The Materials Growth and Measurement Laboratory is a unique Czech laboratory with open access and international reach. It is operated by the Faculty of Mathematics and Physics at Charles University in collaboration with the Institute of Physics of the Czech Academy of Sciences.
Thanks to funding received from the Research Infrastructures I call under the Jan Amos Komenský Operational Programme (project number: CZ.02.01.01/00/23_015/0008184), MGML will be able to renew its existing equipment and strategically develop its experimental facilities during the 2024–2026 period. This investment will enable the lab to stay at the forefront of scientific research and meet the growing demands of its user community.
The project includes the necessary expansion of frequency ranges for measuring alternating electrical and magnetic properties as well as multiferroic phenomena. Several diffractometers for detailed structural characterization will be updated, and the lab’s capabilities for pressure measurements will be significantly enhanced. Furthermore, a new X-ray fluorescence spectrometer will be acquired for precise chemical analysis of prepared samples.
Stay tuned for updates on the advancements and new capabilities at MGML in the coming years!
