Research Group on Physical Metallurgy
The University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU) is a teaching and research institution officially founded in 1985. The university employs over 7.000 people throughout 31 faculties and schools geographically distributed in three campuses with over 50,000 undergraduate and postgraduate students. The UPV/EHU has been recently recognised as an International Excellence Research Campus by the Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation.
In what concerns research group involved in the present project at the UPV/EHU, it is the Research Group on Physical Metallurgy (GIMF). The GIMF is a multidisciplinary research group involving four full Professors from the Department of Physics of Condensed Matter and the Department of Applied Physics, with a long history on research in advanced materials. The GIMF is also proud of the development of the laboratories on Mechanical Spectroscopy, pioneer in Spain, as well as the laboratory for Special Alloys Production and Crystal Growth. In addition the GIMF developed the seed laboratory for the creation of the General Service of Electron Microscopy for Materials Science at the UPV/EHU.
