Ceramic precursors of hafnium mixed oxides used in single crystal growth by 

Optical Floating Zone

Hafnium oxides have a remarkably high material density and effective proton number; both properties are important for hard radiation capture. Unfortunately, these properties also mean high melting points, which means that single crystals can be prepared only by crucible-less methods. One such method is melting in optical furnace, for which the student will be preparing ceramic preforms. This work is a collaboration with the Institute of Physics of the Czech Academy of Sciences and IKZ Berlin.

Preparation and study of new alkali-lead halide single crystals for scintillation and laser applications 

Halogen matrices, undoped or rare-earth-doped, will be grown by micro-pulling-down and vertical Bridgeman methods. These materials are currently studied for their suitable optical properties with a broad application potential, including scintillators, lasers, light convertors etc. This work is a collaboration with the Institute of Physics of the Czech Academy of Sciences.

Thin films of optically active perovskite-like phases for the construction of magneto-optical or electro-optical composites

The aim of this work is to optimize the growth of perovskite phases doped with rare earths and to synthesize heterogeneous structures, for instance with nano-diamond.

This work is a collaboration with the research group of assoc. prof. Nekvindová.

Perovskite-like oxides synthesized by Spark Plasma Sintering

Cubic materials based on perovskites doped with d- and f-elements are promising luminescence materials due to their properties. This work focuses on preparation of oxides by means of SPS. Various methods of synthesis of precursor powders will be tested: co-precipitation, sol-gel, hydrothermal growth. This work is a collaboration with the Institute of Physics of the Czech Academy of Sciences.

Single-crystal growth of scintilation materials and their characterization

This work is focused on preparation of scintillators based on multicomponent garnets doped with Ce or Pr that will eventually be grown as single crystals by micro-pulling-down (mPD). The research will aim at incorporating ions that can affect the density of the material and also the band gap width and luminescent and scintillating properties. This work is a collaboration with the Institute of Physics of the Czech Academy of Sciences.

Synthesis of Li-based mixed oxides applicable in neutrons detection

or

Multicomponent silicate or borate structures applicable in the detection of thermal neutrons

Both works will focus on the synthesis and testing of mixed oxides of lithium or boron that can be prepared as single crystals and used for the construction of thermal neutrons detector. Alternatively, these lithium- or boron-based materials can be prepared as dense ceramics by SPS. This work is a collaboration with the Institute of Physics of the Czech Academy of Sciences.

Ferrite ceramics (doped with lanthanides) sintered by SPS technology

The aim of this work is the synthesis and characterization of nanopowders based on the Fe-Co-X-O system. These precursors will be then sintered by the SPS technology. This work also comprises structure and magnetic analysis.
