Deskribapena Our research is focused on the relationship between crystal structure and physical properties of materials, and includes the following three main research lines: a theoretical line, centered on the systematic analysis of symmetry, using group theory, an experimental line devoted to the synthesis and characterization of new materials with potential technological interest, and a third line that includes ab-initio calculations whose main objective is to understand the basic physical mechanisms that give rise to a specific property of a material. The developed crystallographic tools are implemented in the free on-line Bilbao Crystallographic Server or BCS (www.cryst.ehu.eus), maintained by members and ex- members of our team. At present, it includes more than one hundred programs and databases.
