🤩Excited to share our latest preprint on #LaserAssisted Two-Step Glass Wafer Metallization! A simple & efficient solution for improved compatibility between glass & metallic films. #MaterialsScience
➡️ https://dx.doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.4343362

Our team at #Matfyz Charles University, #HiLASE Centre & #CVUT have collaborated to bring this innovation to life using laser microstructuring at ambient conditions. The result is a thick layer of the metal film with high adhesion strength & low surface roughness.

This method offers a solution for those working on #QuantumTech hardware, as it presents a new alternative to chemical-based copper plating. The procedure is simple and efficient and leads to well-defined grains and grain boundaries in the metal film. #Sputtering

The magnetron-sputtered coating in our preprint did not show delamination from the glass substrate, even at a critical load of 60 N. This demonstrates the strong adhesion of the metal film to the glass substrate, thanks to the unique surface structure created by the laser. #SurfaceEngineering

This method of glass metallization will be a game-changer for those in the field of high-frequency electronic devices. The preprint outlines a practical solution for the realization of glass-based circuit materials, offering a more cost-effective alternative to chemical-based copper plating.

Attention all postdocs! We are looking for an experienced researcher to join our research group at Charles University, Faculty of Mathematics and Physics, Department of Surface and Plasma Science. Our research focuses on constructing a Paul trap for trapping electrons and manipulating them using lasers. This is closely related to ultracold plasma research. The application deadline is the end of this month. You can find further information at https://www.mff.cuni.cz/en/faculty/job-opportunities/open-competition/scientific-postdoc-positions-at-the-school-of-physics-application-deadline-january-31-2023 and https://mhejduk.com. Don't miss out on this exciting opportunity - apply now! #Recruiting #Postdoc #Research #PaulTrap #UltracoldPlasma #CharlesUniversity.

I have summarised research ideas we are working on at https://mhejduk.com/research/
We are young and dynamic, and expecting the main research harvest in the year 2023.

Hello, #quantum people! We are looking for a #postdoc at the Department of Surface and Plasma Science, MFF Charles University in Prague. They will work on commissioning the #electron trap that will store laser-cooled ions as well.

It will be an honour to give a talk about the past and the future of state-selective electron-ion recombination experiments at the Symposium on Next Generation #Astrochemistry in Tokyo (https://nga-2022.webnode.page/program/). I am looking forward to socialising with like-minded researchers! Let’s bring the #quantum control to the #plasma #physics!

My #introduction : I am a #plasma physicist from #prague #czechrepublic (Charles University) trying to produce and confine the matter similar to one predicted to exist in cores of white dwarf stars. I would like to exploit it in #quantum technological applications. Currently, I am building the confinement device. That means I am involved in a bit of #material #research and microwave #engineering at the same time.
The group I lead was founded in 2021 and currently consists of two PhD students, one master degree student and one postdoc. We are just in the beginning, but it is exciting (and stressing at the same time, to be honest).
