Research areas
The research of Nebojša Labus focuses mainly on dilatometric measurements. Dilatometric measurements are used to investigate the dimensional changes of various materials obtained by different synthetic routes in a wide temperature range.
His expertise is also related to different types of materials obtained by various synthetic techniques - zinc titanate ZnTiO3 and Zn2TiO4 obtained by grinding in a high-energy mill, sintering conditions by changing the heating temperature, their influence on the structure of the resulting material and on the properties of polycrystalline metal oxides by sintering BaTiO3, BaSrTiO3, amorphous oxide materials lithium germanate phosphate glasses LiGe2(PO4)3 by cooling the melt, thin films Fe2TiO5 by screen printing, bismuth telluride alloys doped with zirconium BiSbTeSe:Zr by extracting single crystals using the Bridgman method, massive samples of amorphous metal alloys - metal glasses based on iron molybdenum chromium gallium phosphorus carbon boron alloy Fe65.5%Cr4%Mo4%Ga4%P12%C5%B5.5% by ultra-fast cooling.
