Detail study of selected multiple eclipsing systems
Supervisor: doc. RNDr. Miloslav Zejda, Ph.D.

Vícenásobně zákrytové hvězdné soustavy představují relativně novou třídu objektů, která se nabízí jako významný zdroj informací o hvězdných systémech. Jejich počet se rozrůstá, ale detailních studií jednotlivých systémů je dosud málo.

Cílem práce bude za pomoci vlastních pozorovacích dat (fotometrických i spektroskopických) doplněných o dostupná data z jiných zdrojů výpočet modelu zúčastněných dvojhvězd i jednotlivých komponent a určení jejich parametrů. Předpokládá se použití standardního softwarového balíčku PHOEBE, případně některého z ekvivalentních produktů. V závěru by měla být diskuze, porovnání s jinými detailními modely vícenásobně zákrytových soustav.

Práce bude vypracována v anglickém jazyce.

Structured stellar winds
Supervisor: doc. RNDr. Jiří Kubát, CSc.

V současné době se považuje za prokázané, že hvězdné větry horkých hvězd jsou strukturované. Pro modelování této vlastnosti větrů se používá jednorozměrný popis pomocí parametru popisujícího poměr hustot strukturovaného a nestrukturovaného větru a řady dalších zjednodušujících předpokladů. Řešení přenosu záření pro třírozměrný model však ukázalo nutnost použití přesnějšího popisu prostředí. Hydrodynamické simulace nehomogenního prostředí mohou odpovědět na řadu otázek týkajících se struktury hvězdných větrů, zejména vznik a vývoj chuchvalců a hustotních pórů ve větrech, a pomoci zpřesnit určení míry ztráty hmoty, která je klíčovou vlastností ovlivňující hvězdný vývoj.
Cílem práce bude analýza časového vývoje nehomogenit a dalších jevů pomocí hydrodynamických a zářivě-hydrodynamických modelů za použití veřejně dostupných modelovacích kódů, jako jsou například MPI-AMRVAC nebo ATHENA.

Understanding the physics of hot galactic atmospheres
Supervisor: prof. Mgr. Norbert Werner, Ph.D.

Most galaxies comparable to or larger than the mass of the Milky Way host hot, X-ray emitting atmospheres. The crucial role of these atmospheres for the formation and evolution of individual massive galaxies is just beginning to be appreciated. About half of the yet unseen warm-hot diffuse matter in the local Universe may lie in such extended galactic atmospheres, which are inextricably linked to their host galaxies through a complex story of accretion and feedback processes, such as energy and momentum input from supernovae, and jets and winds of accreting supermassive black holes, also called active galactic nuclei.
Using novel data analysis techniques, the student will explore X-ray data complemented by other multi-wavelength observations to study hot galactic atmospheres and their interaction with the central AGN.

X-ray radiation of stellar atmospheres and winds
Supervisor: doc. RNDr. Jiří Kubát, CSc.

Velké množství horkých hvězd je zároveň zdrojem rentgenového záření. Rentgenová emise u dvojhvězdných interagujících systémů může vznikat při přenosu hmoty z jedné složky na druhou. Existuje však řada hvězd, které se jeví být osamocené. U těchto objektů není jasné, které fyzikální procesy dávají vzniknout rentgenovému záření. Navíc je rentgenová zářivost často proměnná. Příčina rentgenové emise osamocených hvězd je dosud stále zahalena rouškou tajemství.
Rentgenové záření má značný vliv na dynamiku zářením urychlovaného větru, kdy zvyšuje ionizaci prostředí, snižuje absorpční koeficient hmoty a tím snižuje i schopnost záření hmotu urychlovat.
Cílem práce bude přispět k pochopení mechanismů vzniku rentgenové emise v atmosférách a větrech horkých hvězd a pokusit se vytvořit nebo zpřesnit odpovídající model.

Specialization: Biophysics

Protein Affinity and Selectivity to Cellular Membranes
Supervisor: prof. RNDr. Robert Vácha, PhD.

