Research
Group activity focuses on the controlled and rational synthesis of inorganic and hybrid (inorganic-organic) nanoparticles and nanocomposites and the study of their structural -functional properties. Among others, we are currently interested in the stabilization of metastable phases, the preparation of core-shell nanoparticles, stable colloidal dispersions and porous nanocomposites. Some of the synthetic methods we are using are sol-gel chemistry, supercritical fluids, thermal decompositon or microwaves. We must confess a soft spot for magnetic systems…
We aim at the applicability of our materials in the HEALTH and in the INFORMATION TECHNOLOGIES sectors:
INFORMATION TECHNOLOGIES
- Magneto-electric materials
- Magneto-photonic materials
- Hard-magnetic materials
NANOMEDICINE

El CSIC logra efectos ópticos “extraordinarios” en ópalos magnéticos artificiales
Una investigación del Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (CSIC) ha diseñado materiales con propiedades ópticas no convencionales gracias al desarrollo de cristales artificiales a base de ópalos magnéticos autoensamblados. Dichas estructuras “aumentan extraordinariamente” la actividad magneto‐óptica para ciertas frecuencias de la luz. El cristal opalino consta de una estructura perfectamente ordenada de esferas huecas de óxido de aluminio (Al2O3) y diámetro aproximado de 300 nanómetros.
El estudio, dirigido por los investigadores del CSIC en el Instituto de Ciencias de Materiales de Bacerlona, Gervasi Herranz y Anna Roig, demuestra que al atravesar estas estructuras se induce en la luz una rotación muy intensa de su plano de polarización para longitudes de onda cercanas al parámetro de red de los ópalos. Este fenómeno podría ser de utilidad para una nueva generación de dispositivos en comunicaciones ópticas.
