Difração de policristais e difração múltipla de raios X para o estudo da influência dos íons Mn+2, Mg+2 e Cu+2 nas estruturas cristalinas da L asparagina monohidratada e do sulfato de níquel hexahidratado
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2012) MELO, Geraldo Souza de; REMÉDIOS, Cláudio Márcio Rocha; http://lattes.cnpq.br/7146076994037490
In this work we accomplished a study about the influence of doping Mn+2, Mg+2 and Cu+2 in the crystal structures of crystals of nickel sulfate hexahydrate (NSH) and L Asparagine Monohydrate (LAM). The introduction of dopants in a crystal lattice must change its physical properties or growth habit. These changes must promote the technological applications of these crystals in many areas like medicine, agriculture, optics and electronics. The NSH crystals were grown by the slow evaporation method of the solvent and doped with ions of Mn+2 and Mg+2, resulting in crystals of good quality. We measures method of X-ray diffraction of the pure crystals and polycrystalline doped and from the results obtained we refinements, using the method of Rietiveld where was observed that the same crystal structure doped showed the same tetragonal and space group that the pure crystal, having a little change in their lattice parameters and volume of its unit cells. We observed that the introduction of dopants caused changes in the lengths of the links and the angles between the nickel and oxygen atoms, this may explain why the temperature of dehydration crystals NSH:Mn and NSH:Mg is bigger than that of pure NSH. We use the X-ray Diffraction Multiple technique with synchrotron radiation in differents energies on the workstation XRD1, of the National Synchrotron Light Laboratory (LNLS) in order to identify possible changes in the structures of doped crystals of nickel sulphate and L Asparagine. The Renninger diagrams show changes in the intensity, profile and position of the secondary peaks of doped crystals caused by the introduction of dopants. The crystals were grown L Asparagine monohydrate by the method of slow solvent evaporation, and doped with ions of Cu+2. The diffraction measurements showed that the doped crystal has the same orthorhombic structure that the pure crystal. Our results indicate that the incorporation mechanisms of the Cu+2 ions in the crystal lattice of Asparagine Monohydrate L occur in interstitial form. Changes were detected in intensity as well as in the positions and profile diagrams Renninger secondary peaks in the crystal doped.

Potenciais pseudo-newtonianos e a radiação escalar emitida por uma fonte girando ao redor de um objeto estelar
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2010) CRUZ FILHO, Jaime Luis Cardoso da; CRISPINO, Luís Carlos Bassalo; http://lattes.cnpq.br/4033994493756291
We use the pseudo-newtonian potentials proposed by Paczynski and Wiita, Nowak and Wagoner and Artemova et al. to calculate the scalar radiation emitted by a source in uniform circular motion around a stellar object. We compare the results obtained in this approach with the results obtained via quantum eld theory in Schwarzschild spacetime. We find that, up to the marginally stable circular orbit (R = 6M) the potential that better reproduces the Schwarzschild result is the Nowak and Wagoner one. Between this orbit and the last unstable circular orbit (R = 3M) neither one of the pseudo-newtonian potentials produce satisfactory results, and the newtonian potential turns out to be the best approximation. The Paczy nski and Wiita potential, the most used in the literature to analyze accretion disks, generates the less satisfactory results for this situation.

Investigação da transição isolante-metal do CDM via algoritmos computacionais e estudo de nano-dispositivos orgânicos
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2007) AMAZONAS, Járlesson Gama; DEL NERO, Jordan; http://lattes.cnpq.br/5168545718455899
We present in this work a theoretical study on conjugated organic polymers. These systems, in general semiconductors or insulators, when doped, show an increase in electrical conductivity. Under action of electric field, small oligomers can present a similar behavior to of usual devices, but with innumerable advantages as, for example, size extremely reduced (some nanometers). In the first chapter we will make a brief introduction on organic polymers conjugated showing some experimental results for 4-dicianometileno-4,4-ciclopenta polymer [2,1-b: 3,4b'] ditiofeno - CDM, that is the central object of study. Chapter 2 deals with the used quantum methods. We will cite the Hartre-Fock (HF) approximation and its semiempirical derivations. The Configuration Interaction (CI) method and the Density Functional Theory (DFT) also will be treated in this chapter. Chapter 3 is dedicated to describe the characteristics of some usual devices as diodes and transistors. We will still cite some extremely small electronic devices. Chapter 4 describes our results and quarrels about the possibility the of the transistion insulator-metal in CDM when doped. We got the characterization optics of oligomers of CDM with null charge and in the presence of defects of the type bipolaron. From the Hartree-Fock level we calculate the Structure of Bands and the Density of States (DOS) for the PCDM in the neutral and doped state. The calculation of the DOS and the Dispersion had been carried through computational programs developed here in the Group GFMA. We still present in this chapter the theoretical absorption spectra for oligomers of CDM with geometry fully optimized by DFT. In chapter 5 we have the relative results to the analysis of nanodevice based on tetramers of CDM with and without charge. The curves of the charge displacement versus voltage present characteristics of curves of usual devices. We also analyze the theoretical absorption spectra of the nanodevice for values of null tension and in points of current saturation.

