It serves as a platform for the exchange of information and ideas among the laboratories of the Institute over the years. Scientific topics discussed encompass the physics and technology of AlInGaN semiconductor quantum structures, particularly within the realm of light emitters. Epitaxy, device processing and theoretical modelling will be highlighted for better understanding of the underlying physics and paving the way to novel concepts realization both in optoelectronics and nitride-based electronics. This year, we will host many prominent nitride experts:
Featured Article on defect levels in β-Ga2O3 crystalsTuesday, 18 February 2025 12:14 |
The Editors of Applied Physics Letters featured recently published article resulting from the collaboration of the Institute of High Pressure Physics PAS (Warsaw) and Leibniz-Institut fur Kristallzuchtung (Berlin). P. Kruszewski, A. Fiedler, Z. Galazka; The electric field influence on EC-0.18 eV electron trap level in (100)-oriented β-Ga2O3 crystals grown by the Czochralski method. Appl. Phys. Lett. 126 (6): 062110, 2025. https://doi.org/10.1063/5.0251567 In this study, we have shown that the electron trap level typically observed at Ec-0.18 eV in Czochralski-grown β-Ga2O3 crystals is actually a superposition of two distinct electron levels with closely matched activation energies, specifically Ec-0.196 eV and Ec-0.209 eV. Moreover, both trap states were found to be donors. This significant finding was achieved using the high-resolution Laplace DLTS technique, combined with carefully optimized experimental conditions.
WBCGE 2025Tuesday, 11 February 2025 22:46 |
The Polish Society for Crystal Growth (PTWK) is pleased to invite all scientists involved in bulk crystal growth, epitaxy and characterization to the Workshop on Bulk Crystal Growth and Epitaxy (WBCGE), that will take place at our Institute (IWC PAN) in Warsaw on May 15-16, 2025. WBCGE Workshop will be chaired by Prof. Michał Leszczyński (PTWK President, IWC PAN) and Prof. Dorota Pawlak (CEO of Ensemble3). It will be an excellent opportunity for scientific development, as well as to expand the network of contacts in the rapidly developing field of crystal growth and epitaxy.

ICSM 2025 conferenceWednesday, 05 March 2025 10:57 |
10th International Conference on Superconductivity and Magnetism - ICSM 2025 will be held in Fethiye-Oludeniz, Turkey from 26th April to 3rd May 2025. This conference will cover a wide range of physics topics, including superconductivity, magnetism, and quantum materials and technological communities, and create networking opportunities and strengthen connections between all career levels. This year again, Dr. Shiv Singh from our Institute is organizing a special session: “Advances in Iron-based Superconductors: Growth, fundamental and applied research”. You can find more details about this session here. Furthermore, in this conference, Dr. Shiv Singh will have an invited talk entitled "Impurity Effects on the Superconducting Properties of Stoichiometric CaKFe4As4 by Conventional and High-pressure Growth Methods”. Recently, Dr. Singh’s research team has proved that the high-pressure growth technique can be an effective method to enhance the superconducting properties of high-Tc superconductors as well as the sample quality. More details about the program and the speakers can be found here.
Together for spinal implantsMonday, 24 February 2025 12:51 |
We are pleased to announce the signing of the agreement with Syntropiq regarding the improvement of spinal implants, including the use of the technology developed in the Institute of High Pressure Physics PAS, presented in the attached leaflet. Syntropiq manufactures and markets novel technology and devices for spinal interbody fusion procedures. Complex spinal implants from the elemental titanium powder are produced using advanced additive manufacturing. The Laboratory of Nanostructures of our Institute has developed an innovative technology for the synthesis of hydroxyapatite nanoparticles and the technology for nanohydroxyapatite layer fabrication. Thanks to an innovative method of sonochemical nanoparticle deposition we can apply coatings on materials such as titanium, ceramics, glass, polymers, as well as temperature-sensitive biodegradable polymers. The results of in-vivo studies showed that the application of GoHAPTM nanoparticles layer on the polymer implant highly accelerated the bone defect overgrowth process. The joint effort undertaken by Syntropiq and Institute of High Pressure Physics PAS will improve the spinal implants.

We cooperate for innovative food processingThursday, 13 February 2025 11:02 |
Cold pressing is the food preservation method with the aid of high pressure. It allows to extend its shelf life without the need to use preservatives. The food preserves its nutritional value and taste that is the greatest advantage of cold pressing method over heat treatment. It is crucial especially in the case of juices, vegetables, fruits, meat and other products. On February 5, 2025, a letter of intent was signed in Piotrków Trybunalski initiating cooperation between the Institute of High Pressure Physics of the Polish Academy of Sciences, the Łukasiewicz Research Network - Łódź Institute of Technology and the Piotrków Academy in the field of developing innovative processing technologies that will increase the shelf-life of food products based on high-pressure methods. Under the signed agreement, the Institute of High Pressure Physics PAS will build a modern cold pressure equipment, which will be used, among others, by students at the technical and agricultural faculty at the Piotrków Academy. Łukasiewicz – Łódź Institute of Technology brings to the project experience in research on technologies for the food industry, having modern laboratory facilities and expert scientific staff. The cooperation agreement was signed by: dr hab. Jacek Bonarek, prof. AP - Rector of the Piotrków Academy, prof. Michał Boćkowski - Director of the Institute of High Pressure Physics PAS, Hubert Cichocki - President of the Łukasiewicz Center and dr hab. Marcin Górski - President of the Łukasiewicz Research Network - Łódź Institute of Technology.
WOCSDICE - EXMATEC 2025Monday, 27 January 2025 13:02 |
WOCSDICE - EXMATEC combines the 48th Workshop on Compound Semiconductor Devices and Integrated Circuits (WOCSDICE) with the 19th Workshop on Evaluation and Control of Compound Semiconductor Materials and Technologies (EXMATEC). It will take place at Cádiz, Spain, from 16 to 20 June 2025. Prof. Mike Leszczyński serves as a member of the Steering Committee for this scientific meeting. WOCSDICE is much more than a conference, it is a tradition that brings together the brightest minds from around the world to explore the future of compound semiconductors. With EXMATEC joining this event, it has become a meeting point where seasoned experts and young talents share discoveries, collaborate on groundbreaking ideas, and ignite the spark of innovation. Together, we celebrate not only science but also the passion, creativity, and connections that drive us forward.
