Doctoral StudiesAdvanced Nanotechnologies and Microtechnologies - FieldBrief description of fieldThe field of "Advanced Nanotechnologies and Microtechnologies" provides students with skills and knowledge about nanotechnology materials and structures generally suitable for nanoelectronics and nanophotonics. This includes both the preparation and characterization of nanostructures (specifically semiconductor nanostructures, metallic and magnetic nanostructures, oxide superconductors and magnetic materials, nanotubes, nanofibres, supramolecules and nanoelectronic components beyond the boundaries of Moore's Law, etc.). Biological and medical applications of these materials and products (e.g., biosensors, nanodots, etc.) are also part of this study field. Cooperating institutions In order to guarantee the qualitative level of the field of study, Faculty of Science cooperates with CEITEC MU, CEITEC BUT and other domestic and foreign institutions. The cooperation concerns mainly research in several branches of condensed matter physics, as well as the membership in commissions and tutoring. Examples of the institutions are listed below:
Profile of a typical graduateThe graduate will acquire professional knowledge and skills necessary for solving various scientific problems that may be present in research and development institutions as well as in the industry. Students will be able to apply and use their acquired knowledge and skills for further developing this field in their future workplaces (academic and research institutions, and institutions of applied science) and will contribute to the institutional competitiveness. This study program allows students to gain sufficient competence for cooperating in development, design, and research teams. The graduates will gain skills and abilities that will allow them to carry out scientific research on an international level. Requirements for applicants(A) Technical requirements:
