Ultrafast spintronic and optoelectronic devices: colaboração entre IOFFE e DFMT/USP
Desde o início de junho de 2016 está sendo realizado o projeto Hybrid magnetic nanostructures for ultrafast spintronic and optoelectronic devices, que é uma colaboração entre o Grupo Magneto-Óptica e Espectroscopia Não-Linear, liderado por André Bohomoletz Henriques, do DFMT, e Victor Pavlov, Professor Titular do Instituto Ioffe (São Petersburgo, Rússia) e da Technical University Dortmund (Alemanha). O objetivo é a pesquisa de materiais visando o desenvolvimnto de novos dispositivos eletrônicos e spintrônicos inteiramente controlados pela luz.



By the controlled addition of doping impurities, Prof. Renato Jardim and collaborators from EEL-USP, UNIFEI and UNICAMP developed a new family of superconductors with relatively high critical temperature. In a recent paper, the hexagonal structure stabilization of the Nb5Ge3 compound doped with carbon atoms was reported.
In the last weeks of January, a vibrating sample magnetometer - VSM was installed in the Laboratory of Magnetic Materials. This equipment, model 7404 from LakesShore is used to characterize the DC magnetic properties of materials as a function of magnetic field, temperature, and time.
The second edition of the MS Meeting (November 21-22) celebrated the 50th anniversary of the LESBT - Laboratório de Estado Sólido e Baixas Temperaturas. The event program was centered in this laboratory history, pioneer in the development of low temperatures in Brazil, and filled by scientific lectures and historical keynotes given by DFMT members and invited speakers.