Propriedades magnéticas de nanoestruturas adsorvidas em superfícies metálicas
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2011) BEZERRA NETO, Manoel Maria; KLAUTAU, Ângela Burlamaqui; http://lattes.cnpq.br/4323567432559309
We use the first principles RS-LMTO-ASA (Real Space - Linear Muffin-Tin Orbital - Atomic Sphere Approximation) method, based on the Density Functional Theory and implemented to calculate noncollinear magnetic structures, to investigate the magnetic properties of nanostructures adsorbed on metallic surfaces. We have considered different geometries and sizes such as adatoms, dimers, trimers, nanowires, and nanostructures with triangular geometry of Fe, Fe-Co and Fe-Pt on Pt(111), as well as Mn nanostructures on Ag(111) surface. The Fe-Co nanowires adsorbed on Pt(111) are found to order ferromagnetically regardless of the nanowire size. We find enhanced spin and orbital moments at Fe and Co sites compared to what is found in bulk, which is attributed to the reduced coordination number presented at the surface. We also analyzed how these moments vary as a function of the concentration of these elements at the nanowires. For systems composed by Fe-Pt nanowires adsorbed on Pt(111), our results show that it is possible to tune the exchange interaction between magnetic adatoms (Fe) by introducing a different number of Pt atoms to link them. For instance, the exchange interaction between Fe adatoms can be considerably increased by introducing Pt chains to link them. Moreover, either a ferromagnetic or an antiferromagnetic configuration between magnetic adatoms (Fe) can be stabilized depending on the Pt spacer thickness. Furthermore, even a non-collinear magnetic ordering can be obtained tuned by Pt-mediated atoms. For Mn clusters on Ag(111), the exchange interactions between Mn sites depend not only on the distance between the atoms, but also on the coordination number of each site. Therefore, the non-collinear ordering in these nanostructures is caused not only if antiferromagnetism is frustrated by the cluster geometry, but also by the competition between short and long range exchange interactions. The results obtained are in general in good agreement with experiment and other calculations, when available in the literature.

Modos quasinormais e pólos de Regge para os buracos acústicos canônicos
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2010-10-08) OLIVEIRA, Leandro Amador de; CRISPINO, Luís Carlos Bassalo
Using the relativistic framework in the study of the propagation of linear perturbations in ideal fluids, we obtain a strong anology with the results found in the Theory of General Relativity. In this context, according to Unruh [W. Unruh, Phys. Rev. Letters 46, 1351 (1981)], it is possible to mimic a spacetime with an effective metric in an ideal fluid, barotropic, irrotacional and perturbed by acoustic waves. These spacetimes are called acoustic spacetimes and satisfy the geometric and kinematic properties of a curved spacetimes. In this work, we study the quasinormal modes and the Regge poles for the so called canonical acoustic hole. In our study, we use an asymptotic expansion method proposed by Dolan e Ottewill [S. R. Dolan and A. C. Ottewill, Class. Quantum Gravity 26, 225003 (2009)] to compute, for arbitrary overtones n, the quasinormal frequencies and angular momentum of the Regge poles, as well as their correspondent wavefunctions. The quasinormal frequencies and quasinormal wavefunction are expanded in inverse powers of L = l + 1/2 , where l is the angular momentum, while the angular momentum and wavefunction of the Regge poles are expanded in inverse powers of the frequency of oscillation of the canonical acoustic hole. We validate our results against existing ones obtained using Wentzel-Kramers-Brillouin (WKB) approximation, and we obtain excellent agreement in the limit of the eikonal approximation (l ≥ 2 e l > n).

