Functional Materials
Exploring and optimizing functional materials through advanced experimental characterization.
This research line is dedicated to the experimental investigation of novel functional materials, with a particular focus on amorphous and nanocrystalline systems. It aims to understand how composition and processing conditions influence the structure and physical properties of materials. Special attention is given to the emergence of magnetic and multiferroic phases, as well as to optical properties such as selective emission and resonant light-matter interaction. Advanced characterization techniques involving electromagnetic fields and electron beams across a wide temperature range are used to probe their behavior at different length scales, from the fundamental quantum building blocks to the macroscopic behavior. This research is closely connected to technological applications, contributing to the development of materials for sensors, alternative energy sources, and electronics, among others.
