Description

Consolidated Research Group of type A by the Basque Government with reference IT1005-16 made up of personnel from the Departments of Electricity and Electronics and Physics of the Faculty of Science and Technology. The group is the fusion of the nuclear techniques laboratory in which there are unique and singular spectroscopies in the Basque Country and the Luminescence laboratory. It has stable research collaborations with foreign groups from Argentina, Finland, Japan, Switzerland (CNRS) ... and currently two of his doctorates are doing postdocs at American universities (Berkeley and Stanford). The main lines of research are focused on both, materials with potential applications and biomedicine, where in collaboration with other groups of the Faculty, doctors from the Faculty of Medicine and Galdakao Hospital we are developing a therapy against cancer.

Research lines

  1. Design and development of instrumentation for cancer diagnosis and therapy: Magnetic Hyperthermia
  2. Magnetic nanoparticles and its application in magnetic hyperthermia
  3. Noble metal nanoparticles
  4. Magnetic materials for technological applications: Ferromagnetic and Metamagnetic Shape Memory Alloys
  5. Novel Applications of Positron Annihilation Spectroscopy (Biomaterials and Biopolymers)
  6. Study of nanostructures of transparent semiconductors and other materials doped with luminescent elements (MOF and POM).

Equipment

  • 3 Positron annihilation spectrometers
  • 2 Mössbauer spectrometers
  • Photoluminiscence equipment
  • DSC calorimeter
  • Treatment furnaces
