IN MEMORIAM – Prof. Diana Dulić

Posted on by

With immeasurable sadness, we inform you that our dear colleague, friend, and project partner, Prof. Diana Dulić, passed away suddenly this weekend in the Netherlands.

She completed her undergraduate studies at the Faculty of Physics, University of Belgrade, and obtained her PhD from the University of Groningen in the Netherlands. She built an outstanding academic and research career at prestigious European institutions before joining the University of Chile in 2013. At the Department of Physics, she served as a professor and achieved a distinguished scientific career in the fields of molecular electronics and two-dimensional materials, making an important contribution to the development of interdisciplinary research in nanotechnology.

Prof. Diana Dulić was a long-standing collaborator of the Center for Solid State Physics and New Materials at the Institute of Physics Belgrade. In recent months, within the framework of the joint project “2D Material Field Effect Transistor–based Photodetectors” (Program for Cooperation of Serbian Science with the Diaspora), she made a significant contribution through her expertise in improving transport measurements for the development of photodetectors based on 2D materials.

Her unexpected passing has deeply shaken her family, friends, and colleagues. The Center for Solid State Physics and New Materials expresses its sincere gratitude to Prof. Diana Dulić for her selfless contribution to the development of our Center and for the exceptional collaboration on our joint projects to date. Her work and memory will remain permanently present in our scientific community.

Lectures: Introduction to Nanoelectronics

Posted on by

The fifth lecture “Two terminal quantum dot devices” was organized on Thursday, December 25 in Seminar Room at Center of Solid State Physics and New Materials at Institute of Physics Belgrade. The seminar was organized in hybrid mode, also for the researchers that can not be present in person. The participants had possibilities to discuss in-person with Prof. Diana Dulić.

 

The fourth lecture in the series, “The Quantum Particle in a Box – Part 2,” was delivered on December 08, 2025, by Diana Dulić as part of the webinar mini-course Lectures in Nanoelectronics. In this lecture, we discussed how electron confinement depends on the dimensionality of a structure. To simplify the analysis, the material is modeled as a “particle in a box.” This approach ignores the atomic structure and assumes the material is perfectly homogeneous. Depending on the number of confined dimensions, we distinguish between three-dimensional systems (bulk materials), two-dimensional systems (quantum wells), one-dimensional systems (quantum wires), and zero-dimensional systems (quantum dots).

 

The third lecture in the series, entitled “The Quantum Particle in a Box – Part 1,” was delivered on December 1, 2025, by Diana Dulić as part of the webinar mini-course Lectures in Nanoelectronics. In this lecture, we studied techniques for calculating the energy levels of electron states.

The second lecture in the series, entitled “The Quantum Particle – Part 2,” was conducted on November 24, 2025, by Diana Dulić as part of the webinar mini-course Lectures in Nanoelectronics. It provided a basic introduction to quantum electronics that will support a better understanding of nanoelectronics.

The initial session of the series, entitled “The Quantum Particle – Part 1,” was conducted on November 17, 2025, by Diana Dulić as part of the webinar mini-course Lectures in Nanoelectronics.

Scheduled visit to Universidad de Chile

Posted on by

It was a great pleasure to visit the Department of Physics, Facultad de Ciencias Físicas y Matemáticas, at the Universidad de Chile in Santiago, Chile. The visit provided an excellent scientific environment for fruitful discussions, collaboration, and the exchange of knowledge in the field of advanced materials research. The visit was carried out by the Serbian team members Jovan Blagojević and Ivana Milošević to the diaspora team, led by Diana Dulić. The visit strengthened scientific collaboration and contributed to effective knowledge exchange between the teams.

The campus of the Universidad de Chile in Santiago is characterized by modern infrastructure and a strong research-oriented environment that fosters interdisciplinary collaboration. The faculty hosts well-equipped laboratories and research centers, providing excellent conditions for high-quality scientific work.

During two-weeks stay of IPB team members at UChile, through a transfer of knowledge, Dr Ivana Milošević and Jovan Blagojević were trained on the system for electrical measurements and photodetection, the associated software (home-build Python-based acquisition program), and the contact fabrication system. Electrical responsivity measurements were performed on undoped WSe2 thin films obtained by the liquid-phase exfoliation (LPE) method at different wavelengths, as well as on films doped with nickel using a single-step method developed at the Institute of Physics in Belgrade.

In addition to the excellent conditions for high-quality scientific work, Santiago is a vibrant and welcoming city that offers a high quality of life. Surrounded by the Andes Mountains, the city provides exceptional natural scenery and easy access to outdoor activities, while its parks and green spaces contribute to a pleasant urban environment.

In between the experimental sessions, there was also time for enjoyment, which provided both relaxation and valuable mental exercise.
