In the institute he has been the head of the Laboratory of Inhomogenous Structures, from
1985 the head of the Laboratory of the Structure of Non-Crystalline Materials. From the
beginning of the year 2010 he is working in the Institute of Physics as an emeritus
scientist.
In 1965 he received the PhD and in 1991 the DrSc. title. In the year 1985 he has been
awarded the Prize of the Academy for his work on the structure of non-crystalline materials.
In the beginning of his scientific career (1958-1970) he has studied the structure of
ferrites, (see papers [1] to [19]) especially in relation to the Jahn-Teller effect in
manganese ferrites (local tetragonal distortions in cubic structure), see papers [2], [4], [8]
to [11] and [[17]. Extremely fruitful in this direction was his collaboration with the group
of prof. R. Hosemann (Fritz-Haber Institute of the Max Planck Society in Berlin), papers
[14], [17] and [19]. After 1966 he started studies of the structure of non-crystalline
materials, especially of the structure of oxide and chalcogenide glasses (see papers [19] to [37]),
of amorphous carbon ([32], [35] and [39], of metallic glasses [61]. Interesting results brought
his fruitful collaboration with prof. E.W. Fischer (Max-Plack Institute for Polymer Research in
Mainz) on the structure of amorphous and glassy polymers ([40], [45], [50], [54], [58], [60]
and [62]). With the group of prof. G. Dalba (University of Trento) he collaborated on studies
of the structure of borate glasses, e,g, [59], [65] and [68] or on studies of special germanate
glasses [70, 71].
His experimental methods were X-ray or neutron scattering, later he concentrated mainly
on computer modelling of non-crystalline structures together with a theoretical calculation of
X-ray or neutron scattering on the basis of appropriate non-crystalline models. His special
interest was concentrated to the problem of medium-range ordering (MRO) in glasses and its
connection with the first sharp scattering peak (FSSP). His modelling experiments of
two-dimensional structures in combination with Fraunhofer diffraction (in collaboration with
prof. J. Komrska (Institute of Physical Engineering, Faculty of Mechanical Engineering,
Technical University, Brno, Czech Republic) contributed to a better understanding of the
medium-range order in disordered structures.
Recently, in order to contribute to the knowledge of the structure of the early universe
(380.000 years after the Big-Bang) he studied the transformation of the power spectrum of
the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) "relict" radiation on the basis of the transformation
of its power spectrum into reciprocal spaces - a method based on close analogy with the
structural analysis of disordered structures on the basis of Fourier transform, see [72].
Simultaneously he finished his studies of some past problems concerning the crystallization of
CdAs2-based glasses [73]. Finally, he was invited to present his studies on the analysis
of the CMB anisotropy spectrum in the 10th Chapter of the book New Insights into Physical Science [74].
On the basis of his studies of glass structure, mainly the study of medium-range order in
disordered materials, he was invited to give review lectures on various conferences and meetings,
i.e. 1978 in Pardubice, Czech Republic (Int. Conf. on Amorphous Semiconductors - [30]),
1982 in Bucharest, Romania (Int. Conf. on Amorphous Semiconductors - [34]), 1982 in Cambridge,
UK (2nd Int. Conf. on the Structure of Non-Crystalline Materials - [37]), 1987 in Balaton-Szeplák
(Int. Conf on Amorphous Semiconductors - [44]), 1988 in Oxnard, USA (4th Int. Conf. on the
Structure of Non-Crystalline Materials - [48]), 1991 in Sendai, Japan (5th Int. Conf. on the
Structure of Non-Crystalline Materials - [55]). For the 7th in Cagliari, Italy and 11th in Paris,
France, Int. Conferences on the Structure of Non-Crystalline Materials he has been invited
to present the Introductory Lectures, see [66] and [72]. He served also as a Chairman of the
6th (1994) and 10th (2006) Int. Conference on the Structure of Non-Crystalline Materials.
He was invited to long-term visits in the Fritz-Haber-Institute of the Max-Planck Gesellschaft
in Berlin during 1968 and 1969, in the Max-Planck-Institute for Polymer-Research in Mainz during
the years 1984, 1986 and 1988 and to the University of Trento in the years 1991 to 1994.
He is an author of 74 scientific publications, the total number of citations until 2021
is 860.
