<p style="text-align: left;">&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Felix Jimenez-Villacorta is Research Associate of the <em>Electronic&nbsp;and Magnetic Materials and Heterostructures</em> Group, starting early 2014.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; His research lines cover fundamental aspects of nanomagnetism, which include the study and development of advanced magnetic materials with potential immediate implementation in permanent magnets or tunable magnetostructural-based sensors, as well as fundamental analysis to gain insight into the magnetic interactions and magnetic phenomena at the atomic and nanoscopic scale.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;At the present, he is involved in the development of graphene-nanoparticle hybrid materials with controllable magnetic, optical and transport properties. Also, he is very active in the study of multifunctional magnetic nanostructures and heterostructures for advanced applications in information technologies.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">&nbsp;<em>Keywords: nanomagnetism, materials for information technologies, graphene-based hybrid materials, magnetostructural functional nanomaterials, nanostructured permanent&nbsp;magnetic materials, x-ray absorption spectroscopy (EXAFS, XANES, XMCD).</em></p>
