NOTIFICATION FROM THE ACADEMIC DIVISION At 11:59 PM on June 3, 2025, the registration for the Public Competition of Titles and Exams to fill a faculty position, MS-3, position 1231944, at the Department of Materials Physics and Mechanics, in the area of Experimental or Theoretical Condensed Matter Physics, was closed.
A group of researchers from the University of São Paulo (USP) has made a significant discovery that challenges an old rule in material physics. The study revealed that, contrary to previous beliefs, electron collisions play a crucial role in the electrical resistivity of two-dimensional systems, like graphene and the quantum well of Mercury Telluride.
Applications are open for the Selection Process for a temporary faculty position in the Department of Materials Physics and Mechanics, as per Announcement IF-43/25.
Prof. Antônio José Roque da Silva, a professor at FMT/IFUSP and general director of CNPEM, received the Almirante Álvaro Alberto Prize for Science and Technology 2025. He was primarily recognized for leading Sirius, one of the most advanced synchrotron light sources in the world. The award is one of the most important in science in Brazil and includes a diploma, medal, monetary prize, and institutional trips. Other distinguished researchers were also honored in this edition.
We are pleased to announce that Gabriel Figueiredo de Freitas has successfully defended his Master’s thesis titled:
Title:
Study of the Polar Transition Dependent on Charge Carrier Concentration in Bi-doped Pb0.5Sn0.5Te Thin Films
Candidate: Eduardo Destefani Stefanato
Advisor: Prof. Dr. Felix Guillermo Gonzalez Hernandez
