In this talk, Garcia-Martin will briefly show that nanocolumnar films can be manufactured by magnetron sputtering using the glancing angle deposition configuration. This technique is environmentally friendly, since it is carried out at room temperature in a single step and does not involve chemical products (i.e. no recycling issues). Depending on several parameters (mainly the gas pressure, see Fig., the angle of inclination of the substrate and its possible rotation), the nanocolumnar structure can be controlled. Furthermore, this method can be scaled up to large surfaces, representing a valid approach for the industrial production of nanostructured films. Then, in the second part of the talk, he will show several applications of these nanocolumnar films in medicine, energy & environment and the aerospace industry.

Biography:
Dr. José Miguel García-Martín is Research Scientist of the Spanish National Research Council, CSIC, working at the Institute of Micro and Nanotechnology, IMN (Madrid, Spain). His research work focuses on metallic and metal oxides nanostructures with applications in ICT, energy and biomedicine. He obtained his PhD in Physics at Universidad Complutense de Madrid (Spain) and he was a Marie Curie postdoc at Université Paris-Saclay (France). In 2014 he led the project “Nanoimplant” that won the IDEA²Madrid Award (partnership of Madrid Government and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, MIT). In 2017 he was a Fulbright Visiting Scholar at Northeastern University (Boston, USA). In 2020 he co-founded the spin-off Nanostine. In 2021-2023 he was the Chair of the Spanish Chapter of IEEE Magnetics Society and nowadays is in the Advisory Committee of that Society. He is also member of the Council of Advisors of the Nanotechnology Engineer Program from Tecnológico de Monterrey (Mexico). He has coordinated several international projects with partners in U.S.A., France, Greece, Mexico, Chile, Brazil, and Colombia. He has co-authored 104 articles (H-index=36), 6 book chapters and 3 patents, and has given about 50 Invited talks.
