About Us
Prof. Jordi Sort
Our research activity is focused on the design, synthesis and characterization of advanced materials with unique properties, suitable for widespread innovative engineering applications.
We seek for new types of materials, whose microstructure can be precisely controlled at the nanoscale level, leading to enhanced mechanical, magnetic, optical, thermal and anti-corrosion performances. The investigated systems include nanoparticles, nanowires, lithographed micro- and nano-objects, mesoporous and nanoporous structures, electrodeposited thin films, bulk metallic glasses and bulk nanocomposite materials.

The UAB has received funding from the EU to implement the MSCA COFUND PHYNEST initiative
The UAB has received funding from the EU to implement the MSCA COFUND PHYNEST (PHYsics for a greener world: fostering the NExt generation of talented young researchers in novel materials, innovative STrategies and energy solutions) initiative. The UAB will receive a total of €3,960,000 from the European Union to implement the project. The coordinator of PHYNEST is Dr. Eva Pellicer.
Researchers from the Gnm3 Group invited to deliver talks at the 3rd International Conference on Quantum Materials and Technologies (ICSM & ICQMT, Ölüdeniz-Fethiye, Turkey, 2025)
Dr. I. Spasojevic and Prof. J. Sort delivered invited and semi-plenary talks, respectively, on recent advances on magneto-ionic and magnetoelectric actuation of materials for energy-efficient memory devices.
