Personal information:
Present status : Senior
research fellow at Jozef Stefan Institute, and Associate Professor
at the University of Ljubljana, leading a group working on spectroscopy
of oxide High-Temperature Superconductors, Fullerenes and their
derivatives. The focus of the group are optical studies, more
specifically Raman scattering in the visible and near infrared
region, infrared absorption, time-resolved Raman (subpicosecond)
spectroscopy, time-resolved (femtosecond) photoinduced absorption,
as well as electron paramagnetic resonance (ESR), magnetic susceptibility
and transport measurements.
Current research projects
held:
Publications:
Last 3 years: more than 40 published scientific papers in refereed international journals and 20 invited talks
Total: more than 100 publications with over 350 citations (as of 1995).
Recent publications:
TDAE-C60 (below) is an organic ferromagnet below 16 K, whose properties were extensively investigated within this group. Single crystals of this material were grown successfuly (in 1995) and its optical, magnetic and transport properties were investigated. The orientational order of the C60 molecules was found to play a major role in determining its properties.
