Back at the Ciqus, I was leading a project to develop a new technique controlling a phase transition on an oxide film via voltage-bias AFM at the micron size. This project is proposed to control the optical, electronic and magnetic properties in multilayers and/or nanoparticles to develop real devices or circuits based on oxide materials: Oxitronics. I was also involved in teaching activities as assistant professor in the department of Chemistry-Physics in the USC around 80h and co-supervised a final degree project in Chemistry (2017-2018) and taught several training seminars to PhD students (2018).

Design of new thermoelectric devices based on layered and field modulated nanostructures of strongly correlated electron systems (2DTHERMS). Thermoelectric (TE) materials produce an electrical voltage in response to a temperature gradient. On a reverse version of this effect, thermoelectric cooling occurs when an electric current is passed through the system. Therefore, these materials can be used in thermoelectric energy conversion devices.We are exploring the possibility of using low dimensional correlated oxides and nitrides (thin-films and multilayers) as TE materials. We try to exploit the effects of electronic and phononic confinement and interface scattering to optimize their thermoelectric performance. We are now involved in the fabrication of multilayers of different oxides and nitrides by Pulsed Laser Deposition (PLD). Show less

During the last decades a large effort has been invested in a new area of research (Plasmonics) because of the promise of new materials capable of remarkable optical properties (sensing applications), the possibility of confining (nanophotonics) and guiding light (computing applications). I am particularly interested in plasmonic sensors for gas or biosensing applications. Also, I have led the preparation and characterization of magnetoplasmonic materials, i.e., materials where the magnetooptical (MO) activity and the Surface Plasmon resonances are intertwined. On one hand, it is possible to enhance the MO activity of the system via surface plasmon excitation, and this is of interest for very accurate sensors. On the other hand, to modulate the plasmon properties via application of a magnetic field, that is interesting for active plasmonic devices implementation. In particular, I have optimized materials composed of noble and ferromagnetic metals and dielectrics in the form of thin films and nanostructures for this purpose. Show less
