He developed a new research field for the LaMM group related to the deposition of single-molecule magnets, organic radicals, valence tautomers, spin cross-over and single chain magnets on surfaces establishing specific preparation protocols based on wet chemistry and UHV-compatible approaches. He adopted and combined several characterization tools for the analysis of these hybrid nanostructures including the use of scanning probe microscopies and other surface science techniques with extensive use of large-scale facility tools.
He is now interested in the evaluation of magnetic field effects and chirality in hybrid architectures and he is working on the incorporation of magnetic molecules and nanoparticles in these complex structures exploring their functional properties for photovoltaics, spintronic, catalysis and magnetoplasmonic purposes.
In parallel, he started to collaborate with local industries to promote their innovation based on the development and the use of nanomaterials and nanotech-related characterization tools.
