THE LAB

We are focused in investigation of nanostructured materials properties for applications in spintronics and nanomagnetism. We have been working mainly with nanopatterned heterostructures for spin transport investigation, e.g graphene and silicon based devices, frustrated systems for magnetic charge manipulation and magnetic resonance in heterostructures for magnetization dynamics investigation. We are associated to the SISNANO national project with own facilities as Atomic Force and Magnetic Probe Microscope, Scanning Electron Microscope, X-Ray Difractometer, Raman, Optical perfilometer, potentiostats, thermal evaporators, sputtering, MBE, Ion-Milling, closed cycle Cryogenic Magnetoresistive Measurement Systems and a full equiped Clean Room. Our principal international collaboration projects are currently with Massachusetts Institute of Technology - MIT, Spin electronics Research - SPINTEC and International Iberian Nanotechnology Laboratory - INL. Our national collaboration are mainly with Grupo de Nanoestruturas Semicondutoras e Magnéticas in University of Brasília and Grupo de Teoria de Campos e Simulações Computacionais em Física da Matéria Condensada (TCSCFMC) in Viçosa.
