Description

 

Theoretical and experimental study of the electrical, magnetic and transport properties in magnetic materials

 

In this line of research are studied through experimental and theoretical methods with different levels of approximation, the magnetism, electronic and transport properties of various types of nanostructures such as nanoparticles, alloys, nanowires and multilayers. Our group has several synthesis and characterization devices, as well as several computational equipment's organized in “cluster” type that have allowed the realization of systematic studies of this kind of materials

 

Geometric and magnetic optimization on nanostructures at finite temperature.

 

In thiis line of work, theoretical design of several types of nanostructures is realized. The materials are designed with the assistance of high resolution microscopy images and are used as the base to explain experimental measurements through the use of theoretical models. Also. trough the use of simplified models  the properties of this materials  at different temperatures are analyzed, this has a fundamental importance when it come to the interpretation of the observed measurements on real systems.

 

Electronic properties of Carbon nanostructures.

 

In this line of research are studied the electronic and structural  nanostructures of Carbon with different symmetries, for example nanotubes, fullerenes and nanoconos. Likewise, encapsulation processes are analyzed, as well as the absorption of atoms and molecules in the external surface, with the purpose of manipulating the properties of these systems and analyze the possible applications of this materials as gas  storages, field emissaries and sensors.