OBJECTIVES: The aim is to elucidate the relationship between protein sequence and preferred composition and curvature of human membranes,i.e., find peptide motifs that are selective to specific membranes in cells (plasma membrane, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, mitochondria, etc.). The obtained understanding will be used for the development of new protein biomarkers, sensors, scaffolds, and drugs.



DESCRIPTION: The control of biological membrane shape and composition is vital to eukaryotic life. Despite a continuous exchange of material, organelles maintain a precise combination and organization of membrane lipids, which is crucial for their function and the recruitment of many peripheral proteins. Membrane shape thus enables the cell to organize proteins and their functions in space and time, without which serious diseases can occur. Moreover, membrane curvature and lipid content can be specific to cancer cells, bacteria, and enveloped virus coatings, which could be utilized for selective targeting. We will develop a new method, using which we will elucidate the relationship between the protein sequence and the preferred membrane. The relationship will lay the foundations for the design of new protein motifs sensitive to membranes with a specific curvature and composition. Student(s) will master tools of computer simulations, in particular, molecular dynamics techniques and methods to calculate free energies. Moreover, he/she will learn the advantages and disadvantages of various protein and membrane parameterizations, including all-atom and coarse-grained models.



EXAMPLES of potential projects: * Determination of helical motifs for specific membrane compositions * Development of implicit membrane model for fast determination of protein-membrane affinity * Helical peptides and their sensitivity for membrane curvature

Structural dynamics, function and evolution of RNA and DNA. From the origin of life to modern biochemistry.
Supervisor: prof. RNDr. Jiří Šponer, DrSc.

Our scientific goal is understanding of the most basic principles of structural dynamics, function and evolution of DNA and RNA.

To achieve our goal, we use a wide portfolio of theoretical/computational approaches. Our research is closely related to experiments, mostly via extensive collaborations, though in the prebiotic chemistry we have in house experiments. We offer thesis essentially on any topic that is currently active in the laboratory. You can get the most up-to-date idea about our current research from the WOS or SCOPUS databases, where you can find all our publications (Sponer, J.), see all our collaborators, etc. The laboratory is at the Institute of Biophysics, Czech Academy Sciences, Kralovopolska 135, where we have a powerfull set of high-perfomance computer clusters dedicated exclusively to our group

Our methods are:
  • Classical Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations. Besides standard simulations, we have years of experience in using all classes of enhanced-sampling techniques. We play also a prominent role in development of DNA/RNA simulation force fields and our versions are used world-wide
  • Quantum-chemical (QM) method. We have full spectrum of methods, ranging from ultra-accurate computations of model systems, through large-scale QM studies on biomolecular building blocks with hundreds of atoms up to sophisticated methods that are used in studies of excited states and photochemistry; the later technique is especially relevant to study the origin of life chemistry under UV light. Again, please see the papers we have published in last years.
  • Hybrid quantum-classical (QM/MM) methods, quantum molecular dynamics
  • Structural bioinformatics
Specific experiments are possible in the field of prebiotic chemistry in collaborating laboratories. Modern computations are extensively combined with many experimental techniques (NMR, X-Ray, high-energy lasers, biochemical techniques) mostly via numerous collaborations. We collaborate with 30 foreign and Czech laboratories. We publish about 20 papers annually and belong to the most cited Czech research groups. We currently work in several mutually interrelated research areas, which are open for the students as PhD topics.
  • RNA structural dynamics, folding and catalysis
  • Protein-RNA (or DNA) complexes. We try to go beyond the ensemble-averaged picture of experimental methods in order to understand how rarely accessed dynamical conformations invisible to experiments allow to separate affinity for reactivity or selectivity.
  • DNA, with focus on G-quadruplexes, specifically advanced studies of quadruplex folding mechanisms
  • Diverse types of quantum-chemical studies on nucleic acids systems
  • Origin of life (prebiotic chemistry), i.e., creation of the simplest chemical life on our planet (or anywhere else in the Universe), with a specific attention paid to the formamide pathway to template-free synthesis of the first RNA molecules. This specific project includes also in house experimental research.

