Description of research activity:

The group's research activity focuses on the design and theoretical characterisation of new materials based on two-dimensional (2D) crystals that can be controlled by external stimuli (light, pressure, temperature, etc.). Specifically, we focus on understanding their electronic, structural, magnetic and vibrational properties using first-principle methods and Hamiltonian models, based on the tools provided by quantum chemistry, solid-state physics and materials science. Our main objective is both the development and application of efficient theoretical and computational frameworks that serve as a driving force to create intelligent 2D materials. Our research, on the frontier between physics and chemistry, also covers their possible applications in emerging fields such as magnonics, spintronics, quantum computing and sensors.

Research lines:
  • Two-dimensional magnetic materials.We explore magnetic properties and their possible applications in spintronics and magnonics through state-of-the-art computational and Hamiltonian model methods using a chemical approach
  • Hybrid molecular/2D heterostructures.We study the properties of sublimable organic and inorganic molecules on the surface of two-dimensional materials, modelling the properties that develop at the interface with the aim of creating new intelligent devices based on the coherent control of these properties.
  • Low-dimensional molecular materials.We design and research low-dimensional molecular materials with interesting magnetic properties (molecular nanomagnets, molecular quantum bits, magnetic metal-organic frameworks etc.) taking advantage of the great flexibility provided by chemistry.
