The researchers associated with the INCT MatFerrce, prof. Dr. Jose Antonio Eiras (UFSCar) and prof. Dr. Eudes Borges Araújo (UNESP) were part of the Brazilian delegation at the 6th Meeting of the BRICS Working Group on Materials Science and Nanotechnology, held at URAL Federal University, in the city of Ekaterinburg / Russia.
The meeting took place from August 26 to 29 and the researchers acted as guests by the Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation (MCTI), in the Brazilian delegation headed by Prof. Maximiliano Delany Martins.
On the occasion, Profs. Eudes and Eiras participated in the opening of the event, as representatives of Brazil, in addition to presenting the works entitled "Main advancements on ferroelectric materials in Brazil" and "National Institute for Science, Technology in Ferroic Materials for Energy Converters", respectively. The presentations highlighted the state of the art of research in Brazil in ferroic materials, the various options for supporting scientific research, and the current perspectives for the establishment of international cooperation on the subject.
The 6th Meeting of the BRICS Working Group on Materials Science and Nanotechnology brought together leading researchers from the 10 BRICS countries to discuss recent advances in the fields of advanced magnetic and ferroelectric materials, materials for energy conversion and storage, environmental and agricultural issues, and biomaterials and nanomedicine.

One of the world's leading forums on Materials Science and Nanotechnology took place last month in Russia. The Materials Science and Nanotechnology 2024 (MSN 2024) brought together researchers from the areas of nanotechnology, biomaterials, ferroic and magnetic materials, as well as representatives of the BRICS member countries.
On the occasion, our researchers prof. Dr. Jose Antonio Eiras (UFSCar) and prof. Dr. Eudes Borges Araújo (UNESP) were invited to present the works:
· "Crystallization kinetics of rare-earth doped BiFeO3 thin films" – prof. Eudes Araújo (UNESP)
· "Designing new room temperature magnetoelectric materials" – prof. José Eiras (UFSCar) Prof.
Eiras, however, chaired the session "Multiferroic and magnetic materials II".
We congratulate profs. researchers José A. Eiras and Eudes B. Araújo for the important international representation and relevant dissemination of research at INCT MatFerrce.

Click to expand the text of the news.
The I Neutron Techniques Workshop is a collaborative initiative between ISIS-Muon and Neutron Source and Brazil that will bring together several undergraduate, master's, doctoral students and professors from the most diverse areas of science and technology to learn about the use of characterization techniques that use neutrons.
This edition will take place in person on March 21, at the Federal University of Paraná (UFPR), in Curitiba. The event will be attended by prominent researchers working at ISIS-Muon and Neutron Source, located at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory (UK), who will introduce participants to the use of characterization techniques that use neutrons. In addition, renowned Brazilian researchers will also participate in the event, recognized for their significant contributions in their respective areas of expertise.
The workshop is being organized by the Laboratory of X-ray Optics and Instrumentation (LORXI), the oldest research laboratory in the Department of Physics at UFPR. Currently, LORXI is coordinated by professors Guinter Kellermann and Fabiano Yokaichiya, a member of the INCT MatFerrce team.
Registration is open until 08/03!

On February 15, PhD student Roger Carvalho Oliveira, a student member of MatFerrce and a student in the Graduate Program in Physics at the State University of Maringá (UEM), concluded his doctoral project with the defense of his thesis, entitled "Bi 0.95 X 0.05 FeO 3 (X = La, Er, Sc and Nd) synthesized under metastable conditions: a study of structural, magnetic, and dielectric properties." The work, focusing on the understanding of structural, magnetic and dielectric properties of BiFeO 3 perovskite modified with rare earths and processed by metastable synthesis methods, was developed under the guidance of Prof. Dr. Gustavo Sanguino Dias, member of the Innovation and Development Group of Multifunctional Devices at UEM.
No último dia 15 de fevereiro, o doutorando Roger Carvalho Oliveira, membro discente do MatFerrce e aluno do Programa de Pós-graduação em Física da Universidade Estadual de Maringá (UEM), concluiu seu projeto de doutorado com a defesa de sua tese, intitulada “Bi 0,95 X 0,05 FeO 3 (X = La, Er, Sc e Nd) sintetizado em condições metaestáveis: um estudo de propriedades estruturais, magnéticas e dielétricas”. O trabalho, com foco na compreensão de propriedades estruturais, magnéticas e dielétricas da perovskita BiFeO 3 modificada com terras raras e processada por métodos de síntese metaestáveis foi desenvolvido sob orientação do Prof. Dr. Gustavo Sanguino Dias, membro do Grupo de Inovação e Desenvolvimento de Dispositivos Multifuncionais da UEM. The thesis work was developed in close collaboration with the Ferroic Materials Group of UFSCar, a member of MatFerrce, and with the Institut für Physik der Kondensierten Materie of the Technische Universität Braunschweig in Germany, an institution in which Dr. Roger carried out a sandwich PhD internship with funding from the Capes/PDSE Program. In the thesis work, which resulted in 2 publications within the scope of the INCT:
Dr. Roger sought to understand the physical properties of this important perovskite, one of the most promising materials for applications in modern photovoltaic solar cells and innovative logic circuits constituting computer memories. Due to the broad theme of the thesis, the evaluation board had the participation of members of MatFerrce, as well as other experts from different areas of knowledge. Soon the final version of the thesis will be made available to the general public on the www.pfi.uem.br website.

Researchers who are members of the INCT MatFerrce of the State University of Maringá (UEM) started this week (05 to 10/02/2024) a research mission at the Oak Ridge National Lab., one of the most important international centers for basic and applied research in energy, located in the city of Oak Ridge, Tennessee, USA.
In this mission, the MatFerrce team, composed of researchers Gustavo Dias, Luiz Cótica and Ivair Santos, will conduct neutron diffraction experiments on nanomaterials (based on BiFeO3) used in various applications, such as the generation of photovoltaic energy or the construction of modern computer memories.
The researchers will try to understand the basic physical mechanisms (not yet fully unraveled or understood by science!) responsible for the excellent performance of these nanomaterials in the applications mentioned above when they are produced with a large but controlled amount of crystalline defects.
