Investigators from the ICN2 Advanced Electron Nanoscopy Group have collaborated in an international research to show that inorganic ligands can be used to improve the performance as a thermoelectric material of SnTe-CdSe nanocomposites. The efficiency obtained with this procedure is the highest reported for this material and was highlighted in the front cover of JACS.

A study recently published on Nano Letters has revealed interesting properties of monolayer molybdenum diselenide (MoSe2), which can open up to spintronic applications of this nanomaterial. A sample with a low concentration of dopants and many crystal defects has shown spin lifetimes of 100ns at room temperature and spin polarization reversal over 60K. Dr Zeila Zanolli, Ramon y Cajal researcher at the ICN2 Theory and Simulation Group, has played a fundamental role in the theoretical interpretation of these results.
