As reported in a recent paper published in Nature Physics, a team, composed of researchers from the Unité Mixte de Physique CNRS-THALES, CNR SPIN, the University Federico II of Naples and the Paul Scherrer Institute in Switzerland, has discovered a new type of 2D-electron gas, at the interface between two compounds of the perovskite oxide family, that is both ferroelectric and magnetic while being an excellent electrical conductor.

As described in a paper just published in NPJ Flexible Electronics, a journal of the Nature group, an innovative fully flexible proton detector, operating at low-voltage (V = −1 V), has been developed within the FIRE project funded by INFN within the activities of the V National Scientific Group.

Consolidando le esperienze svolte nel recente passato, anche per l'annualità in corso, SPIN, presso la sede secondaria di Napoli, ha attivato dei Percorsi per le Competenze Trasversali e l’Orientamento (PCTO) per studenti di scuola secondaria superiore.

Transparent conductive and semiconductive oxides are a class of materials that combine high optical transparency with electrical conductivity. They are fundamental components of photovoltaic cells and other photonic devices; their electrical and optical properties critically depend on their charge-carrier density, meaning that tuning this parameter affects both their electrical and photonic performance.

An international collaboration among Southeast University, Nanjing University (China), Donostia International Physics Center (Spain), CNR-SPIN through Alessandro Stroppa and other institutions, focused on Single-Component White Circularly Polarized Luminescence in Chiral 1D Perovskites with a study just published in Advanced Optical Materials.

Una collaborazione internazionale, in cui l'istituto CNR-SPIN è particolarmente coinvolto nelle persone del ricercatore Cesare Tresca e del Prof. Gianni Profeta, ha spiegato i meccanismi microscopici alla base della transizione superconduttiva del mercurio in una recente pubblicazione.

The patent no. US11415642 “A device for sensing a magnetic field” owned by the National Research Council (CNR), the University of Chieti-Pescara and Quantified Air B.V. (NL) has been recently granted by the US Patent & Trademark Office. The invention described and claimed in this patent is part of the results of the FET-Open project “OXiNEMS” coordinated by CNR-SPIN.

In questi giorni, è stato attivato l’account istituzionale di SPIN su Twitter. Nella fase inziale di utilizzo, il canale TWITTER segnalerà la pubblicazione di nuove news sul sito dell’Istituto, riproponendone il titolo e il relativo link. Si auspica che tutti i membri della comunità SPIN, già attivi su Twitter, possano essere interessati a seguire il nuovo account istituzionale.

On November 15th, CNR-SPIN Director, Fabio Miletto Granozio, visited the CERN labs in Geneva. During his visit, Fabio had the opportunity to discuss about the ongoing collaborations between SPIN and CERN groups and to identify new possible research themes which could be synergistically developed in the next future.

Lo scorso 4 Novembre, nella suggestiva location di Villa Mondragone, presso il comune di Monte Porzio Catone (Roma), si è svolta una nuova edizione del Congresso di SPIN.
