Brief description of activities:

We are starting to look at some problems in Condensed Matter Physics. First, the scattering and lifetime of cuasiparticles in Unconventional Superconductors
is being studied. Also, we wish to check tight binding effects and the Electron Phonon coupling in metals without inversion centre. Finally, some aplications
of elastic waves to Exploration Geophysics are been reviewed

Recent research:

Elastic Wave Propagation: 2010 [1]
Electronic thermal conductivity in unconventional superconductors: 2011 [1]
