The main concept of the present activity is the synthesis and application of photocatalytic nanostructured materials for water treatment. Nanomaterials are indeed very efficient photocatalysts due to their large surface/volume ratio.
We exploit the capabilities of plasma to produce advanced materials for several applications, ranging from solar cells to advanced nanostructured materials to be integrated in state of the art devices.
This research activity at IMM Agrate is mainly focused on the use of chemical methods such as atomic layer deposition (ALD) and chemical vapour deposition (CVD) to synthesize materials for applications in spin-based electronics (spintronics).
Information processing in classical von Neumann architectures is less efficient compared to biological counterparts when dealing with ill-posed problems and noisy data.
Memristive systems represent today a disruptive technology for the semiconductor industry towards several applications such as data storage (non-volatile memories), non-volatile logic, analog circuits, biomimetic devices, novel computing paradigms such as neuromorphic com
The MORE, or "Advanced Metal-Oxide heterostructures for nanoscale RERAM" project focuses on the synthesis and characterization of resistive switching properties of thin film- and nanowire- heterostructures, as building blocks for future nanodevices. In particular, Metal-transition metal Oxides- Metal (MOM) thin film and nanowire heterostructures are exploited as memory elements for ultra-scaled Resistive switching Random Access non-volatile Memories (ReRAMs).
