Ceramics and Composite Materials

Slawomir M Kaczmarek has his expertise in evaluation and passion in materials science. He is a physicist by profession. For many years he was involved in optical and EPR spectroscopy of crystalline laser and scintillation materials produced by himself and other scientific centers in Poland, France and Japan. He mainly studied oxide materials such as garnets, lithium niobate, lithium tetraborate, melilites and fluorides doped with transition metals and rare earths. At the same time, he was a lecturer in physics, electronics and optoelectronics at the Military University of Technology in Warsaw and the West Pomeranian University in Szczecin. Recently, he became interested in the properties of powder materials, alloys, ceramics and nanomaterials, additionally conducting research on their magnetic properties using the SQUID technique. He is particularly interested in composite materials ranging from classic iron alloys to ceramic composites with nanoparticles.
