Nowadays, computer simulations are much more than a simple auxiliary tool in Physics and have become a new and independent form of investigation and understanding of physical phenomena. We formed a group of experienced researchers, Prof. Maurice de Koning, Prof. Edison Zacarias da Silva, Prof. Alex Antonelli, of the Instituto de Física Gleb Wataghin of Unicamp, and Prof. Miguel San Miguel…
The present proposal is for a visit of Prof. Miguel Sam Miguel to the Institute of Physics Gleb Wataghin UNICAMP to continue an ongoing scientific collaboration of the IFGW (MC)2 and the University of Sevilha (Spain) groups. This project aims to aggregate competences in materials Science problems. At UNICAMP, our (MC)2 uses computer simulations to study many problems in condensed matter a…
CENAPAD has installed in 2005 a new computer system supported by FAPESP's Multi-User Equipment Program, with the investment of US$ 390,000. The machine is an SGI 1350 system, and it has been in operation ever since with excellent results. Due to the excellent performance and results achieved with this machine, and in order to keep providing competitive computing power to our users, we sen…
Currently, the Computer Simulations have become much more than a simple auxiliary tool in physics and became a new independent form of research and understanding of physical phenomena. We formed a group of researchers, Maurice de Koning, Edison Zacarias da Silva, Alex Antonelli (all at IFGW Unicamp) and Caetano Miranda at UFABC, who have been working actively in the use of Computer Simula…

This project aims to investigate properties of gold and cooper nanowires and their interaction with other metals in the formation of metallic nano-alloys as well as study their interaction with molecules of catalytic interest such as H2, O2, CO, NO, NH3 C2H6O. These studies will be performed using computer simulations techniques use in condensed matter research and have shown predictive …
In this project we are proposing an atomistic scale investigation using the density functional theory to describe the effects of the incidence of a laser in silver based compounds of formula Ag2WO4, Ag2MoO4, Ag3PO4 and Ag4V2O7, with a view to the possible applications in devices physics at the nanoscale. The previous success of our group obtained by combining the laser and silver based c…
Some experiments using scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) of metallic nanowires deposited on surfaces were identified as systems with promising technological applications in nanoelectronics, since it was understood that they behave as one dimensional electron conductors. Although, all experiments were done at temperatures between 7K and 12K. Therefore, since this is a fundamental questi…

The functionalization of materials is a complex endeavor and the challenges tasks for a precise theoretical description require notable computation skills. Due to the wide range of theoretical methodologies available for this study, defining an investigation path becomes crucial for a good understanding of the obtained results. In this project we are proposing an ab initio investigation u…
