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!
LIBS 2022 Bari
Ivke, along side with prof. Miroslav Kuzmanović and prof. Jelena Savović participated at international LIBS 2022 conference held in Bari to present recent results obtained through the project IDEAS, financed by Science Fund of the Republic of Serbia.
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.
We got project through government program IDEJE
It is our great pleasure to inform you that our laboratory got the project financed by Science Fund of Republic of Serbia through program IDEJE. Project is entitled Novel approach to laser induced breakdown spectroscopy diagnostics of fusion reactor plasma facing components under the acronim NOVA2LIBS4fusion. We are the principal institution on this project, and it is being done in collaboration with Faculy of Physical Chemistry (University of Belgrade), Vinča Institute of Nuclear Sciences and Faculty of Engineering Sciences of University of Kragujevac.
The implementation of this project started this February and lasts three years. Total funds allowed are 369 000 €.
