Development of surge protections for solar panels and wind-turbine generators.

In the field of research and development of varistor ceramics for successful surge protection of solar panels and wind turbine generators we have developed ceramics with very specific properties as a consequence of systematic study of the influence of additives and phase composition on final electric properties. Based on our results the experts in the factory VARSI successfully put the technology into the production.

The application of the Wien97/2K and BoltzTrap software for the ab initio calculation of the electronic propertis in crystals.

On the basis of the invited talk we gave a tutorial presentation about the application of the density-functional theory and the Boltzmann semiclasiscal theory for the calculation of the transport properties.

Implant having a multilayer coating and process for preparing thereof.

The present invention relates to an implant having a multilayered coating comprising a porous titanium layer on the implant, an optional interface titania layer and bioactive glass layer. Porous layer serves to enlarge the surface and improves mechanical stabilization of the implant, titania improves the adhesion between porous layer and upper bioactive layer while bioactive glass enhances the cell response and accelerates the osseointegration.

Organization and Chairing of 21st Workshop on Rare-Earth Permanent Magnets and their Applications, REPM'10

The decision of the International Advisory Committee that the 21. Workshop will be organized by Slovenia (other candidates were US, Russia and Singapore) is a very high recognition for Slovenian scientists who work in the field of permanent magnets based on RE-TM as well as for Slovenian industry from this field. The world's biggest and most respective Conference in the field had a huge positive response Worldwide. We attracted all the key people on this field and also a respective number of industrial participants (1/3). The Co-Chair of the Conference was Kolektor Group Idrija, Dr. B. Saje.

Magnetocaloric material for magnetic refrigeration.

In the European Network of Excellence “CMA” and in the frame of an European PhD work we managed to synthesize and characterize a magnetocaloric material with improved Net Refrigeration Capacity for 15 %. With a proper designing of the cooling device and usage of permanent magnets this material could be used as a material for ecological magnetic refrigeration.
