This work, with collaboration of Prof. Rodrigo Arouca (CBPF), reported real-space imaging of moir\u00e9-confined excitons in 2\u00b0 twisted bilayer MoS2, addressing the challenge of locating different excitonic species within a single moir\u00e9 unit cell. Using room-temperature photocurrent atomic force microscopy, combined with a Wannier-based moir\u00e9-exciton model, model, they show that direct and indirect excitons localize at distinct stacking registries, establishing benchmarks for excitonic lattices and optoelectronic devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This work, with collaboration of prof. Ariel Nonato (UFMA),  demonstrates mixed-ligand engineering in manganese hybrid perovskite-like frameworks by partially substituting azide with formate linkers. Through solution synthesis, elemental analysis, PXRD, temperature-dependent diffraction, FTIR and DSC, they tune reversible solid\u2013solid transitions near ambient conditions while modulating entropy, enthalpy and phase coexistence. Together, the papers advance design rules for quantum and energy-related materials by linking microscopic structure to macroscopic optical or thermal functionality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
