Physics and Materials Engineering

Research Group: Physics and Materials Engineering 

The Physics and Materials Engineering Group focuses on developing new materials for applications including space technology. Utilizing wet chemistry techniques and nanomaterial technologies, the group synthesizes materials with unique physicochemical properties. Among its key achievements is the development of ultra-transparent ceramics resistant to high temperatures, based on Y₂O₃ (yttria) and MgO (magnesia).

They have published numerous studies on Tb₂O₃ (terbium oxide), MgAl₂O₄ (magnesium aluminate spinel), rare-earth garnets, and dielectric materials based on sodium–potassium niobate with luminescent properties, among others. Their experimental research aims to deepen the understanding of physical and chemical processes occurring in condensed-phase structures, with particular emphasis on optical, magneto-optical, luminescent, and quantum phenomena in ceramic materials with perovskite and spinel structures.

To achieve their research objectives, they design and build precision measurement systems, including magneto-optical microscopes, spectrofluorometers, and confocal microscopes, enabling detailed characterization of newly developed materials and their functional properties. Thanks to their interdisciplinary expertise in solid-state physics, electronics, and materials engineering, they develop comprehensive solutions tailored to specific applications.

They aim to support a wide range of research and implementation projects and actively invite collaboration with other researchers and industry partners. They cooperate with leading institutions in Poland and abroad, including universities, research units of the Polish Academy of Sciences, and private enterprises. They conduct joint research projects and have authored numerous scientific publications.
