Welcome.....
to the Unit of Optoelectronic Materials and Devices or UMDO (Unidad de materiales y dispositivos optoelectronicos) - associated to the Microelectronics Institute of Madrid (CNM/CSIC)
We investigate the physics and applications of nanoscale photonic and plasmonic materials. These can enhance light-matter interactions by orders of magnitude for numerous applications:
photovolatic technology, nonlinear phenomena, multi-material devices, sensors, basic physics, etc.
The Team, minus the group leader/professional photographer, April 2011.
Our
group members come from a variety of disciplines such as
Materials Science, Chemistry, Telecommunications, Electrical Engineering, Physics, and Applied and Engineering Physics.
Our expertise ranges from electromagnetism theory to materials, chemistry and device characterization and fabrication.
Fabrication is done within our Nanofabrication Facility and/or in collaboration with our external partners.
Recently some of our work has been the inspiration for a
spinoff company, Intenanomat, whose main business activity at present is the
synthesis, development and commercialization of different types of nanoparticles (metallic, semiconducting, magnetic and other)
and nanocomposites for applications in cosmetics, biomedicine, photonics and photovoltaics.
