New publication by Bilja, Ivan and Ivke
Bilja, Ivan and Ivke, together with our former colleague Marijana Gavrilović Božović published a paper about detection of absorbed neutrons in first wall of future fusion devices from measurements of Re content in WRe alloy using Laser Induced Fast Pulse Discharge (LIFPD). More about this on: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.fusengdes.2025.114943
Project NOVA2LIBS4fusion finished
We are proud to announce that the project NOVA2LIBS4fusion financed by the Science Fund of the Republic of Serbia is officially finished. The project had researchers from four institutions (IPB served as leading institution, along with Vinca Institute of Nuclear Sciences, Faculty of Physical Chemistry and Faculty of Engineering) working together on the improvement of the analytical capabilities of LIBS for the analysis of the plasma facing components (PFCs) of future fusion reactors, as well as its optimization for in-situ application. During the period of three years, we published 5 papers, while 4 are sent to relevant journals and peer review is underway.
Also, as the project has finished, our Head of the Laboratory, Ivke, went into retirement on the 1st February 2025. We wish him happy retirement, good health and all the best in the future!

SPIG 2024
Ivke, Biljana, Neša, Milica, Ivan and Nikola participated in 32nd Symposium of Physics of Ionized Gases (SPIG 2024), held in Belgrade at the Serbian Academy of Sciences and Art. Ivke was member of the Scientific Committee for the sixth consecutive time. Ivan was in the Ogranizing Committee, while Bilja served as the co – secretary of the conference.
During the final day of the conference, Ivan gave a progress report lecture entitled “Application of Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence in Plasma Spectroscopy“.
At the poster presentation part of the conference, Biljana presented the poster entitled “Fast Photography in the Service of Spatially and Temporally Resolved LIBS Diagnostics of Doped Tungsten”, while Ivan presented the posters entitled “Detection of Rhenium in Tungsten Using LIBS with Additional Fast Pulse Discharge” and “Influence of the Ablation Angle Change on Spectral Line Intensities in LIBS Experiments“. Apart from this, we also presented, or participated in the following posters:
Target Selection for LIBS Studies of Hydrogen Isotope Retention – Dragan Ranković, Biljana Stankov, Ivan Traparić, Miroslav Kuzmanović and Milivoje Ivković
During the conference, we also had a pleasure of hosting our friend and collaborator Dr. Chihiro Suzuki – san from NIFS Japan, who gave a talk entitled “Comprehensive Z-dependence Analysis of Soft X-ray Spectra from Highly Charged Heavy Ions Using Magnetically Confined High-temperature Plasmas“.
Ivan participated in the ICSLS 2024 conference
The ICSLS 2024 conference was held in Japan from 2nd to 7th June at Prefectural Budokan in Otsu. Ivan took part at this conference, where he had two posters. One poster was about the joint work with LHD colleagues on the application of generative artificial intelligence in modeling of emitted tungsten UTA structure in EUV spectral range. The second poster was the presentation of NOVA2LIBS4fusion project results regarding the study of separation of hydrogen and deuterium spectral lines relevant for tritium retention studies.
Finally, he also had the honor of visiting the NIFS facility in Toki. Here, he held a seminar about the results disseminated at the conference, and also took a tour of LHD device that is in operation at NIFS.

Ivke presented a poster entitled LIBS analysis of tungsten – copper alloys while prof. Savović held the invited talk entitled Relevance of mid-infrared laser as an excitation source for a variety of LIBS applications.
SPIG 2020
Ivke, Biljana and our MSc student Ivan Traparić participated in this year’s jubilee 30th Symposium of Physics of Ionized Gases (SPIG 2020). Because of the bad situation in Serbia due to Coronavirus pandemic, SPIG 2020 was organized completely in online format. The honor to give the introductory talk had Acad. Prof. dr Zoran Petrović. Ivke was member of the Scientific Committee for the forth consecutive time. Also, Ivke chaired the Thursday’s mourning Plenary Session.
At the poster presentation part of the conference, Biljana presented the poster entitled “Appearance of Be II 436.1 nm line with forbidden component in LIBS plasma”, while Ivan presented the poster entitled “VUV Spectroscopy of the He II – Lyman Series for electron density estimation”.
We are also proud to announce that we invited five lecturers.
