Накратко на български
Електронните свойства на материали със силни корелации се анализират чрез спектроскопия, като например при въглеродни нанотръби и свръхпроводници. Тези проучвания помагат за развитието на технологии в електрониката, медицината и космическите изследвания.

Final Activity Report Summary - ESRISCOM (Electron spin resonance spectroscopy in strongly correlated materials)
We studied the electronic properties of strongly correlated electron systems and completed the major project objectives which were outlined in the proposal. Strong correlation effects were in the focus of intensive studies during the last half century. Materials exhibiting such phenomena include superconductors, Mott-Hubbard insulators with magnetically ordered ground states, materials with density wave ground states and materials with more exotic and not yet fully understood states such as the Tomonaga-Luttinger liquid state. Materials with strong correlations, such as superconductors, can be found in applications in space research, electronics, military applications and medicine. The project focused on three objectives: 1. development of a multifrequency, high-field electron spin resonance spectrometer with improved sensitivity; 2. study of the properties of single wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) encapsulating molecular structures; 3. study of the properties of novel superconductors. The first objective was completed by the purchase of the necessary elements and the assembly of the spectrometer. The second goal was successfully completed by the synthesis and electron spin resonance (ESR) studies of magnetic fullerenes inside single-wall carbon nanotubes. We published the result in 'Physical Review Letters', the leading international scientific journal of the physics field. The third objective was completed by the spectroscopic study of superconductors and their mother compounds. Since the host was situated in a less favoured region of the Community, the completion of the first objective also contributed to the cohesion of Hungary. The latter two project goals concerned cutting edge science; therefore the success in their completion contributed to the strengthening of the European research area. As an indicator of the project success we published 13 journal papers, 1 book chapter and presented the work at 2 scientific conferences and 3 European institutions as lectures. In addition, the research fellow, Dr Ferenc Simon, was invited to complete a 'habilitation' at the University of Vienna. This entitled him for the title 'Dr habil' and provided him with a permit to teach independent university courses. The fellow also obtained the highest recognised award for young scientists from the Hungarian Academy of Sciences, the 'talentum award', which additionally involved several media appearances in private and public television and in the national radio broadcast programmes. He was finally invited to contribute to a popular science journal, called Interpress, with a paper on nanotechnology. These latter activities therefore contributed to the popularisation of science and increased its accessibility by the broader public.

Цел на проекта
The study of strongly correlated materials dominated the second half of the last century. The not exhaustive list of such materials and phenomena - where strong correlation effects give rise to unique behaviour - include superconductors, Mott-Hubbard insul ators with magnetically ordered ground states, materials with density wave ground states, and materials with more exotic states such as the Tomonaga-Luttinger liquid state. Understanding the fundamental phenomena behind strong correlation effects have moti vated numerous theoretical work, which has greatly affected the way many body quantum mechanical systems, and in particular condensed matters, are understood. On the applied side, this has contributed to a range of novel materials that has revolutionized t he today's world. The application of strongly correlated materials ranges from space research through electronics and military applications till medicine. Given the importance of the phenomena occuring for strongly correlated materials, further investigati on of such systems is highly desired. The emerging new materials that are desired to be investigated are carbon nanostructures, and novel superconductors such as MgB2 and organic superconductors. Here, the improvement of electron spin resonance instrumenta tion available at the host is proposed together with detailed study of these systems. The instrument will be dedicated to the research of these systems, however, it will also be offered part-time for other studies such as chemical systems and biological co mpounds. Thus, the proposal contributes to a wider area of research beyond its primary use. This is particularly important as the host is situated in a less developed region of the EU and it will also be beneficial for the reintegration of the applicant. T he applicant will combine the experimental method that he was originally mastering before the Marie-Curie EIF with the training activities that he has acquired during the fellowship.
