We are focused on electron transport phenomena in condensed matter (usually crystalline) materials, from metals and semimetals, through semiconductors to high-resistivity crystals. Our current research concentrates on materials where spin and crystal symmetry result in an unusual, exotic electron behaviour. We study:
  • Dirac and Weyl semimetals in van der Waals materials, including transition metal dichalcogenides like MoTe2, NiTe2 or TaAs to explore the role of bulk and surface conductivity
  • Superconductivity in strained PtTe/SnTe heterostructures
  • Antiferromagnetism in both conducting compounds (like MnTe, identified as an altermagnet) and insulating ones (CoO, MnSe, also exhibiting altermagnetic character) to propose spintronics elements for memory or spin sources. The latter in the frame of NCN SONATA project: link
  • Transparent conducting oxides (in the frame of NCN OPUS project link), to find an alternative to omnipresent ITO.
  • Magnetic Topological Insulators, e.g. MnBi2Te4 compounds to search for quantum anomalous Hall effect
