The UV research groups (GIUV) are regulated in the 1st chapter of the Regulation ACGUV48/2013, which explains the procedure for creating new research structures. They are basic research and organizational structures that result from the voluntary association of researchers that share objectives, facilities, resources and common lines of research. These researchers are also committed to the consolidation and stability of their activity, work in groups and the capability to achieve a sustainable funding.
The research groups included in the previously mentioned Regulation are registered in the Register of Research Structures of the Universitat de València (REIUV), managed by the Office of the Vice-principal for Research. The basic information of these organisms can be found in this website.

Reference of the Group:
Description of research activity: The research activity of the group is currently focused on the development of these projects: MAT2012-33483 (IP Andrés Cantarero, CSD2010-0044 (Coordinator Clivia Sotomayor, from the ICN) and the ITN Nanowiring (Coordinator Angela Rizzi, from the University of Göttingen, Germany). Within the framework of these projects, we study the applications of semiconductor nanowires in the fields of energy and photonics. The studies range from the fundamental level, through the study of their structural, electronic and optoelectronic properties, to their application in thermoelectric or optoelectronic (in particular solar cells) devices or in integrated photonics. The theoretical support is oriented towards the development of semi-empirical methods for the design and modelling of semiconductor nanostructures. A wide variety of techniques have been implemented to exploit existing experimental results and those obtained by first-principles techniques. Semi-empirical methods facilitate the synergy between theory and experiment. These methods also allow the design of electronic and optoelectronic devices. Synthesis and characterisation of conductive, thermostable and thermoplastic polymers.

Scientific-technical goals: - Dispositius termoelectrics; dispositius fotonics integrats; metodes semi-empirics multiescala per a l'estudi de nanoestructures; metodes ab initio
Research lines: - Synthesis and characterization of polymers.Synthesis of different types of polymers (conductive, thermoplastic and thermosetting) from the corresponding monomers. Characterisation of the thermal, mechanical, rheological, spectroscopic and conductive properties of these polymers.
- Thermoelectric devices.Study of materials for the manufacture of thermoelectric devices, based on semiconductor nanostructures (nanowires), polymers and hybrid materials. Measurement of thermoelectric properties, such as the Seebeck effect, electrical and thermal conductivity, and thermoelectric efficiency.
- Structural, electronic and optical properties by ab initio methods.Obtaining physical properties by means of first-principles models. Optical, magnetic, electronic properties.
- Theory and modelling of semiconductor nanostructures.The goal is to develop multiscale semiempirical methods for semiconductor nanostructure design and modelling. It is our guideline to show that proper implementations of empirical methods are capable of delivering new levels of understanding and design for both materials and devices alike.
- Acoustic modulation of nanostructures.By means of surface acoustic waves we dynamically control: 1) the optoelectronic properties of semiconductor nanostructures such as nanowires or quantum dots, for single photon emitters and 2) integrated photonics structures, for the realisation of tunable devices.