Propriedades magnéticas de nanoestruturas de metais de transição 3d adsorvidas na superfície de Pt(111)
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2008) CORRÊA JÚNIOR, Gregório Barbosa; KLAUTAU, Ângela Burlamaqui; http://lattes.cnpq.br/4323567432559309
In this work we use the first principles RS-LMTO-ASA (“Linear Muffin-Tin Orbital - Atomic Sphere Approximation”) method, based on the Density Functional Theory and implemented to calculate non-collinear magnetic structures, to investigate the magnetic properties of 3d (Cr, Mn, Fe, Co and Ni) nanostructures adsorbed on Pt(111). Different geometries such as adatoms, dimmers, trimmers, linear and zig-zag wires have been considered, with cluster sizes varying between 2 and 7 atoms. The Fe, Co and Ni clusters are found to order ferromagnetically regardless of the cluster geometry. We find enhanced spin and orbital moments at Fe, Co and Ni sites compared to what is found in bulk, which is attributed to the reduced coordination number present at the surface. For Mn and Cr clusters on Pt(111), antiferromagnetic exchange interactions between nearest neighbors are found to cause collinear antiferromagnetic ordering when the geometry allows it. If the antiferromagnetism is frustrated by the cluster geometry, noncollinear ordering is found. The values are in general in good agreement with experiment and other calculations, when available in the literature.

Propriedades magnéticas de nanoestruturas de metais de transição 3d em superfícies de Pd
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2012) RODRIGUES, Débora Carvalho de Melo; KLAUTAU, Ângela Burlamaqui; http://lattes.cnpq.br/4323567432559309
Motivated by experimental studies of 3d transitional metal monolayers on Pd surfaces, we studied the complex magnetism of nanostructures, intermixed or adsorbed, on metallic surfaces, via ab initio calculations. We used the RS-LMTO-ASA method (Real Space - Linear Muffin-Tin Orbitals - Atomic Sphere Approximation), which is based on the Density Functional Theory and has been implemented to calculate non-collinear magnetic structures. With this purpose, we investigated intermixed metallic (Cr, Mn, Fe, Co and Ni) nanostructures and alloys (2 x 2) in Pd (110) surface and also adsorbed nanostructures on Pd (111). For intermixed nanostructures in Pd (110), we analyzed the behavior of the spin and orbital magnetic moments as function of the number of first neighbors and the valence number of the 3d metals. We verified a collinear magnetism for most of the cases, except for the Cr and Mn geometrically frustrated structures, which present noncollinear magnetic configurations. For Cr nanowires adsorbed on Pd (111), we obtained a collinear antiferromagnetic configuration for chains with up to 9 atoms. For the nanowire with 10 atoms of Cr, the magnetic ordering is antiferromagnetic canted. For two dimensional Cr nanostructures adsorbed on Pd (111), we obtained complex noncollinear magnetic structures, with different chiralities.

