Advanced characterization for functional nanostructured materials

The Advanced Characterization and Nanostructured Materials (ACNM) group generates fundamental and applied knowledge for the implementation of functional oxide materials in novel technologies, including spintronics and advanced nanodevices.

The group combines functional property studies with structural characterization of functional defects, complex oxide thin films, self-assembled materials and nanoparticles for life sciences.

Its research connects advanced materials synthesis, nanoscale structure, functional properties and device-oriented applications within the ICMAB research ecosystem.

Research challenges

ACNM addresses the relationship between nanoscale structure, defects and functional properties in materials designed for future technologies.

Functional oxide materials

Understanding and engineering oxide materials with advanced electronic, magnetic and functional responses.

Defects and structure