Besides studies of specific systems, we are also involved extensively in method testing/development, mainly in the field of parametrization of molecular mechanical force fields for DNA

NOTE: before initiating the formal application process to doctoral studies, all interested candidates are required to contact Prof. Jiri Sponer (sponer@ncbr.muni.cz) for an informal discussion.

Electronic and transport properties of ferroelectric topological insulator thin films
Supervisor: Mgr. Ondřej Caha, Ph.D.

Topological insulators have a unique electronic band structure of surface states. These states have spin-momentum locked dispersion caused by time-reversal symmetry or mirror symmetry for topological insulators and topological crystalline insulators, respectively. The time-reversal symmetry can be broken by the magnetic field; thus, ferromagnetically doped topological insulators are of great scientific interest for the possible electronic and spintronic application. The other materials to be studied are thin films and quantum wells of topological crystalline insulators. The quantum well changes the electronic structure of the topological surface states due to changing the inversion symmetry protecting the topological surface states. We also plan to combine chalcogenide topological insulators with ferroelectric GeTe based materials.

The PhD candidate is expected to join our research in one of the following research activities:

  • Electronic characterization of the topological insulators: transport measurements at low temperatures
  • Participation in synchrotron-based experiments: ARPES, XAS, XMCD.
  • Data evaluation and computer simulations necessary to evaluate the experimental results.

Required Skills and Qualifications:

  • Master’s degree in Condensed Matter Physics.
  • Experience in en experimental laboratory, preferably in Solid State Physics.
  • Good communication skills (oral and written) in English.
  • Commitment to complete the PhD studies.

Ferromagnetism in Ultra-Thin Films of Semiconducting Oxides
Supervisor: Hoa Hong Nguyen, PhD

The study aims to clarify the origin of induced room temperature ferromagnetism in pristine Semiconducting Oxide Thin Films. By down scaling semiconducting oxides to nano size, under appropriate conditions that may favor oxygen vacancies/defects at the surface and interface, room-temperature ferromagnets can be obtained. This may show us a way how to manipulate the spins and charges simultaneously in the same device. We propose to study the effect of introducing additional carriers and various types of defects into thin films of undoped semiconducting oxides such as HfO2, In2O3, Ga2O3, CeO2, WO3, etc. The study will also exploit the element selectivity of X-ray magnetic circular dichroism to detect changes of the spin polarization caused by the presence of extra charge carriers due either to x-ray irradiation or to dopant impurities. We expect these studies to shed new light on the mechanisms of d0-Ferromagnetism.

The PhD candidate is expected to join our research in one of the following research activities:


Preparation of targets and ultrathin films of semiconducting oxides with different transition-metal dopant concentrations.

Perform necessary measurements such as XRD, VSM, XAS, XMCD etc., to characterize the films.

Manipulating oxygen vacancies and defects in a controllable way by means of changing size, applying different conditions, and thermal and oxygen treatments.

Performing simulations in collaboration with theoreticians to guide the experiments.

Required Skills and Qualifications:

Master’s degree in either Condensed Matter Physics or Chemistry of Solids
Hands-on experience in experimental laboratories, being familiar with PLD, MPMS, XRD and Chemistry Lab should be preferred.
Good communication skills (oral and written) in English
High level of commitment to complete the PhD studies.

Development of multifuncional thin films using plasma assisted chemical vapor deposition methods
Supervisor: doc. RNDr. Vilma Buršíková, Ph.D.

