Collaborations with entrepreneurs

Agreements on collaboration or on join invention were signed with six companies:

• Robert Bosch GmbH a leading global supplier of technology and services in the organizational structure of which  operates Bosch Center for Artificial Intelligence.
• VIGO PHOTONICS S.A. a world-leading manufacturer of uncooled infrared photon detectors, VIGO detectors were on board of the Mars Curiosity rover.
• PREVAC Sp. z o.o a world-leading manufacturer of deposition and analysis systems based on vacuum technology
• PUREMAT Technologies Sp. z o.o  a world-leading company which sells ultrapure materials, Mn and Mg, for MBE and other semiconductor growth technologies.
• KRIOSYSTEM Sp. z o.o, one of the world’s leading companies producing technologically advanced cryogenic equipment and installations, used, inter alia, in CERN.
• MeasLine S.A., one of the world-renowned companies in Poland that designs and manufactures advanced, unique research and measurement systems as well as high and ultrahigh vacuum components and equipment; the company specializes in the design and manufacture of systems and apparatus for non-standard applications;

Collaboration with Robert Bosch GmbH concerns join invention of device and method for indirect measurement of topological invariants (Joint Invention Agreement signed on March 16, 2022).

Collaboration with VIGO PHOTONICS S.A. concerns mainly studies of optoelectronic properties of topological materials grown by MBE at MagTop. In particular, possibility of application of these materials in infrared detection will be investigated (perpetual collaboration agreement signed on November 15, 2019).

Collaboration with PUREMAT concerns studies of innovative structures grown by MBE technology, containing Mn or Mg ions, and exhibiting topological properties. The studies are expected to indicate new directions of investigation of topological materials, as well as, to indicate new fields of applications of ultrapure Mn and Mg (perpetual collaboration agreement signed on November 15, 2019).

The collaboration with PREVAC concerns joint research to improve UHV and MBE sputtering technological systems and systems for characterizing and studying the physical properties of materials and their nanostructures exhibiting topological matter properties, as well as apparatus used in spintronics research (Agreement on the joint ownership of the patent concernig new design of magnetron source was signed on October 19, 2021).

Collaboration with KRIOSYSTEM concerns the development of new product lines enabling measurements as a function of temperature, field, axial pressure, position, temperature gradient and other parameters defining the condition of the material, as well as, implementation of the latest material research results into the production of more energy-efficient cryostats, transmission lines and cryogenic modules (perpetual collaboration agreement signed on September 29, 2020).

Collaboration with MeasLine concerns improvement of the ultra-high vacuum apparatus and apparatus for various methods of characterization and testing the physical properties of materials and their nanostructures showing the properties of topological matter and properties useful in the field of spintronics (perpetual collaboration agreement  signed on October 2, 2020).
