Carlos Eduardo Maduro de Campos

He holds a BA (1999) and master's degree in Physics (2001) from the Federal University of São Carlos. He holds a doctorate in Physics from the Federal University of Santa Catarina (2005), having performed part of the doctoral period at the Université Pierre et Marie Curie - Paris VI in France (2003-2004). Visiting researcher at the Max Planck Institut für Festkörperforschung in Stuttgart in Germany (jan-dec 2023). He is currently Full Professor in the Department of Physics of the Federal University of Santa Catarina. User of the National Laboratory Synchrotron Light (LNLS) since 2002, member of the Brazilian Society of Physics (SBF), Brazilian Association of Crystallography (ABCr), International Union of Crystallography (IUCr) and judge for more than 20 scientific journals in various areas. It has experience in Condensed-Matter Physics, with emphasis on structure, vibrational properties, thermal and optics Nanocrystalline Solid, acting on the following topics: Mechanochemical synthesis (including mechanical alloying, MA), X-ray diffraction of powder (XRPD) calorimetry (DSC), X-ray absorption (XAS: XANES and EXAFS), Raman scattering, semiconductor (III-V, III-VI or II-VI) and intermetallic alloys. He published studies on the variations of the physical properties and phase transitions of semiconductor and intermetallic alloys produced by MA as a function of pressure using diamond anvil cells (DAC) via X-ray absorption (XAS), Raman spectroscopy, and X-ray Powder Diffraction (XRPD). He has applied knowledge about XRPD and the Rietveld Method to determine phase fraction, crystallite size distribution (of varied shapes), and microdeformation in inorganic materials synthesized by MA, and (conventional and alternative) chemical routes. He dedicated most of his research activities to the identification, quantification, and phase transitions of organic materials (pharmaceuticals) using XRPD, DSC, and Raman, using a system capable of performing simultaneous DSC-Raman experiments. Among the most recent scientific interests are: i) quantitative structural analysis of cementitious materials even under hydration conditions, ii) microstructural characterization of nanomaterials made by MA and their applications in electroanalytics, iii) theoretical vibrational spectra (Raman and Infrared ) of molecular crystal through electronic structure calculations using computational methods of first principles of quantum mechanics, iv) real-time and in-situ, and in-operando characterization of nanomaterials produced by MA and their applications in electroanalytics, catalysis, thermoelectrics, etc.; and v) quantitative phase analysis of cementitious materials even under hydration conditions using XRPD data from conventional and synchrotron sources. These lines of research complement each other, allowing for a refined characterization of the materials studied and enormously expanding the horizon of multidisciplinary partnerships.
