2020 - Heterostructure membranes and process for fabricating heterostructure membranes
(patent application pending)
|
Abstract |
Picture |
|
Oxide membranes of nanoscale thickness allow to obtain new material functionalities and to integrate oxides in flexible electronic technologies. LaAlO3/SrTiO3 represents the oxide counterpart of the semiconductors high mobility heterostructures playing a pivotal role in modern electronics. We demonstrated a route to fabricate LaAlO3/SrTiO3 free-standing superconducting epitaxial micromembranes via Pulsed Laser Deposition (PLD), through a pure strain-engineering approach. Such membranes are easily transferred and contacted on Si-chips. |

2020 – A device for sensing a magnetic field
(patent granted)
|
Abstract |
Picture |
|
A device for sensing tiny magnetic fields, i.e. those generated by biological sources, working at 77K and with an all-optical readout, robust to external DC and pulsed applied fields. Our sensor is a good candidate for a multichannel system to image brain activity and connectivity with high spatial and temporal resolution, combining magnetoencephalography with magnetic resonance imaging and transcranial magnetic stimulation in the same system. |

2020 - A magnetic field sensor
(patent granted)
|
Abstract |
Picture |
|
A novel MEMS magnetometer is the object of this brief. The sensor can be fabricated with standard industrial MEMS process and offers high resolution, whilst being of compact in size and with low power consumption. Such device can be integrated with existing inertial sensors (accelerometers, gyroscopes), enabling a fully-MEMS inertial measurement unit, reducing the integration problem of MEMS sensor with magnetic sensor. |

2019 - Apparatus for nuclear magnetic resonance utilizing metamaterials or dielectric materials
(patent application pending)
|
Abstract |
Picture |
|
The present invention concerns an apparatus to increase the efficiency in the transmission phase and the sensitivity in the reception phase, in specific regions of space, of the magnetic resonance technique (NMR, MRI, EPR, EPRI) through the use of at least one component based on meta-materials (MM), of appropriate geometry and electrical properties. |

Selective stimulation of small nerve fibres by micropatterned interdigitated surface electrodes (patent granted, under license)
|
Abstract |
Picture |
|
Object of the invention is an electrode meant for use in laboratories of clinical neurophysiology as an aid in diagnosing diseases of the nervous system related to impaired conduction along the pain and temperature sensation pathways. Whilst electrodes normally used in neurophysiology are unselective, that is they stimulate all of the underlying nerve fibres when a suitable current is applied, our device allows selective stimulation of a definite group of fibres characterized by small diameter and slow conduction velocity (classified as Ad and C fibres), the very ones that conduct pain and temperature sensation. Core of the invention is the peculiar arrangement of multiple conductors in contact with the skin, in comb-like fashion, and with interrail distance of less than 200 micrometers. |
