Dr. José A. Souza has a degree in Physics from the University of São Paulo (1999), a master's degree (2002) and a doctorate (2006) in Physics from the University of São Paulo. In 2006-2007 he held a post-doctoral program at Montana State University - USA. He is currently Associate Professor II and coordinator of the graduate Program in Nanosciences and Advanced Materials of the Federal University of ABC. He studied materials that have effects like colossal magnetoresistance, superconductivity, magnetic transition, metal-insulating phase transition and magneto-electric coupling. Currently, he works in the area of Condensed Matter Physics, with emphasis on Synthesis and study of Structural, Magnetic and Electric Transport Properties in semiconductors with hierarchical micro / nanostructure. Dr. Souza also develops research in the area of magnetoelectric materials (spintronics) and nanostructured multiferroics (nanoparticles, nanowires and nanotubes) in order to obtain a better understanding on the nature of ferromagnetism and ferroelectricity. More recently, Dr. Souza has approved projects at Fapesp and CNPq involving organic / inorganic hybrid perovskite structures (thin films, nanocrystal, and quantum dots) for use in solar cells and topological insulation. Dr. Souza is also part of the FAPESP 2017/023172 thematic project. (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

Light-harvesting organic-inorganic hybrid halide perovskites have been attracting considerable attention due to their excellent photovoltaic and photoelectrochemical performances and optoelectronic properties. Tuning in their electronic and crystal structures and photoelectric conductivity is at the heart of idealization of new materials, novel functionalities and/or improving the efficie…
Research in the field of Materials Science has advanced enormously in recent years, from an essentially applied, engineering-related approach to a position where it has great impact in other areas, including Physics, Chemistry, and Biology. This is mostly due to the advancement of theoretical and experimental techniques that have allowed us to probe, and interact with matter at the atomic…
A considerable effort has been put forward in order to grow semiconducting nanostructured materials. Besides fundamental science, they are very attractive in the opto-electronic industry as well as solar energy conversion due to their unique properties. In this project, we intend to work with two classes of semiconducting materials. (1) organic/inorganic hybrid perovskites of the general…
The main target of this project is to give continuity to the research activities already started here in UFABC. It is important to emphasize that the development of the previous project has been very fruitful with a strong impact not only to understand of microtube and hierarchical structure formation, but also with potential technological applications. Therefore, we intend to extend this…
