Research fields

CIC nanoGUNE focuses its research activities on the following four major strategic areas:

Physics of low-dimensional structures, nanostructures and nanoscale structured complex systems.
Synthesis, assembling and nanofabrication of nanomaterials (nanoparticles, nanotubes, thin films, nanocomposites) and nanostructured materials.
Development of nanodevices and its impact on molecular electronics, spintronics, nanomagnetism and nanophotonics.
Biofunctional nanoparticles and nanobiotechnology

The research programme is implemented through 10 research groups.
