Functional Materials and Devices

...searching for a needle in the haystack!

Basically what we've done is to look for quite a tiny variation in the magnetic field direction of an iron ultra-thin layer in contact with a ferroelectric Hf-Zr-O "driver", by making use of our...

New set-up to perform Transmission Moessbauer Spectroscopy installed at IMM Agrate Brianza

From October 2018, the CNR-IMM Unit of Agrate Brianza is equipped with a new set-up to perform Transmission Mössbauer Spectroscopy (TMS), which has been developed in the framework of CYBER-SORT, a...

Atomic layer deposition for MOEMS and MEMS applications

Due to the high conformality, excellent thickness control, availability of dense and pinhole free films of different materials at low deposition temperature and low cost, atomic layer deposition (...

Synthesis and Investigation of Multifunctional Materials

This activity is mainly focused on the synthesis and advanced characterization of materials displaying diverse functionalities. Researchers at IMM Agrate Brianza have a long-standing experience in...

Single atom electronics with nanowires: a route to ultra-scaled quantum devices

The doping of semiconductors is a key element for the production of semiconductor devices, and it has been widely studied for bulk crystals. The possibility of realizing semiconductor nanowires...
