Cesar Pay Gómez holds dual positions at Uppsala University as an Educational Developer at the Division for Quality Enhancement in Academic Teaching and Learning, and as a Researcher at the Department of Chemistry - Ångström Laboratory specializing in Structural Chemistry. His professional identity bridges educational development and advanced materials research, with a strong focus on crystallography and complex metallic alloys.
Dr. Pay Gómez's research centers on the structural and physical properties of quasicrystals and their approximants, with particular expertise in diffraction techniques, atomic structure determination, and the magnetic behavior of intermetallic compounds. His work investigates the relationship between atomic-scale structure and macroscopic properties in complex materials systems, especially rare earth-based quasicrystals containing elements like Ho, Tb, Gd, Sm combined with Au, Si, and Al. He employs advanced characterization methods including neutron diffraction, scanning transmission electron microscopy, and surface analysis techniques.
Analysis of his publication record reveals a clear progression from fundamental structural studies of quasicrystals toward investigating their physical properties, particularly magnetic behavior and surface characteristics. Recent work shows increasing focus on the relationship between composition, structure, and properties in quasicrystal approximants, with implications for potential applications in materials science. His 2024-2025 publications demonstrate sophisticated multi-technique approaches to understanding these complex materials.
Dr. Pay Gómez maintains an extensive international collaboration network, frequently co-authoring with researchers across Europe and Asia. His work appears in high-impact journals including Physical Review B, Journal of Solid State Chemistry, and Israel Journal of Chemistry, reflecting the significance of his contributions to the field of complex metallic alloys and quasicrystal research.
