Research activity
Mission:
• Generate new knowledge from phenomena which occur when the
matter is of nanometer size.
• Apply the nanoscience paradigm to silicon or silicon compatible
materials
– to enable new application of this key material
– to develop nanosystems compatible with the main driving silicon
technologies.
• Emphasis is placed on nanophotonics and its applications
• New projects concern hybrid organic/inorganic nanostructures to
tailor atom-by-atom their properties or metals to investigate
plasmonics.
• Research projects span from
– fundamental research work on the interaction between biomolecules
and silicon nanostructures or on the control of photons by dynamically
structuring the dielectric environment
– applied research work on the development of integrated optical
circuits, optical switches, light emitting devices and amplifiers, novel
MIR and THz sources, third generation photovoltaic and biosensors.
