Dr inż. Artur Lachowski received SONATINA grantFriday, 01 August 2025 21:06 |
As a result of the SONATINA 9 competition, the National Science Centre has qualified for financing the research project of dr. inż. Artur Lachowski from our Institute. The project is titled "Optimizing the epitaxial growth of niobium nitride for superconducting electronic applications" and will be realized in part in the Leibniz-Institut für Kristallzüchtung (IKZ) in Berlin, Germany. The SONATINA grant provides the funds necessary to cover all project expenses and secure the full-time employment of the PI at a Polish research centre. The PIs are also required to plan and complete a fellowship at a renowned foreign research centre of their choice. More about the SONATINA 9 competition and the results here while the project abstract is available under this link..

Publication in Communications Materials about Josephson junctions grown by MBEMonday, 04 August 2025 14:11 |
Josephson junctions are building blocks of qubits in quantum computers. Researchers from MBE laboratory from our Institute just published a study in Nature Communications Materials showing an important step for the technology of their fabrication. They presented a new approach for growing thin films of superconducting niobium nitride (NbN) on GaN substrates using plasma-assisted molecular beam epitaxy (PAMBE) with indium as a surfactant. The use of indium enabled the growth of NbN thin films with quality suitable for Josephson junction applications. The study demonstrated the world's first NbN/InAlN/NbN Josephson junction fabricated using the MBE method. The junctions achieved a critical current density of 1 kA/cm². This work shows that MBE technology can be fully exploited for the integration of NbN with group III nitrides, opening the path toward a new class of devices. The full article A. Lachowski et al. NbN-based Josephson junctions grown by plasma-assisted molecular beam epitaxy Commun Mater 6, 169 (2025) is available at: https://www.nature.com/articles/s43246-025-00891-3
Visit of dr inż. Anna Kafar to Joined Research Centre IspraWednesday, 23 July 2025 17:58 |
We are pleased to share that dr inż. Anna Kafar from our Institute was invited to participate in the visit of Polish Young Scientists to the Joint Research Centre Ispra (JRC Ispra) in Ispra, Italy, held on June 24–26, 2025. The JRC Ispra site is the third largest European Commission facility, originally established in 1960 as a Nuclear Joint Research Centre. Today, it plays a vital role in supporting EU policymaking through scientific research in areas such as sustainable transport, space, security, and climate change. The visit was organized as part of the initiatives related to the recently concluded Polish Presidency of the Council of the European Union. During this meeting, a group of ten young researchers had the opportunity to explore the Centre's history, gain insight into its operations, and establish new scientific collaborations. The JRC Ispra campus is a remarkable research environment, characterized by its wide range of disciplines and state-of-the-art scientific infrastructure. We are particularly grateful to Isabella Cerutti for her valuable time and the opportunity of individual job shadowing.
