Research interests:

Our group is involved in the theoretical study of low dimensional effects in solid matter: surfaces, interfaces and nanostructures. We calculate their structural, electronic and magnetic properties, based both on ab-initio formalisms and semiempirical models, with special emphasis on the investigation of materials for spintronics.

Metal surfaces and surface alloys.
Magnetic anisotropy and spin dynamics.
Dilute magnetic oxides.
Oxide heterostructures.