Současné období pandemie ukázalo na zvýšený požadavek na vývoj metod pro úpravu povrchových vlastností materiálů, např. pro přípravu antibakteriálních a antivirových povrchů nejen pro zdravotnické materiály, ale i pro obalovou techniku a další často dotýkané povrchy (kliky, vypínače, apod.). Nanočástice stříbra, ale i některých dalších kovů (měď, zlato, titan) jsou známé pro jejich antibakteriální i antivirové vlastnosti. Tématem navržené disertační práce bude vyvinout technologii kovem dopovaných organosilikonových tenkých vrstev použitím metody plazmatem aktivované depozice z plynné fáze. Pro zabudování kovů budou odzkoušeny 2 metody: (1) depozice ze směsí organosilikonových a organometalických prekurzorů a (2) příprava organosilikonových vrstev v prachovém plazmatu dodáním nanočástic různých kovů s antibakteriálními vlastnostmi do plazmatu. V případě druhém bude nutné vyřešit dodání částic do plazmatu.
Pro přípravu shora uvedených vrstev je velmi důležitý jejich multifunkční charakter, kromě antibakteriálních vlastností musí splňovat několik dalších důležitých vlastností, jako jsou dobrá adheze k substrátu, otěruvzdornost, elasticita (zejména v případě flexibilních substrátů), transparentnost (v případě obalových materiálů). Požadavek na kvalitu struktury vrstev (dopant se nesmí uvolňovat z povrchu) bude rovněž zvýšená, vrstva musí zachovat povrchové i objemové vlastnosti a musí být odolný vůči běžným čisticím postupům.
V rámci práce budou studovány vlastnosti tenkých vrstev i v závislosti na druhu substrátu na který jsou tenké vrstvy nanášeny (u plazmatem asistované depozice může mít substrát významný vliv). Bude kladen důraz na studium vlivu záporného stejnosměrného předpětí na substrátu na vlastnosti nadeponovaných vrstev. V práci se bude věnovat i studiu časového vývoje předpětí a jeho vliv na hloubkový profil mechanických, strukturních a dalších fyzikálních a chemických vlastností vrstev.
V první části disertační práce se budou vyvíjet metody pro přípravu různých typů vrstev ze směsí organosilikonů anebo organosilazanů s nosnými plyny (např. Ar, O2, N2O, atd.) aby bylo možné vytypovat vhodné typy vrstev pro následné dopování kovovými prvky.
Pro úspěšné řešení tohoto tématu bude velice důležitá důkladná charakterizace tenkých vrstev, jako jsou měření mechanických (nanoindentace, vrypové a nanootěrové zkoušky), povrchových (topografie pomocí AFM, konfokální mikroskopie, studium volné povrchové energie), strukturních a chemických vlastností vrstev (FTIR, XPS, Raman, SEM, TEM, RBS/ERDA atd.). Většina těchto technik je k dispozici na pracovišti ÚFE, TEM můžeme řešit ve spolupráci s ÚFM anebo s CEITEC, RBS/ERDA ve spolupráci s ÚJF (Řež u Prahy). Antibakteriální testy pak můžeme řešit ve spolupráci s FCH VUT, TUL Liberec anebo Univerzitou Tomáše Bati ve Zlíně.
Materiálně je řešení tématu v současné době zabezpečený projektem GAČR 19-15240S.

Plasma engineering of nanostructured coatings for flexible energy-harvesting and -storage systems
Supervisor: doc. RNDr. Tomáš Homola, PhD.

The novel emerging field of flexible and printed electronics has attracted increased attention because of its potential to enable low-cost and high-throughput manufacturing of electronics on cheap plastic substrates for various applications including photovoltaics. However, this segment is still far away from commercialization because the cutting edge materials and manufacturing steps are not compatible with thermally sensitive flexible materials.

The PhD. work will focus on low-temperature plasma engineering of novel nanostructured nanomaterials as tungsten oxide, iron oxides, titanium dioxide, molybdenum disulfide, etc ... and their application in various energy-harvesting, -storage systems and sensing devices. The topic and tasks in the laboratory are strongly oriented towards the industrial segment.

Possibility to spend 6 months on an internship in a high-tech company in Singapore working on PhD. topic.

The exacttopic and tasks will be defined later according to applicant preference: perovskite solar cells, tandem solar cells, supercapacitors, etc ...

Keywords: State-of-the-art plasma generators, coating deposition methods (i.e. ink-jet printing), plasma treatment, advanced surfaces, nano-coatings, roll-to-roll manufacturing, flexible and printed electronics, surface characterization (AFM, XPS, SEM, etc.).
