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.
IXth Winter Workshop Kalatówki 2025 on Physics and Applications of Nitride Semiconductors will be organized on March 23-28, 2023in Zakopane (Poland).
The Winter Workshop Kalatówki gathers researchers from the Institute of High Pressure Physics Polish Academy of Sciences and from the collaborating scientific institutes. 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:
Prof. Tomasz Czyszanowski (Lodz University of Technology),
Prof. Marta Gładysiewicz-Kudrawiec (Wroclaw University of Technology),
Dr. Carsten Richter (Leibniz-Institut für Kristallzüchtung),
Prof. Ulrich Theodor Schwarz (Technische Universität Chemnitz),
Prof. Anna Szerling (Institute of Microelectronics and Photonics, Łukasiewicz Reseach Network),
Prof. Henryk Teisseyre (Institute of Physics of the Polish Academy of Sciences)
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).
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.
The 2025 Materials Research Society Spring Meeting and Exhibit is a forum for materials scientists from around the world. It will be held April 7-11 in Seattle, Washington, USA. The 2025 MRS Spring Meeting will feature 67 symposia and 11 tutorials on topics related to currently developing technologies for various materials.
Our colleague dr hab. inż. Julita Smalc-Koziorowska,prof. IWC PAN from the NL-12 Semiconductor Characterization Laboratory will give an invited lecture “Developing InGaN Pseudo-substrates for Tailoring Red and Longer Wavelength Nitride-Based Devices” as part of the EL-11 symposium “Wide and Ultra-Wide Bandgap Materials, Devices and Applications”.
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.
The International Conference on Nitride Semiconductors ICNS-15 will be held in Malmö in Sweden from July 6-11, 2025.
ICNS-15 will present high-impact scientific and technological advances in materials and devices based on group-III nitride semiconductors, and feature plenary sessions, parallel topical sessions, poster sessions and an industrial exhibition. The conference is chaired by Vanya Darakchieva, Lars Samuelson and Piotr Perlin.
ICNS-15 will celebrate the achievements of Profs. Bo Monemar and Tadek Suski as honorary chairs.
One of the Plenary Speakers is prof. Mike Boćkowski with a talk “Cracking the Code of GaN Crystal Growth: Advances, Challenges and the Road Ahead”.
The deadline for abstract submission is March 10, 2025.
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.
