ICMM Madrid

The Photonic Crystals Group at the Instituto de Ciencia de Materiales de Madrid (ICMM) is part of the Spanish "Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Cientificas" (CSIC), and focuses on research of photonic crystals.

Photonic crystals are a new class of materials whose properties are determined by the dielectric constant periodicity in real space which, in turn, induces a periodic energy spectrum with bands and, eventually, gaps in reciprocal space. Artificial opals are used for fabrication of the photonic crystals, with ALD coatings as a method to modify the optical properties..

The Photonic Crystals Group

ALD is suitable for many applications in Semiconductors and nanoelectronics including Gate Dielectrics, Gate Electrodes, Diffusion Barriers, and DRAM | Dynamic Random Access Memory. In the optical fields, ALD can be applied to Optical Dielectric Multilayer Structures / Filters, OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diode), Photonic Crystals and static Photonic Band Tuning, Transparent Conductors and Transparent Conducting Electrodes, TFEL or Thin Film Electroluminesence, Solar Cells, OLED Humidity Barrier, Precision Optics Coatings and Photonic Crystal Structures and Lasers. ALD is also applied to MEMS (micro electromechanical systems and Hydrophic & Anti-Stiction Layers in MEMS Devices. There are also applications of ALD in wear resistence, in coatings for blade edges and Nanocomposite Tungsten Disulphide solid lubricants. ALD is also used in nanostructures such as nanotubes & nanowires, and Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) tips. Other common applications of ALD are Catalysis & Catalyst Supports, Solid Oxide Fuel Cell Electrodes, Nano Glue, Biocompatible Coatings for medical instruments Ferromagnetic Transition Metals & Nanotubes and Internal Tube Liners and Inert Inner Linings.
