This research is carried out both with\u00a0<em>in-house<\/em>\u00a0experiments at the Spin-ARPES laboratory at IMDEA Nanociencia and in the some of the\u00a0<strong>outstanding ARPES beamlines in Synchrotron Radiation facilities<\/strong>\u00a0as Alba (Barcelona), Elettra (Trieste, Italy), Soleil (Paris) or Bessy (Berlin). Our investigations are complemented with the study of magnetic properties by X-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD), structural characterization (collaboration with STM groups at IMDEA) and electronic structure calculations in collaboration with different theory groups.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What power does science have to transform the world?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Scientific knowledge allows us to develop new technologies, solve practical problems, and make informed decisions, both individually and collectively. Because its products are so useful, the process of science is intertwined with those applications: New scientific knowledge may lead to new applications.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Where do you find inspiration?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Scientific investigations may be inspired by many different factors.
