IHPP PAS at ISGN-8 Friday, 31 October 2025 12:03 |
Researchers from the Institute of High Pressure Physics, Polish Academy of Sciences (IWC PAS / Unipress) will take part in the 8th International Symposium on Growth of III-Nitrides (ISGN-8), held at National Cheng Kung University in Tainan, Taiwan, on 9–12 November 2025. The Institute’s Director, prof. Michał Boćkowski, will deliver an invited lecture in Session S1 “III-N Bulk Crystal Growth,” titled “The Science and Art of GaN Crystal Growth.” This year ISGN-8 will also inaugurate the Iwińska Award – Best Student Presentation, established in memory of Dr. Małgorzata Iwińska (1985–2024), a brilliant GaN-growth specialist from IWC PAS. The award—sponsored by IWC PAS—recognizes excellence among student presenters and commemorates Dr. Iwińska’s scientific achievements and support for young researchers.
Jaszowiec 2026Thursday, 30 October 2025 19:31 |
54th International School & Conference on the Physics of Semiconductors "Jaszowiec 2026" will be held on June 13-19, 2026, in Szczyrk, Poland. For over half a century, the Jaszowiec Conference has been connecting the national scientific community with leading international researchers, fostering collaborations, inspiring joint projects, and nurturing lasting friendships worldwide. The 54th edition will begin with a two-day tutorial School (June 13-14, 2026) chaired by Dr. hab. inż. Michał Baranowski from Wroclaw University of Science and Technology. The School is dedicated to graduate students and young scientists. It will be followed by the Conference (June 15-19, 2026) chaired by Prof. dr hab. Piotr Perlin from the Institute of High Pressure Physics PAS. The program will cover cutting-edge topics such as quantum and low-dimensional systems, light-matter interaction, magnetism and spin phenomena, devices and applications, and growth and characterization - presented through plenary lectures, topical sessions, and evening discussions for early-career researchers. The 54th edition will also include industrial lectures, an exhibition, and job fair for students. Stay tuned for information about abstract submission.
Polish-German Weave-UNISONO project for the research on iron-based superconducting thin filmsWednesday, 22 October 2025 10:54 |
Scientists from the Institute of High Pressure Physics Polish Academy of Sciences (IHPP PAS) and the Karlsruhe Institute for Technology (KIT) have received a Weave-UNISONO grant for research on iron-based superconductors (FBS). The results of the project call have been just announced by National Science Center. The Polish team, led by Dr. hab. Shiv Jee Singh from IHPP PAS, and the German team, led by Dr. Jens Hänisch from KIT, will combine their knowledge and skills to develop a unique method for the fabrication of new and improved properties FBS layers by the synergy of conventional thin-film deposition techniques with high-pressure techniques. FBS superconductors bridge the gap between high-temperature copper-based superconductors and classic low-temperature superconductors. Determining phase diagrams and understanding the correlation between fabrication conditions and properties is crucial for fundamental research, as well as for harnessing the potential of these materials in practical applications. The project details are summarized in the abstract. More information about the Weave-UNISONO competition can be found at the NCN website link. The Weave-UNISONO competition is open on an ongoing basis. Funding is available for collaborations with partners from Austria, the Czech Republic, Slovenia, Switzerland, Germany, Luxembourg, and Belgium-Flanders.
GaN4AP project final press releaseWednesday, 08 October 2025 10:44 |
We are happy to share the press release summarizing the GaN4AP project that focused on harnessing the unique properties of GaN to create more efficient, reliable, and high-performance power systems. GaN for Advanced Power Applications (GaN4AP) involved 36 project partners: private companies, universities, and public research organizations from 6 European countries. The Institute of High Pressure Physics PAS contributed to the developemnt of high-quality bulk GaN substrates, key-enabling element of the novel architecture vertical power devices. The European project GaN4AP (Gallium Nitride for Advanced Power Applications) was launched in June 2021 as part of the EU’s H2020-ECSEL-2020-1-IA initiative. It was funded by the Chips JU Public-Private Partnership and by the National Authorities and it has significantly advanced the field of power conversion systems, marking a key milestone in the global energy transition.
