In our new paper on Advanced Functional Materials “Nanoscale Spatial Tuning of Superconductivity in CuprateThin Films via Direct Laser Writing” (https://doi.org/10.1002/adfm.77288), we demonstrated a direct laser writing approach for the nanoscale engineering of the superconducting properties in YBCO thin films. Our approach enables the direct fabrication of superconducting nanostructures with tailored functionalities, opening new opportunities for nanoscale superconducting devices and […]

In our new paper on Nature Communications “Three-dimensional nanoscale control of magnetism in crystalline Yttrium Iron Garnet” (https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-025-64630-5), we demonstrated the capabilities of the direct laser writing approach for controlling the magnetic properties of a 1µm-thick, single crystal YIG. The technique allows for a single-step, local enhancement of the perpendicular magnetic anisotropy, which allows for the control of the spin-wave […]

In our new paper on Nature Communications, we use X-Ray Microscopy Imaging for acquiring time-resolved snapshots of the spin dynamics in a synthetic antiferromagnet, with nanoscale spatial resolution and sub-nanosecond temporal resolution. Congrats Davide and team!

We published a Perspective article on Phase Nanoengineering, which uses highly localized heat and light 🔎🔥 to craft the physical properties of condensed matter, creating new nanomaterials and devices.
The paper is out now on Advanced Materials Technologies!

Our Primer on thermally assisted scanning probe lithography (tSPL) has been published in Nature Reviews Methods Primers! We address the basics and applications of thermal scanning probe lithography, from biology to magnetism to nanoelectronics.

Our new review paper “Review on Magnonics with Engineered Spin Textures” is out in Journal of Physics D: Applied Physics! We cover how to stabilize spin textures, and how to use them for generating / guiding / manipulating spin waves.

The 2021 Magnonics Roadmap, with our contribution in the section “Interaction of Magnons with Spin textures” is out in Open Access on the Journal of Physics: Condensed Matter.

In this work, we demonstrate a new methodology for generating and manipulating spin wave wavefronts in nanostructured synthetic antiferromagnets. The paper was published in Jan ’20 in Advanced Materials, and appeared on the Front Cover of the March 5th issue.
