• closedAccess   A Joint Experimental and Theoretical Study on the Nanomorphology of CaWO4 Crystals 

      Longo, V. M.; Gracia, Lourdes; Stroppa, Daniel G.; Cavalcante, Laécio Santos; Orlandi, Marcelo; Ramírez, Antonio J.; Leite, Edson R.; Andres, Juan; Beltran, Armando; Varela, José A.; Longo, Elson ACS (2011-08)
      By the joint use of experimental techniques such as field emission scanning electron microscopy (FEG-SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM) and ab initio ...
    • openAccess   Anomalous oriented attachment growth behavior on SnO2 nanocrystals 

      Stroppa, Daniel G.; Montoro, Luciano A.; Beltran, Armando; Conti, Tiago G.; Da Silva, Rafael O.; Andres, Juan; Leite, Edson R.; Ramírez, Antonio J. Royal Society of Chemistry (2011)
      This work reports a detailed characterization of an anomalous oriented attachment behaviour for SnO2 nanocrystals. Our results evidenced an anisotropic growth for two identical 〈110〉 directions, which are equivalent according ...
    • closedAccess   Dopant segregation analysis on Sb:SnO2 nanocrystals 

      Beltran, Armando; Stroppa, Daniel G.; Montoro, Luciano A.; Conti, Tiago G.; Da Silva, Rafael O.; Andres, Juan; Leite, Edson R.; Ramírez, Antonio J. Wiley (2011-08-26)
      The development of reliable nanostructured devices is intrinsically dependent on the description and manipulation of materials properties at the atomic scale. Consequently, several technological advances are dependent on ...
    • closedAccess   Prediction of dopant atom distribution on nanocrystals using thermodynamic arguments 

      Stroppa, Daniel G.; Montoro, Luciano A.; Campello, Antonio; Gracia, Lourdes; Beltran, Armando; Andres, Juan; Leite, Edson R.; Ramírez, Antonio J. Royal Society of Chemistry (2014)
      A theoretical approach aiming at the prediction of segregation of dopant atoms on nanocrystalline systems is discussed here. It considers the free energy minimization argument in order to provide the most likely dopant ...