Investigação da dinâmica sequêncial Monte Carlo/Mecânica Quântica para sitemas moleculares orgânicos
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2007-03) GESTER, Rodrigo do Monte; DEL NERO, Jordan; http://lattes.cnpq.br/5168545718455899
The main objective of this work is to investigate theoretically the electronic and optical properties of organic compounds on liquid enviroment. The understanding of interactions on liquid systems is very important for the description of phenomena in many parts of the Science, like Physics, Chemistry, Biology and Materials. Also as in the development of optical materials. The thermal fluctuations make that lots of configurations can be generated. This is the reason of the statistical behavior realized in liquid systems. Considering these difficulties, to describe liquid systems, the sequential Monte Carlo / quantum mechanics (S-MC/QM) treatment is used in this work. On this procedure, first the liquid structure is generated by MC simulation and later, only the most important part of the system is treated as quantum mechanics.Using the above procedure, the quantum properties of the Methyl Orange (MO) and O 2,3-dimethyl thiene[3,4-b]pirazine (DTP) were investigated. MO is a well known pH indicator and can be found under basic and acidic conditions. Its minimal energy geometries were obtained by Density Functional Theory by the B3LYP functional, being the system described by Pople basis with one polarization function (6-31G*). To obtain the average properties of the quantum observables of these systems quantum chemistry calculations were performed within semi-empirical INDO/S-CI approach. About the absorption spectra of the MO, the experimental data presented in scientific literature reports a broad band placed on the lowest energies, more precisely between 400 and 600 nm. Our theoretical results for the alcaline form show an intense π → π* transition at about 432.4±0.03 nm and under acidic conditions, considering the MO acidic form, this transition appears at about 507.4±0.12, 496.4±0.28 or 545.3±0.10 nm, showing good agreement with experimental results. The DTP is a particular system used in the production of low band gap polimers. Its electrical and optical properties were obtained by the novel Average Solvent Electrostatic Configuration (ASEC) methodology. The ASEC procedure include a solvent molecules point charges and permits obtaining quantum mechanical quantities performing only few quantum calculations. For DTP, using the Mφller- Plesset second order perturbation thoery (MP2) and the aug-cc-pVDZ, the electric dipole moment 1.16 D was reached performing only four quantum calculations on representative configurations, presenting an increase of 42% when compared to the isolated dipole. The polarizability also was apparised considering the same level of dipole calculation, the average value 132.7 a30 was observed. The lowest energy region of the absorption spectra was also investigated by ASEC procedure and using both, semi-empirical and DFT quantum approaches. This absorption region is the reason of contraditory conclusions about of the n → π* and π → π* transitions. Our results show these excitations are observed and they can overlap themselves. As example, our DFT results using the B3LYP functional show that these transitions are placed at about 360.63 and 351.15 nm, respectively, being in good agreement with experimental predictions.

Sólitons latentes, cordas negras, membranas negras e equações de estado em modelos de Kaluza-Klein
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2012-06-04) MEDEIROS, Orival Rocha de; CRISPINO, Luís Carlos Bassalo; http://lattes.cnpq.br/4033994493756291
In Kaluza-Klein models with an arbitrary number of toroidal internal spaces, we investigate soliton solutions which describe the gravitational field of a massive compact object. Each di-dimensional torus has its own scale factor Ci, i = 1, ..., N, which is characterized by a parameter Yi. We single out the physically interesting solution corresponding to a pointlike mass. For the general solution we obtain equations of state in the external and internal spaces. These equations demonstrate that the point-like mass soliton has dust-like equations of state in all spaces. We also obtain the parameterized post-Newtonian parameters, which give the possibility to obtain the formulas for perihelion shift, deflection of light and time delay of radar echoes. Additionally, the gravitational experiments lead to a strong restriction on the parameters of the model: T = ƩNi=1 diYi = −(2, 1±2, 3)×10−5. The point-like mass solution with Y1 = . . . = YN = (1+ƩNi=1 di)−1 contradicts this restriction. The condition T = 0 satisfies the experimental limitation and defines a new class of solutions which are indistinguishable from general relativity. We call such solutions latent solitons. Black strings and black branes with Yi = 0 belong to this class. Moreover, the condition of stability of the internal spaces singles out black strings/branes from the latent solitons and leads uniquely to the black string/brane equations of state pi = −ε/2, i = 1, . . . ,N, in the internal spaces and to the number of the external dimensions d0 = 3. The investigation of multidimensional static spherically symmetric perfect fluid with dust-like equation of state in the external space confirms the above results.

