V Semana de Física dos Materiais

Outubro 18, 2016

Na próxima semana, de 25 a 27 de outubro, acontecerá a V Semana de Física dos Materiais do programa de pós-graduação FIMAT. O principal objetivo da V SEFIMAT éreunir docentes, alunos de graduação e de pós-graduação em um único ambiente acadêmico visando a divulgação e o interesse em Física de Materiais. A semana contará com defesas de qualificação dos alunos do programa e uma palestra convidada do professor Mário Sérgio de Carvalho Mazzoni, do departamento de física da UFMG, com o título: “Abordagem teórica no estudo de nanoestruturas e o...

Walter Kohn, a developer of density functional theory has passed away.

“Physics isn’t what I do; it is what I am.”

"Dear Members of our Campus Community,
I am deeply saddened to share with you the news that our respected colleague and friend
Professor Walter Kohn passed away late last night. His wife, Mara, and other loved ones
were at his side in his final days and at the time of his passing. My wife, Dilling, and I
were able to visit with Mara at her home this morning and extend our deepest
condolences in person.
Walter first joined our faculty in 1979,...

Molecular decoration uncovers molybdenum disulphide grain boundaries

Molybdenum disulphide (MoS2) is a promising candidate for ultrathin electronics and photodetectors because of its unique optical and electronic properties. In such applications, the characterisation of grain boundaries in the sample or device is of utmost importance. Reporting in Nanotechnology, researchers based at Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais (UFMG) develop an easy method for grain...
