Researchers’ Night on 29.9.2023, from 5:00 PM to 10:00 PM at the IJS Gallery, main building. We invite you to an exciting journey into the world of physics and chemistry, where we will explore the behaviour of materials through various experiments. Our adventure will also take us into the enchanting realm of magic sand, magnets and materials at the microscopic level. Additionally, we will have a unique opportunity to visit an electron microscope, which will open the doors to the mysterious world in miniature that is invisible to the eye. Join us on this journey and experience the magic of the microscopic world! 😊

CEMM_RAZPIS 21.7.2023

Members of the Department for Nanostructured Materials Monika Kušter, dr. Zoran Samardžija, dr. Matej Komelj, dr. Sorour Semsari Parapari, dr. Matejka Podlogar, prof. dr. Jean-Marie Dubois and prof. dr. Sašo Šturm and an associate of the Department of Surface Engineering prof. dr. Janez Kovač published in a journal Crystals a study entitled: “Impact Of Tuned Oxidation on the Surface Energy of Sintered Samples Produced from Atomised B-Doped Al-Cu-Fe Quasicrystalline Powders”. In the article, we investigated the dynamics of the surface-energy changes on a boron-doped quasicrystalline AlCuFe material. The results of the study contribute to a broader insight into a quasicrystalline-material surface-energy controlled change under atmospheric conditions, as a result of the controlled oxide-layer growth. The results indicate the possibility of further optimization, i.e. engineering of quasicrystalline surfaces, which enables their applicative use in various composite systems strengthened by a quasicrystalline phase. The editors chose the article and graphical abstract for…

The Jean-Marie Dubois Prize will be awarded this year to Prof Dr. Michael Baake, a German mathematician and theoretical physicist working at the University of Bielefeld. The prize is named after our colleague from K7 and is administered by the State University of Iowa, USA, to “recognize important, sustained research on any aspect of quasicrystals within the 10 years preceding the award”. More details can be found at: https://www.icq15.sites.tau.ac.il/awards. The prize was established at Iowa State University by our late colleague, Professor Patricia A. Thiel, who pioneered research on the surface physics and chemistry of quasicrystals in close collaboration with JM Dubois. Together, they led an international laboratory between Ames Laboratories and the CNRS to promote the development of the applied physics of these new materials. Today, a similar binational initiative is active between the JSI and the CNRS, focusing on complex alloys, in line with a long-standing collaboration on…
