In field of topological insulators, the article "Nonlocal Transport Near Charge Neutrality Point in a Two-Dimensional Electron-Hole System” published in PRL 108, 226804 (2012) by Prof. Gusev, Prof. Levine and collaborators was selected for the Virtual Journal of Nanoscale Science and Technology.
A new class of nonequilibrium phenomena is expected when a low-dimensional electron gas, subjected to a weak magnetic field, is also irradiated with microwaves. In a recent publication, an experimental work in the LNMS at DFMT-IFUSP provides evidence for an edge-state current stabilized by microwave irradiation.
“ Microwave-induced nonlocal transport in a two-dimensional electron system”
Bose-Einstein condensation occurs when a system of quantum-mechanical particles with integer spin or angular momentum is cooled to its ground state and forms a coherent state of identical particles. The Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) occurs in systems that satisfy two requirements: bosonic behavior and number conservation. It is this second requirement that limits the prevalence of BEC systems in nature. BECs were first identified in dilute collections of laser-cooled cold atoms in 1995, leading to the Nobel Prize.
DFMT I.C. student Henrique Jose Correia Zanoli received an Honorable Mention Award in the 20º International Scientific Initiation Symposium of USP. The awarded study “Structural and electronic analysis of amino acids by semi-empirical quantum computational methods” was supervised by Profa. Helena M. Petrilli in the NANOMOL group and supported by FAPESP I.C. scholarship.

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.
