Conference was organized by Materials Research Laboratoy of University of Nova Gorica. The programmmee of the conference included two topics of sustainable growth: development of materials and technologies for environment protection and alternative energy use. The conference was held from 11. to 12. of May 2009 in University Center Ajdovščina. It was attended by 67 participants from Slovenia, Croatia, Italy, Austria and Czech Republic.
B.01 Organiser of a scientific meeting
COBISS.SI-ID: 245427712In the radio program Ecologic News: Alternative Energy Sources we have discussed with the journalist the issues related to energy, its use, fossile energy sources, different alternative sources of energy etc. A special attention was paid to the technologies that are currently in development and possibilities for the exploitation of alternative energy sources.
B.06 Other
COBISS.SI-ID: 1811707In the invited talk we have presented a study on influence of isovalent and aliovalent doping of KtaO3 on its dielectric properties with emphasis on studies of polar nanodomain characteristics that are formed around the dopant species. Their dipole moment and local crystallographic distortion significantly influences cryogenic dielectric properties.
B.04 Guest lecture
COBISS.SI-ID: 1174523At the University Campus of Ajdovscina of University of Nova Gorica we organized a workshop, for which we invited representatives of Synchrotron Elletra to present their activities and facilities to reseachers of UNG. The workshop consisted of 15 presentations of participant from Elletra and UNG. The workshop served as a starting point for the establishment of diverse research partnerships. All the participants agreed on continuing the exchange of know in the near future with the objective of preparing beamtime proposals for asking access to the Elettra beamline facilities in the next semester.
B.01 Organiser of a scientific meeting
At an international conference Microwave Materials and Their Applications 2010 that was organized in Warsaw, Poland, prof. Valant gave an invited talk with the title “New Generation of Functional pyrochlore - Magnetic Semiconductor Pyrochlores“. In his talk Prof. Valant has reviewed functional properties of some magnetically and geometrically frustrated pyrochlores and continued with analysis of spin glass pyrochlore, (BiFe)(FeTe)O7, that has been discoved within this research project.
