Productivity (from web of science)
Research activityMission:• 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.
