Spin-Waals group

Welcome

At Spin-Waals group we are interested in understanding the electronic and optical properties of magnetic van der Waals heterostructures by means of advanced computational methods and first-principles calculations. These materials are the building blocks of future spintronic nanodevices and new emerging quantum technologies. For this reason, at the Spin-Waals group we aim to find novel applications based on the exotic properties of these metamaterials.
