| Personal data: | Born 14.3.1944 in Horice, Czech Republic |
| Studies: | 1961 - 1966: studies at the Faculty
of Natural Sciences, Masaryk University, Brno. Diploma work: "Application
of Green's function technique to the theory of order-disorder in alloys"
1967 - 1971: postgraduate studies, supervisor Dr. B. Velický 1972: defended thesis: "The spin-paramagnetic susceptibility of transition metal alloys" |
| Scientific career: | 1972 - now: Institute of Physics,
Czech Academy of Sciences; since 1983 as a Chief Research Fellow
Long-term scientific visits till 1998: Field of activity, specialization: theoretical physics, theory of condensed matter Topics: ab-initio calculations of the electronic structure and magnetic properties of imperfect solids (alloys, surfaces, and interfaces); the study of ordering and phase stability of solids; the interaction of radiation with disordered solids (X-ray spectra, photoemission); many-body problem (electron correlations in solids, theory of Auger spectra); theory of interlayer coupling in metallic multilayers; the study of exchange interactions in metals and in multilayers; magnetotransport in layered systems. Activity in the last 5 years: close collaboration with Technical University in Vienna (ab-initio theory of the electronic structure and transport properties of metallic magnetic multilayers) and with the Max-Planck Institut in Halle (giant magnetoresistance in metallic multilayers; exchange interactions in metals and metallic multilayers); newly established collaborations with the University of Uppsala and the Institute Laue and Langevin, Grenoble (exchange interactions in random alloys, in dilute magnetic semiconductor in particular, evaluation of critical temperatures) Publications: 195
original publications and reviewed contributions at conferences, co-author
of one monograph. Member of the team on the short list for the Descartes
Prize 2004 of the European Community for the scientific
collaboration.
