Magnetism Group Departamento de Física
- About us
The group is interested in the research of different aspects of magnetism and molecular electronics, with focus on the fundamental properties of molecules, clusters, nano-structures and macroscopic media. We are interested, besides basic physical aspects, in possible applications of the above topics on renewable-energy-and cost-saving potential, high efficiency and reliability of new and ecologic technologies.