Estudo de propriedades estruturais e de piezeletricidade nos cristais de ADP e KDP puros e dopados com íons Ni2+ e Mn3+ com DMRX utilizando radiação síncrotron
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2010-08-31) GOMES, Eduardo José de Lima; REMÉDIOS, Cláudio Márcio Rocha; http://lattes.cnpq.br/7146076994037490
The X-ray multiple diffraction using synchrotron radiation has been applied to study transition metal cátions Mn 3+ and Ni 2+ incorporated into Ammonium Diydrogen Phosphate (ADP) Crystal lattice and potassium dihydrogen phosphate (KDP). The results shows that regarding peak positions and number of peaks all the profilets look almost identical. This fact alone tells us that the unit cell parameters and the crystal symmetry are practically the same regardless of the incorporation of Mn 3+ and Ni 2+ cations. Accurate calculation of the unit-cell parameters revels that the lattices lattices parameters a = b increase and lattices parameters c decrease following Ni 2+ and Mn 3+ incorporation. In the measurements for the two wavelengths ADP:Mn crystal exhibit asymmetric peak profiles and no extra peak appears in the whole Mn 3+ doped RS. On the other hand, in the ADP:Ni measurements one can clearly observe: (i) suppression of the intensity profile asymmetry in secondary peaks for the Ni 2+ doped RS (below l Ni 2+ Kedge) and also, (ii) marked asymmetry inversion (above l Ni 2+ Kedge), for example the peak (5-12) / (-112) which represents a four beam case. These results indicate that synchrotron radiation RS is a high resolution probe to be used in the impurity incorporation in the ADP lattice. Moreover we have investigated ADP:Mn, KDP:Mn and KDP:Ni crystals using X-ray diffraction at room temperature. The results of the measurements of 440 and 066 reflections allow obtaining the d 36 and d 25 coefficients. We reported on the experimental verification based on X-ray measurements, the d 36 piezoelectric coefficients increased with doping of the Mn and Ni 2+ in the KDP and in ADP crystals.

In this work is presented a theoretical investigation of the neutral and bipolarononlike ground and excited states of molecules and polymers isoelectronic composed by Polyacetylene, Polyazine and Polyazoethene. The results obtained, utilizing DFT and ab initio methodologies, reveal that a very good defects description can be important in the investigation of insulator-metal transition of quasi-unidimensional polymers indicating metallic behavior around the Fermi level as mechanism of conductivity of polymers. This result is consistent with experimental data and do not anticipate by Su-Schrieffer-Heeger (SSH) methodology. These results are consistent with significant features as a nanodevice and can be summarized as: (i) it could be used as single directional molecular rectiffer with a conformational geometry with small lead coupling; (ii) our non-equilibrium green function simulation present that Polyacetylene, Polyazine and Polyazoethene could rectifield without gate current; (iii) based on properties of bonds type, it can be utilized to design devices with applications in molecular electronics.

Crescimento e caracterização dos cristais de sulfato de níquel hexahidratado dopados com íons [MnH2O]2+ e com sulfato de magnésio heptahidratado
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2011) FERREIRA JÚNIOR, Messias de Nazaré Guimarães; REMÉDIOS, Cláudio Márcio Rocha; http://lattes.cnpq.br/7146076994037490
In this work, manganese ions doped nickel sulphate crystals (NSH:Mn) and magnesium ion doped nickel sulphate crystals (NMgSH) were grown and later characterized by X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy techniques. The results obtained showed that the doped crystals possess a structure very similar to that of the pure nickel sulphate crystal (NSH), with an anisotropic deformation in the unit cell dimensions compared to the pure crystal, undergoing expansion in unit. The aim of the present study was to grow two new single crystals of good optical quality to be used as optical bandpass filters. Nickel sulfate hexahydrate (NHS) crystals are known to possess an optical transmission spectrum which has attracted much attention because it presents two regions with high transmission efficiency of approximately 80%, the first region being between 200 and 350 nm and the second between 400 and 600 nm, and a high absorption efficiency in other regions of the UV-VIS spectrum. A light transmission spectrum with these characteristics is similar to an optical filter. Termogravimetric (TGA) analyses were carried out for pure and doped crystals. The obtained decomposition temperature of NSH was found to be 73 °C while that NSH: Mn and NMgSH crystals present values of 82 ° C and 86 C respectively. As can be easily perceived, the thermal stability of crystals with Mn or Mg ions in their structures is significantly higher. The transmission band between 200 and 350 nm in the optical spectrum of NSH was found to be narrower in the transmission spectrum of the doped crystal thus restricting the region of the spectrum known as UVA.

