Solid-State
Devices, Sensors, and Mesoscopic Systems:
An
area of production of novel materials, focusing
on quaternary semiconductors, ionic crystals,
and Perovskite-type oxides based on Mn,
Sn, and Mo. The magnetic, electrical, and
optical properties of these materials will
be studied, given that they are fundamental
in the design of devices. We will research
the effect of dimensionality reduction and
the presence of non-trivial confinements
and topologies in: the transport properties
of confined carriers in nano and mesoscopic
devices, the optical properties of devices
associated with impurities and excitonic
states under the action of external disturbances.
The Raman Effect will be examined in assembled
quantum dots, the Overhouser Effect, polaritons
in semiconducting micro-cavities, and the
effect of a high-density laser on ions and
molecules to predict spectra of photo-ionization
and photo-detachment. Two theoretical models
and simulations will be carried out for
the development and use of software, permitting
the design of optoelectronic devices, non-conventional
sensors, and nano-devices.

Our interest is in developing novel materials
with technological applications to advance
on the theoretical study of structured materials
based on these and in contributing to the
development of nanotechnology through modeling
and simulation of optoelectronic devices,
non-conventional sensors, and nano-devices.
To characterize heterostructures and
multilayers, and to develop theoretical
models to support experimental results
and describe carrier systems in complex
geometry structures, as well as the influence
of external disturbances upon these.
To enhance knowledge in novel materials,
nano and meso-structures, seeking to have
better understanding of their response
to external disturbances and, thus, design
and simulate optoelectronic devices, non-conventional
sensors, and nano-devices by developing
our own software.
