Bilayer materials are receiving a lot of attention due to their two-dimensional nature and promising applications in, e.g., optoelectronics. A recent paper, co-authored by A. Slobodeniuk, presents optical properties of MoS₂ with one layer turned against the other.

Kondo temperature is the main parameter that determines transport properties of magnetic molecules attached to metallic electrodes. We have resolved the ambiguity in the determination of this parameter in our recent paper, which is also featured on the faculty web

Correct phase diagrams of strongly correlated systems, e.g., high temperature superconductors or spintronics materials, are important roadmaps for future applications. However, because of their complexity and the fact that we might not even know all of the phases of a particular system, their construction is a complicated and often cumbersome task. Yet, it does not have to be if we entrust it into the hands of a new machine learning method introduced in the recent PRResearch paper coauthored by Martin Žonda.

Wonderful news! Our PhD student Alžběta Kadlecová is the only Czech coauthor on a recent article published in Physical Review Letters. In a collaboration with Université Paris-Saclay, a surprising decrease of the AC Josephson current in a carbon nanotube quantum dot is studied. Congratulations, Alžběta!
