Organic ferroelectric thin films combine ferroelectric functionality with the key advantages of organic materials. This makes them highly attractive for next-generation electronic and electromechanical elements in devices that are flexible, lightweight, and...

The research program “Thin films and plasma-surface engineering” is among the largest Slovenian programs in technical sciences, currently involving about 20 researchers and 10 young researchers, technicians, or engineers. It is renowned worldwide for its scientific...

Our research focuses on plasma characterization using catalytic probes, optical emission spectroscopy, VUV spectroscopy, laser absorption spectroscopy, and mass spectrometry. We design and construct all of our plasma systems. We work with RF, MW and pulsed DC...

About the Programme The PhD candidate will join the Biophysics Group at the Department of Theoretical Physics (F-1), which focuses on understanding the physics of biological processes at both the tissue and molecular scales. The group also has an extensive network of...

Liquid crystal elastomers (LCEs) are a material that combines the self-ordering properties of liquid crystals with the elasticity of a polymer network. The result is an elastic material that can reversibly change shape in response to an external stimulus, such as...

The doctoral candidate will develop a quantum theory for the strong light-matter coupling in many-body quantum systems, such as a density charge wave or exciton insulators, in a cavity with a confined electromagnetic field.

The Jožef Stefan Institute has recently become a full member of the LHCb collaboration at CERN. LHCb is a specialised spectrometer for studying hadrons containing heavy quarks (b and c), enabling precise measurements of CP violation, rare decays, and searches for...

Ferroelectric nematics, recently discovered, exhibit spontaneous polarization and nonlinear optical properties comparable to ferroelectric solids, while being fluid. This unique combination of fluidity, i.e. tunability and processability, and polarity unlocks exciting...

Nonequilibrium quantum phenomena are a rapidly developing field of research, both experiment and theory. They arise in very different areas of physics, ranging from electronic quantum materials and magnetism to cosmology, with similar concepts arising in their...

Quantum technologies are based on exploiting the principles of quantum mechanics to develop advanced devices such as quantum computers, communication systems, and sensors. To fully realize their potential, it is essential to achieve reliable transmission and exchange...
