STATISTICAL PHYSICS AND PHYSICS OF DISPERSED MEDIA FQM278

Description

The main focus of the group is the development of theoretical studies and numerical methods and simulations to study the collective behavior of systems of nanoparticles. In particular, they study the behaviour of nanoparticle suspensions in aqueous media. These systems have an interest in biotechnology and biomedical applications. They also study the ordering of assemblies of magnetic nanoparticles, exploring the physical limits for the storage of information on magnetic media. Moreover, it maintains collaboration in external projects of other research groups, which belong to other Universities, OPIs (such as the CSIC) and R & D & I services of many technological companies. Many of these collaborations are based on the expert use of multiphysics simulation and nume
