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…
Bimetallic nanoalloys have long been the subject of continuous studies since they combine specific characteristics of the matter at the nanoscale with interesting properties of alloys. This can induce remarkable physical and chemical properties of such nanoalloys thereby leading to their new applications. The relative composition of the nanoalloys and the way the atoms are distributed in …
Our society demands the development of new materials more and more sophisticated with innovative properties. The structural study of Ag2WO4 at atomistic level using electron microscopy pointed out the discovery of a novel phenomenon that was not reported in the literature before. Hence, the electron irradiation on this material in the electron microscopy leads to the formation of metallic…
Currently, several environmental problems arising from the rapid progress in urbanization, industrialization and large population growth have been faced by modern society, such as the contamination of air, soil and water. In particular, the main contaminants in effluents and oceans are organic compounds from industrial sedimentation and other compounds extensively present in the daily lif…
Photocatalysts, traditionally semiconductors, are regarded as a promising technology for novel, powerful energy-storage systems, that are essential for processes ranging from water purification to water splitting, air filtration, and surgical instrument sterilization, and harvest optical energy to drive chemical reactions. The mechanism of energy storage in these materials is not fully un…
