Research Interests
|
|
|
Dr. Jordi Sort is currently investigating the nanomagnetic and nanomechanical properties of a wide range of materials, including nanoparticles, thin films and bulky specimens. Among the most relevant recent achievements one can mention: the use of nanoindentation and selective ion irradiation to form magnetic structures embedded in non-magnetic matrices; the ductilization of metallic glasses by development of nanostructured morphologies; the growth of new types of coatings with enhanced mechanical and magnetic properties; the characterization of mesoporous materials and onion-type nanoparticles with interlayer magnetic interactions; the development of advanced biodegradable materials for orthopedic implants; the characterization of remotely-actuated magnetic nanowires for biomedical applications.
