Mission & Vision

The tasks of the Academic Centre for Materials and Nanotechnology are:

maintaining and developing modern scientific research infrastructure, in particular, infrastructure connected with nonodiagnostics and nanotechnologies, as well as making it available to the employees of the university and other research institutions,
creating conditions for the infrastructure to be used by the doctoral students of AGH UST faculties, as well as other Krakow universities and research units; for this purpose, the Academic Centre for Materials and Nanotechnology can act as a partner in the programmes of interdisciplinary doctoral studies,
conducting research into materials, nanomaterials, material technologies and nanotechnologies, in particular for the purpose of their application in laboratory conditions and industry,
conducting pro-innovative activity in the field of advanced material technologies and nanotechnology,
the development of AGH UST research offer in the field of technology and nanotechnology of materials.

Research areas

The main fields of ACMiN’s scientific and research activity are: cutting-edge materials engineering, physics and chemistry of materials as well as nanotechnology.

The scientific activity of our Centre focusses on creating functional materials of nanometric dimensions and characterizing their physical and chemical properties. We look for materials whose functional properties can be controlled by reducing their size and/or dimensionality.

We conduct research into the kinetics of electrochemical and photoelectrochemical processes, recombination mechanisms of charge carriers occurring due to light absorption in semiconductors, self-organization of nanoparticles, magnetism in systems with lowered symmetry, spintronic phenomena and surface effects.
