The institute of physics is a part of the Faculty of natural sciences of the Pavol Jozef Šafárik University in Košice in Slovakia. Its director is currently Michal Jaščur. Primary activities[1] of the institute are:

Departments

Department of Theoretical Physics and Astrophysics

The Department of Theoretical Physics and Astrophysics provides education within all basic disciplines of theoretical physics. Through series of mandatory science courses, it educates students for specialization either in physics of condensed matter, nuclear physics, computer physics or astrophysics.[2]

The research at the department employs:

The research of the department involves collaboration with:

Department of Biophysics

The scientific work of the department has an inter-disciplinary character. Our scientific interest is mainly focused on the investigation of new photosensitizers, which could be used for diagnostic and treatment of cancer diseases.[3]

There is a collaboration of the department with numerous universities and research institutes in the world including both research (common projects) and pedagogical activities (few-months stages of our students abroad, and co-tutoring programs).

Department of Physics of Condensed Matters

The personnel of the department is participating in the classwork of basic physics courses and also prepares specialized classes devoted to the magnetism, metal physics, low-temperature physics, physics of new advanced materials and experimental techniques. Research programs of our department are focused on magnetic and transport properties of different classes of materials - amorph, nano-structural, low-dimensional and molecular magnets in the temperature range from room temperature down to the lowest temperature of 30 mK.[4]

The department carries out research in collaboration with:

and others.

Department of Nuclear Physics and Sub-nuclear Physics

The research in a field of nuclear and sub-nuclear physics focuses on high-energy collisions of heavy ions, correlation and spin effects in low-nucleon systems in interactions with protons with light nuclei at medium energies. Special attention is given to a participation of employees on the experiment ALICE of the new LHC collider in the CERN complex and to an experiment STAR on accelerators of BROOKHAVEN.[5]

The department carries out the research with the following institutions:
