The recent progress of the research on carbon nanostructures and the issue of thermal management have established a great demand in relation to the scientific understanding of thermal transport in these nanomaterials. ...

In this work, we studied the interaction of Au34 gold cluster with different two-dimensional materials. Au clusters, differently of their macroscopic form, are chemically reactive. Their use requires substrates. The ...

Niobium nitride (NbN) thin films can be hard and resistant not only to mechanical wear but also to chemically aggressive atmospheres. Additionally, they can present a superconducting transition in temperatures that are ...

In this thesis we propose a improvement of the Genetic Algorithm (GA) method that is used to search the stability of geometry of atomic clusters. The proposed improvements consist by introducing two new operators: the ...

The correct characterization of the spectral energy distribution (SED) components in Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) is the key for their understanding and their role in the evolution of the host galaxies. In the near-infrared ...

The Active Galactic Nuclei (AGNs) show high luminosities ( 109 L ) and emit energy from the accretion disk around the central Supermassive Black Hole (SMBH). The Narrow Line Region (NLR) is the only AGN structure spatially ...

We examined the dependency between nuclear activity in galaxies and the environment in which they are located. Using data from the MaNGA survey from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey IV, we analyzed the gas kinematics of 62 ...

In this work we study a model of two coupled complex networks, with the purpose to study the phase diagrams and the metastability of the system. The networks have internal ferromagnetic interactions and are coupled to ...

Repeatedly in the field of Quantum Information Science (QIS) it’s essentially required of physical systems the quantification concerning its quantum phenomena, such as Quantum Coherence (QC) relying in quantum superposition ...

In this work, we analyzed samples of thin films Ni81Fe19 and Pd with ZnO spacer. Ni81Fe19 is a ferromagnet with a low saturation magnetic field. Pd is a normal metal with high spinorbit coupling, much used in spin Hall ...