Transporte eletrônico e quiralidade molecular: um estudo de dispositivos orgânicos em sistemas de dois terminais
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2010-06-18) SILVA, Shirsley Joany dos Santos da; DEL NERO, Jordan; http://lattes.cnpq.br/5168545718455899
In this work, we simulate the electronic distribution properties as charge in two molecular organic compounds, the Ponceau SS (PSS) and Oligo-(para)phenylene-vinylene (PPV), by means of ab initio calculations and the Nonequilibrium Green function (NEGF) method. These methods demonstrate equivalence to the description of molecular device. We make quantum calculations for the Hamiltonian derivative Hartree-Fock (HF) and obtained the current-voltage characteristics (I-V) for the two molecular structures. With the method NEFG, we model the transport through of electronics multilevel system obtaining the current by parameters that describe the resonances and the asymmetry of the system. In response the PSS demonstrated an asymmetric characteristic for direct and reverse polarization, the resonance is reached and confirm the device as a bi-directional molecular transistor. For the PPV also investigate the geometric properties through the connection between electronic transport and the degree of chirality calculated means chiral index that only depends on the atomic positions. Since, the structural properties of chiral molecules can induce an asymmetry in the electron transport, resulting in the grinding process. We demonstrated that corrent-voltage and dipole moment are proportional to the degree of molecular chirality. This result suggests that the electronic transport in this system can be exploited in assessing the degree of chirality.

Modelo teórico de sensores ópticos baseados em fibras com grade de Bragg
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2007) CUNHA, José Renato Ferreira Alves da; ALCANTARA JUNIOR, Petrus Agrippino de; http://lattes.cnpq.br/8771105422068014
By applying an external stress to an optical fiber its refractive index can change due to the photoelastic effect. When the optical fiber contains a Bragg grating inscribed in its core besides of the refractive index their spacial period changes too, allowing its application as high sensitive optical sensors for measurements of temperature and stress. From the theoretical point of view, up to date the operation of sensors using optical fiber with Bragg gratings (FBG) is explained by the photoelastic effect through appropriate components of the photoelastic tensor but for germanosilicated optical fibers only, which may to represent limitations to understand the responses of other classes of FGB used as optical sensors. In this work we show an alternative theoretical formulation for the studies of the operation properties of an optical sensor of longitudinal stress based on optical fiber with FBG, which do not depends from previous knowledge of the components of the photoelastic tensor, but just depends on the refractive index of the core, Poisson’s ratio, and relative deformation. The results shown good agreement with the literature and experimental data, allowing to estimate other features related with the reflectivity of the FGB.

Efeito Casimir em teorias de Chern-Simons
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2011) RODRIGUES, Penn Lee Menezes; PEREZ, Silvana; http://lattes.cnpq.br/3585326481456738
In this work we study the Casimir force for Maxwell-Chern-Simons (MCS) theories in (2+1) dimensions. In particular for the bidimensional case, we consider di erent boundary conditions and present new results concerning the in uence of the temperature in the phenomenon. We also analyse the Temperature Inversion Symmetry, considering both the massless and massive cases. We start by studying general aspects from Matsubara formalism with the goal of introduce thermal e ects in the theory; we also analyse general aspects of (2+1)-dimensional MCS theory. Then, we review the Casimir force for the in nite magnetically permeable lines at both zero and nite temperature, as well as the mixed lines at zero temperature, for which we take one line in nite magnetically permeable and the other perfect conducting. We next present new results concerning the Thermal Casimir force for the case of mixed lines. Finally, we analyse the Temperature Inversion Symmetry associated with the Helmholtz free energy, showing that even for the mixed lines boundary conditions it is still possible to de ne a residual symmetry, the result being analogous to previous results for the eletrodynamics in (3+1) dimensions.

The aluminum metal is obtained from bauxite ore, great industrial importance, consisting of one or more types of aluminum hydroxide plus a mixture of compounds containing silica, iron oxide, titania and aluminosilicates. Because of the variation in the relative concentration of these components in different samples of bauxite, the qualitative and quantitative mineralogy of the ore, has great importance with regard to its technological application, since this is directly related to the content of these components. This work was applied in eight samples of bauxite, extracted from a mine in Paragominas, the process of refining the spectra of X-ray diffraction using the Rietveld method, which were identified and quantified the crystalline phases: gibbsite, kaolinite, goehtita, anatase, quartz and hematite. Carried the refinements of the samples, we found that all had high levels of Gibbsite and Goethite low which gives an excellent type of bauxite to be used in extraction of alumina.

