Research Activities

Structural and magnetic properties of nanostructured materials

• Magnetic and structural anisotropy of magnetic thin films in multilayer systems
  combining elemental sensitivity of X-ray absorption spectroscopies and depth selectivity of X-ray Standing Wave excitation.
• Electronic properties of ZnO nanorods upon excimer laser irradiation
  synchrotron radiation techniques (UPS, XPS, GI-XRD) and laboratory techniques (SEM, electrical conductivity) have been used to characterize at different scales the nanorods behavior including the evolution of their electronic properties as well as their
• Magnetic and structural anisotropy of Co thin films intercalated between Graphene and Ir(111)
  combining laboratory and synchrotron radiation techniques (XPS, LEED, MOKE, XRR, GI-XRD, XANES, EXAFS)

X-ray techniques applied to cultural heritage

• Quantitative analysis of ancient gold coins carried out combining XRF and t-SNE algorithm. Chemical speciation of metals found in the debris accumulated on the surface of the artefact.
