Group description

The magnetism and magnetic materials group (GMMM) was formed in the late 1980s, initially led by Dr. José Manuel Barandiaran and since 2013 led by Dr. Mª Luisa Fernández-Gubieda.

The group develops an intense research and training work with more than 200 indexed publications and 7 theses defended in the last 6 years, and 9 theses in progress. As a result of the consistent and productive research performed, the group is acknowledged as an "A" class consolidated research group in the Basque Country and has international reputation.

At present, it is an interdisciplinary group composed of Physicists, Electronic Engineers and Biologists working together.

The main objective of the group is to prepare and characterize new magnetic materials with special properties for outstanding applications.

Nowadays there are three main research lines: Magnetotactic bacteria as a theranostic agent, Ferromagnetic shape memory alloys and magnetic sensor.

Research Lines

ADVANCED MATERIALS AND PROCESSES

  • Motivated by the fundamental need to develop novel nanotechnology-based pathways to achieve relevant performance for biomedical purposes, the Group of Magnetism and Magnetic Materials (GMMM) (UPV / EHU) investigates the use of magnetotactic bacteria as nano-bio-robots (nanobiots) for the fight against cancer.

  • Ferromagnetic Shape Memory Alloys are active materials that develop high recoverable shape changes under the effect of mechanical stress or magnetic field in very short times (a few milliseconds). Due to their remarkable properties in actuation, vibration damping and sensing have permeated into many industries, such as the biomedical, energy or aerospace. The main objective of this research line is the combination of applied and fundamental research to improve the material performances and the comprehension of the involved physical processes

  • We design magnetic sensors based mainly on two different phenomena Giant Magneto Impedance (GMI) and Magnetoelastic (ME) effects. GMI produces huge changes in the electric impedance of a soft magnetic material and provides excellent sensitivities to small magnetic fields. ME effect consists in the magnetic state of some materials being altered by mechanical action and vice versa. When driven to resonance it is an extremely sensitive effect. Beside, Magnetoelectric composites are also multifunctional materials with outstanding sensitivity for sensors and excellent performance as energy harvesters.

Cross-border Collaboration (if any)

Even though, at present we do not have collaboration with a research group settled in New Aquitaine Region, we would like to start a collaboration in field of advanced magnetic materials. Our group are working in three research lines: advanced magnetic materials for biomedical application, advanced multifunctional materials and magnetic sensors
