We point out that the momentum distribution is not a proper observable for a system of anyons in two dimensions. The quasimomentum distribution can be used to identify anyonic statistics in standard time-of-flight measurements.
We theoretically show that tailoring the topology of the phase space of the light particle interaction is a fundamentally more versatile approach, enabling dynamics that may not be achievable by shaping of the light alone.

A new hetero-tetranuclear compound [Cr2(bpy)4(μ-O)4Nb2(C2O4)4]·3H2O exhibits an anti-ferromagnetic ground state, coming from two CrIII ions interacting through two −O−NbV−O− diamagnetic bridges, as revealed from magnetization modeling and confirmed by EPR spectra and DFT calculations.

Here we present the first observation of strangeness enhancement in high-multiplicity proton–proton collisions. We find that the integrated yields of strange and multi-strange particles, relative to pions, increases significantly with the event charged-particle multiplicity.

A paper in Scientific Reports 5, 14761 (2015) presents for the first time measurement of the hyperfine magnetic field in magnetic material based on carbon.
We have shown that plasmons in graphene facilitate extremely strong nonlinear optical interactions, even at the few-quantum level.

A novel heterometallic oxalate-based compound, made of a 3D anionic network is used as a single-source precursor for preparation of the mixed-metal oxide CoMn2O4 through its thermal decomposition.
We consider dc-electronic transport through a nanowire suspended between two normal-metal leads in the presence of an external magnetic field.
The integral cross section of the 12C(n,p)12B reaction has been determined for the first time in the neutron energy range from threshold to several GeV at the n_TOF facility at CERN.

The Department of Physics, Faculty of Science, University of Zagreb is the leading regional center for scientific research and university-level educational program in the field of physics. Employees of the Department of Physics are conducting internationally relevant and competitive research; they participate as project leaders or researchers on the competitive national and international research projects, thus contributing to the higher education in the field of physics at the University of Zagreb. |
In 2017/2018 there are 502 students enrolled in 6 programmes of the integral undergraduate and graduate study of physics (research physics, educational physics, educational physics and computer science, educational physics and technology, educational physics and chemistry, educational mathematics and physics) and 174 students in doctoral study. The current academic staff of the Department consist of 56 teachers and 50 lecturers, assistans or students in the postgraduate doctoral study in physics. |
Department of Physics promote scientific excellence through participation at internationally relevant and competitive researches - both basic and applied ones. Develop innovative educational programs based on research and the latest scientific discoveries. Participate in the European Research Area with Croatian researchers and students as equal participants. |
Departmental teaching facilities include 2 lecture halls, 4 medium classrooms, library with reading rooms, 2 computer labs, 7 student laboratory classrooms, 3 seminar rooms, workshop and a dozen of advanced research laboratories. Central Library for Physics has more than 15,000 books and 500 journals. Scientific collection has few thousands of devices and books. |
Experimental Physics Division has particular interest in experimental solid state physics, atomic and molecular physics, nuclear physics, and physics of medium and high energy, astrophysics, biophysics and methodology of educational physics.
Beginnings of university-level teaching of physics in Zagreb reaches back to 17th century. The first professor was Stjepan Glavač (1627-1680), and Physics was lectured for the first time in 1664. The teaching of physics continued in the same intensity even after 1669 when the Jesuit Academy in Zagreb has obtained the rights and privileges as a University. |
Theoretical Physics Division is Croatia's flagship research center in the field of theoretical physics, in particular in atomic and nuclear physics, optics and photonics, physics of condensed matter, and biophysics. Members of the Division publish their frontier research work in leading international scientific journals and lead a number of competitive research projects and agreements on international scientific cooperation.
Theoretical Physics Division of Particles and Fields covers research subjects Gravitation and black holes and Phenomenology of elementary particles and fields. Research projects are Graparion - Gravity and parity violation and MIAU - Matter and Interactions at Accelerators and in Universe. |
The conference "From Solid State to BioPhysics XI: From Basic to Life Sciences" award information.
The Organizing Committee of the conference "From Solid State to BioPhysics XI: From Basic to Life Sciences" (https://www.physics2bio.org/) conducted a competition for student scholarships amounting to 1000 Euros, enabling free participation in the conference and all related events.
Following the procedure (https://www.pmf.unizg.hr/phy?@=1o1yz#news_26990), the scholarships were awarded to the following students:
Rea BOBAN - PMF Zagreb
Lucija ČREP - PMF Rijeka
Karla FILIPOVIĆ - PMF Zagreb
Nikola MIŠE - PMF Zagreb
Jana MUŽEVIĆ - PMF Zagreb
Dubravko RADIŠIĆ - PMF Split
Denis RADOLOVIĆ - PMF Zagreb
Filip VALJAK - PMF Zagreb
In addition to the scholarships and the Pierre-Gilles de Gennes Prize, which this year was awarded to Prof. Gergely Szöllősi from Eötvös University, Hungary, for his research in the history of evolution traced through the genome, a prize was also awarded for the best poster. The selection was made by a committee composed of:
Bart VERBERCK – Nature Physics, Editor
Csaba FORRÓ – Stanford University
Piran KIDAMBI - Vanderbilt University
We are pleased to announce that the best poster award went to our scholarship recipient, Karla Filipović, who presented her work on the topic: "Substrates for the research of micro-topographic and galvanotropic cues for axonal guidance." Karla is in the final stages of completing her master's thesis, under the mentorship of Prof. Vedran Đerek. The award was presented by Prof. Novoselov from the National University of Singapore, Nobel Laureate in Physics 2010.
