The Laboratories and facilities described, as well as performing R&D activity and supporting advanced graduation and pos-graduation courses under the responsibility of the CENIMAT/I3N and MSD, are also open to lend services and to perform applied and basic research project under financed contracts. The external services are divided on the four research groups. Each group is responsible for the respective laboratory.
Advanced Functional Materials for Micro and Nanotechnologies (AFMMN) Group
