Research activity and bibliometric data

The research activity was focused in the field of the synthesis and characterization of inorganic materials. It can be divided in two lines: 1) synthesis of thin film through Metal-Organic Chemical Vapor Deposition (MOCVD) and 2) synthesis of nanomaterials through wet routes and their surface functionalization with molecular monolayers and Metal-Organic Frameworks.

The research activity produced 140 papers and some bibliometric parameters are (from Web of Science 18 Jan 2021): H-index = 32 and citation = 2933.
