by weak Van der Waals bonds. This causessignificantly anisotropic properties and has a significant effect on their electronic structure. Some of them showphysically interesting correlated states (superconductivity, charge density waves). The primary goal of this projectis to prepare and study the properties of thin layers of 2 different TMD – MoS2 and PtSe2, and to study theinfluence of doping with Li and Na cations on the electrical and structural properties of these layers. Thesecondary goal is to optimize growth and doping conditions to improve the parameters of thin films, such aselectrical conductivity and charge carrier mobility which will enable the preparation of functional electroniccomponents – transistors.
