LATEST NEWS
We are open to new undergrad and master students. Motivated PhD students will also be considered.
Last update: 06/03/2025
A new collaboration paper, authored by Karina Torres, was just published in Dalton Transactions! This work is part of Karina's PhD work, which I co-advise and is financed by FAPESP. Congratulations Karina !!!
Leonardo Donatello just joined our group for an undergrad research program. Leonardo will work with RIXS of correlated materials. FAPESP will finance Leonardo's work.
Our group welcomes Howard Brian, a new graduate student at our institute. Howard will investigate the synthesis and characterization of ternary Y-Fe-Ge compounds. FAPESP will finance Howard' work.
We welcome Gabriela Scavone, a new undergrad student joining our reasearch group. For six months, Gabriela will learn the basics of X-ray diffraction experiments and then we will think of a research project. Wellcome Gabriela!!!
From 05/02 to 10/02 our group (me + Victor) will go to SIRIUS to join a research project led by Prof. Alberto de La Torre Duran from Northeastern University. Experiments will be performed at the IPE beamline. FAPESP will finance our field work.
CNPq reasearch grant (international collaboration) approved! With Prof. Raquel Ribeiro, from Iowa State University/Ames National Laboratory, Prof. Eric Andrande from IFUSP and Dr. Marli Cantarino from the ESRF, our group will investigate the magnetic anisotropy in mixed valence rare-earth based materials. We will focus on anisotropic Kondo lattices and on ferromagnetic Kondo lattices.
FAPESP research grant approved! With colleagues Abner de Siervo (UNICAMP), Eduardo Bittar (CBPF) and Walber Brito (UFMG), our group will investigate high temperature superconductivity and other electronic orders on Hund's metals. Please see related IC and Master fellowship opportunities.
Our new paper on the electronic structure of Cr-substituted BaFe2As2 is now published on Sci Post Physics! Read some comments about this paper.
Congratulations to (now) Dr. Rodrigo Calle, who defended his doctor thesis. Good job Rodrigo!!!
A new collaboration paper, led by colleagues from the Iowa State University/Ames National Laboratory, is now out at the Arxivs.
Congratulations to Dr. Marli Cantarino, former student in our group, who received a prize for "best graduate student paper" and a honorable mention for "best PhD thesis" from our graduate school. Dr. Marli is now a postdoctoral researcher at the ESRF.
