My research interests are in the area of magnetic materials, in particular, the design and the morpho-structural characterization of iron oxides and the analysis of their magnetic properties by magnetometers and Mossbauer Spectroscopy. I am also interested in intermetallics alloys, synthesized by non-equilibrium techniques such as Spark Plasma Sintering, Melt Spinning and Optical Floating Zone. My research in this area mainly contributes to the literature on magnetic materials characterization but also to the fundamental approach on this kind of systems.

In the present studies, I'm focused on three types of compounds: 1) Iron intermetallics with and without rare earth elements (Ex: GdFeB, FeSiB). As an example, in the last years, amorphous intermetallics containing rare earth elements and transition metals, scientists discovered they have different characteristics depending on the ionic anisotropy of the rare earth element.

                                                                                                                      2) Aluminosilicates presenting clusterization processes and rare earth based oxides (Ex: Ancient Roman ceramics or composites, RIG - rare earth iron garnets). As an example, a complex archaeometric characterization combined with materials characterization techniques (XRD, XRF, SEM, Mossbauer Spectroscopy and others) on a foreign material (Roman brick - 2nd to 3rd century AD), had led to the understanding of the historical theories but also of the ancient materials and how this affected the society.

                                                                                                                      3) Nanocomposites (borides or carbides containing transition metals or rare earths). The research is focused on the investigation of the local properties of the nanostructures and nanocomposites of different borides/carbides systems (Ex: High magnetic order temperature). 

In resume, my research is based on different classes of materials containing rare earth elements or transition metals which allows the getting of multi-functional properties. In particular, the focus is set on the local nanometric level of effects and events followed by the extrapolation to the macro-scales needed for the practical applications.
