Lines of research

The several research topics of the department can be grouped in six big blocks that correspond with the six groups of research that there are in the department, all them consolidated by the Government of Catalonia. Many of these lines of research have an interdisciplinary component, involving the science of the materials and the nanotechnology in it.

Group of Thin Films and Surface Engineering

Area of Laser Processing and Biomedical Applications

Area of Hard Coatings

Solar Energy Group
	Development of materials and photovoltaic devices Strategies of energetic efficiency in buildings

Thin film structures for spintronics Group (GECFE)

Preparation and characterization of thin films of oxides by Pulsed Laser Deposition with functional properties

Thin film structures and devices for the applications in electronics of spin

Tunable devices in high frequency based in thin film of ferroelectric and superconductor materials of high critical temperature

Physics and Engineering of Amorphous Materials and Nanostructures (FEMAN)
	Production and characterization of sub-crystalline and amorphous materials in thin films, in nanometric powders and nanostructured layers which result from the application of deposition techniques under vacuum, such as: • plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition • DC and RF magnetron sputtering • ionic bombardment • sputtering assisted by ion beam
