Topologické materiály pro součástky další generace

Annotation in Czech

As the primary goal of the project, we will focus on developing methods to grow thin films of the topological materials ZrTe5 and HfTe5. For example, ZrTe5 is a fascinating topological material that has garnered significant attention due to its unique electronic properties. It exhibits a topological phase transition, which can be tuned by factors such as temperature, pressure, or doping, allowing it to switch between a weak topological insulator, a strong topological insulator, or a Dirac semimetal state. The ability to make in situ thin films of these materials would greatly increase their application potential.