Efeitos de temperatura e potencial químico em Teoria Quântica de Campos
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2009-03) MACIEL, Soraya Galdino; PEREZ, Silvana; http://lattes.cnpq.br/3585326481456738
In this work we study the e ects of a nonzero chemical potential in (1 + 1) dimensions quantum eld models at nite temperature. We particularly consider massless fermions in an abelian gauge eld background and calculate the e ective action by evaluating the n-point functions. We nd that the structure of the amplitudes corresponds to a generalization of the structure noted earlier in a calculation found in the literature without a chemical potential (the associated integrals carry the dependence on the chemical potential). Our calculation shows that the chiral anomaly is una ected by the presence of a chemical potential at nite temperature. However, unlike in the absence of a chemical potential, odd point functions do not vanish. In fact, we nd that all the even point functions are even functions of while the odd point functions are odd functions of . We show that the origin of the structure of the amplitudes is best seen from a formulation of the theory in terms of left and right handed spinors. The calculations are also much simpler in this formulation and it clari es many other aspects of the theory.

Densidade de energia e força de radiação sobre fronteiras em movimento num espaço-tempo bidimensional
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2009-03) REGO, Andreson Luis Carvalho; ALVES, Danilo Teixeira; http://lattes.cnpq.br/6642002445572793
In the present work, we investigate the energy density and the quantum radiation reaction force on one moving boundary which imposes on a massless scalar field a Dirichlet or a Neumann boundary condition. Though we assume a particular motion for the boundary, introduced by Walker and Davies many years ago (J. Phys. A, 15 L477, 1982), we consider new possibilities for the initial field state, namely, thermal state and coherent state. We also investigate the problem of a cavity with one of the boundaries in the particular motion proposed by Walker and Davies, taking into account the vacuum, thermal and coherent initial field states. Finnaly we investigate the case of a non-static boundary which imposes the Robin boundary condition to the field.

Criação de fótons no efeito Casimir dinâmico em cavidade oscilante com condições de Neumann e Dirichlet
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2005-03) GRANHEN, Edney Ramos; ALVES, Danilo Teixeira; http://lattes.cnpq.br/6642002445572793
We consider a massless scalar field in a two-dimensional space-time inside an oscillating cavity with mixed boundary conditions. In order to discuss particle creation phenomenum, we consider the situation of parametric resonance in which the oscillating frequency is twice the frequency of the first mode of the static cavity. For convenience, we suppose that one of the boundaries is at rest and imposes Neumann condition to the field, whereas the other is in non-relativistic motion and imposes a Dirichlet condition on the field. Following the procedure developed by Dodonov and Klimov (Phys. Rev. A, 56, 2664 (1996)), we compute the number of created particles, the generation rate and the energy in the cavity. We compare our results with those found in the literature for the Dirichlet-Dirichlet case.

Análise da potencialidade a condução do BDT através da densidade eletrônica de estados via tight binding e desenvolvimento de software (B3J)

In this work we studied the potentiality of the polymer BDT (1,3-benzodithiole 4Hciclopenta[2,1-b:3,4b’]) to become a conducting polymer. Ground state conformations and the electronic structure have been calculated through quantum chemical methods in order to obtain the density of electronic states. The presence of several types of conformational defects and the variation of doping level has been considered. One of the most used theories to study the doping effects on conjugated polymers is the Huckel method. It is based on the separability of the sigma and pi bonds of planar molecules. BDT oligomers are not planar molecules and an extended Huckel method that includes all the atomic valence functions has been used. An original computation code, the B3J program, has been developed for this purpose. Simulations of the absorption spectrum in the UV-visible-near IR region have seen performed as well. Program B3J calculates the density of states of polymeric systems. The band structure of BDT was obtained with this software. We calculated the density of states of the neutral system and doped systems including several doping levels and both random and uniform distribution of defects. The square of the coefficients expansion of the wave function was obtained for polymers including up to 20 monomers. For these calculations we used geometries calculated by AM1 and PM3 quantum chemical methods. Finally, we studied the asymmetry of the charge separation induced by the presence of an external static electrical field in BDT oligomers suitably substituted by electron acceptor/donor species. The results are consistent with a transistor-like behavior of neutral and charged molecules.
