Researchers from MAGNIFIC project have participated in the organization of a “CECAM flagship school” on SIESTA

Researchers from MAGNIFIC (Dr. Coll-Benejam and Dr. Pruneda) have participated in the organization of a “CECAM flagship school” on SIESTA, an atomistic first-principles code that is being used in MAGNIFIC to study electronic, thermal and optical properties of nc-Si. The school was aimed at students and researchers from different disciplines in materials science who use, […]

Materials for a next-generation (nano-)opto-electro-mechanical systems

Nano-opto-electro-mechanics (NOEMS) is an emerging field with unparalleled prospects for the design of efficient and low-power devices for ICT. However, to capitalize NOEMS potential, a flexible and up-scalable technology platform must be established, preferably based on current microelectronic technology.   MAGNIFIC aims at filling this gap focusing on nanocrystalline silicon (nc-Si), only recently used in […]
