Research areas
The research activity ranks in the field of the synthesis of inorganic and hybrid organic-inorganic and bio-organic-inorganic amorphous materials, obtained both through innovative methods of synthesis by low temperature (sol-gel) that through synthesis procedures traditional from high temperature (melting and quenching of oxide mixtures). The optimization of the procedure and the type of synthesis is performed according to the different application of the material.
Materials with a different degree of porosity, in the form of transparent thin films or powders, were obtained by sol-gel, which have been used as sensors, heterogeneous catalysts, constituent elements of thin film photovoltaic cells.
Special glasses and glass-ceramics were obtained by melting and quenching of oxide mixtures in order to study the relationship between structural change at the nanoscale (nanostructuring ) of the amorphous matrix and the non-linear optical properties, such as the second harmonic generation and the Raman amplification.
