Research Lines

The Nanomaterials group is led by Dr. Mato Knez. The activity of the Nanomaterials group is focused on the synthesis and functionalization of materials. Its research programme has been divided into thin-film coating, hybrid inorganic-organic materials, and bio-organic nanomaterials.

Nanomaterials Equipment

Experimental work in the Nanomaterials group is performed by means of equipment specially dedicated to our research lines. The group has also access to nanoGUNE's common facilities and equipment, including a cleanroom of nearly 300 m2 and the Electron-Microscopy Laboratory.

  • Two-step excitation unlocks and steers exotic nanolight

    A new two-step excitation technique efficiently generates and separates different modes of hyperbolic polaritons — directional nanoscale light-matter modes with extreme electromagnetic field confinement — opening new opportunities for ultra-compact photonic circuits.
