Semilab AFM at the Institute of Physics

2022. May 31.

Semilab Semiconductor Physics Laboratory Co. Ltd. has loaned an atomic force microscope (AFM) to the Institute of Physics in order to support R&D and education activities. This compact AFM was installed on May 6, 2022 by a Semilab AFM expert, Dr. András Magyarkuti, a former doctoral student of the Institute. Besides opening opportunities in research and development, the instrument will also enable BME's physics master students to perform advanced laboratory exercises. 
 
We are grateful for the generous support from Semilab!

Gergely Zaránd elected to the Academy

2022. May 06.

Gergely Zaránd, head of the BME Institute of Physics, has been elected as a regular member to the Hungarian Academy of Sciences on May 3. Congratulations!

 

From the booklet issued by the Academy (pdf, in Hungarian):

 

"Gergely Zaránd was born in Budapest in1969. He has been the corresponding member of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences since 2016. He is a full professor at the Budapest University of Technology and Economics (BME), doing research in condensed-matter theory, studying strongly correlated quantum systems using the tools of quantum field theory and statistical physics.

 

He achieved seminal results in the areas of mesoscopic electronic systems, magnetic materials, and ultracold atoms. Since becoming a corresponding member, he has published more than 30 research papers, and the number of citations to his publications raised from 1800 to above 3000. 

 

Highlights among his most recent results include the interpretation of electronic crystals (Wigner crystals), and the discoveries of extended Shiba states in superconductors, and topologically protected spin states in quantum dots. These results have yielded publications in Science and Nature. He has established an internationally recognised research unit in the Intitute of Physics of BME."

 

Gergely Zaránd was nominated to the membership of the Academy by Péter Domokos, András Jánossy, Katalin Kamarás, János Kertész, György Mihály, Jenő Sólyom.
