Advanced Functional Materials Group
...actively forming since 2022 @Faculty of Environment, J. E. Purkyne University in Usti nad Labem, Czech Republic
Welcome to the website of the Advanced Functional Materials Group
The group is led by Jiri Orava and the general interest (including related topics) is:
Physico-chemical properties of metallic glasses, understanding liquid properties and its correlation with the glass formation.
Synthesis and physical-chemical properties of chalcogenide glasses.
Tailoring the relationship between structure and macroscopic properties of glasses and liquids.
Chalcogenide phase-change materials for low-energy non-volatile computer memory.
Crystallization and stability of glass-forming liquids.
Glasses and glass-ceramics for optics and photonics.
Low-cost methods of preparing inorganic colloidal crystals.
Synthesis of inorganic nanoparticles as novel phosphors.
Electrospinning of functional materials (triboelectric, photocatalytic, battery separators...).
