Introduction
Under the guidance of Prof. Claudio Manfredotti,
the Solid State Physics group of the University of Torino,
Physics Department,started its activity in the early 1980s in the field of amorphous (a-Si:H) and crystalline (e.g. Si, CdTe)
semiconductor materials, mainly for the fabrication of solar cells and ionization radiation detectors.
In the course of these three decades, the group has gradually extended its field of interest to the study of micro/nano-structured materials and devices and to the development of new experimental techniques for the characterization and modification of advanced materials and/or art objects.
Now, the group is working on the following main research topics:
- Semiconductor materials and basic devices: functional characterization by means of MeV Ion Beam techniques
- The physics of diamond: characterization, and selective modification at the nano/micro scale; applications in bio-sensing and quantum optics
- Production and characterisation of high and medium critical temperature superconducting materials
- Nanostructured materials
- Physics applied to cultural heritage

Our group is part of the organization of the International Symposium on Archaeometry ISA26.
The ISA promotes the development and use of scientific techniques to generate information about all aspects of the past and showcases the latest in archaeological science technique development alongside a range of innovative and inspiring applications. All areas of science and all types of objects and materials, as well as all geographic areas and time periods, are topics of interest for this event.
While awaiting ISA 2026 (Turin, May 18-22), the current research is presented through a series of talks open to the public:
"Archeometria: la scienza che racconta il passato".
The University of Torino is organizing the next event on April 23,
"La lunga storia dell'Archeometria in Italia" (Rettorato UniTo, Aula Magna, Turin). |

At the third National Congress of the National Quantum Science and Technology Institute (NQSTI), held in Napoli from 14 to 17 April,
Greta Andrini received the "Young Author Best Presentation Award" for her contribution titled
"Controlled Activation of Silicon Telecom Quantum Emitters for Scalable Photonic Architectures".
