Two researchers from the Brazilian Federal University of Mato Grosso (UFMT) conducted a theoretical study, based on computer simulations, on troilite (iron sulfide) doped with lithium ions. The scientists studied the coordinated behavior of electrons from different orbitals. In a recently published paper in the Journal of Applied Physics<\/em>, the authors present troilite as promising material for rechargeable lithium batteries and report that doping with lithium can generate non-conventional conducting states in the insulator material.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0See our story about the study.<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<\/td>\n

We interviewed the Brazilian physicist Ado Jorio de Vasconcelos (professor at the Brazilian Federal University of Minas Gerais, UFMG), expert in the application of optics in nanostructure studies. In 2001, Jorio became the first researcher to use an optical technique to study carbon nanotubes individually. Jorio holds an H index of 74, one of the highest in Brazil, and is the author of approximately 200 publications with over 30,000 citations. Jorio will deliver a plenary lecture at the XV Brazil-MRS (SBPMat) Meeting on the use of Raman spectroscopy for the study of carbon nanostructures.\u00a0<\/span><\/span>Read our interview and learn more about this scientist’s contributions and background.\u00a0<\/span>See our interview.<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/td>\n\"\"<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
