SPR sensors are photonic devices based on surface plasma resonance (SPR), which consists of longitudinal collective oscillation of free electron gas at the interface between a metal and a dielectric. Due to its surface stimuli sensitive response, the use of SPR sensors has been reported for various applications. In this paper, we evaluate an SPR sensor coupled to the periodic array of metal (gold) nanoparticles, which can represent the surface immobilization of metal nanopollutants generated, for example, from the nanocomposites manufacturing process. The the SPR sensor multilayer structure is compounded by a prism, a gold thin film and a SiO2 layer. The sensor response to variations in the nanoparticles array is theoretically analyzed by an analytical model based on the effective permittivity of Maxwell Garnett and the generalized reflection coefficient for planar multilayer structure. The analytical model is validated by comparison with experimental and numerical results, showing great accuracy for a given range of values of the periodic array parameters. The evaluation the allowed wave modes of the sensor structure and the multi-layer structure optimization, for the detection and characterization of static parameters of metal nanoparticles, are the main objectives of the analysis developed in this work.

(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2011-02-14) REIS, Marcos Allan Leite dos; DEL NERO, Jordan; http://lattes.cnpq.br/5168545718455899
In this work, several nano and microstructured organic devices were developed based on molecules of 4-dimethyl amino azobenzene-2-carboxylic acid (Methyl Red – VM), C60 Fullerene, nanocomposite of Aluminum/Carbon Nanotubes (Al/NC) and polymers: Poly(3, 4- dioxithiophene ethylene)-poly(sulfonate stireno) – PEDOT-PSS and poly(3-hexiltiofeno) – P3HT. These devices are volatile memory, fuel sensors, thermal-piezoresisitive sensor and photocells, which were manufactured by spin-coating, drop casting and chemical vapor deposition, resulting in devices with planar or layer by layer geometry. Morphological, optical, electrical and thermal characterizations were performed on devices, resulting: (a) volatile memory with a bit retention time of 4.5 s, the characteristic curves of current vs. voltage with peak-valley ratios of 8: under a 10:1 voltage positive and negative electrical energized with electrical conductivity of 10-4 S / m (OFF state) to 3.10 S / m (ON) at room temperature, (b) fuel sensors like chemiresistor sensors characteristics with sensitivity to ethanol and gasohol in concentrations of 26.25 ppm, (c) thermal-piezoresistive sensor with polynomial relationship between temperature and electrical resistance, linear relationship between pressure and electrical resistance, more accurate than a K type thermocouple when compared to a mercury thermometer at room temperature, (d) photocells with better performance when doped by Methyl Red showed quantum efficiencies up to 0.04%, real power at 0.27 and power conversion efficiency of 2.0%. These results indicate that electronic devices developed showed a better performance in comparison to similar organics.

Development of computational 3D MoM algorithm for nanoplasmonics
(2013-12) SOUZA, Nadson Welkson Pereira de; COSTA, Karlo Queiroz da; DMITRIEV, Victor Alexandrovich
In this paper, we present an algorithm for full-wave electromagnetic analysis of nanoplasmonic structures. We use the three-dimensional Method of Moments to solve the electric field integral equation. The computational algorithm is developed in the language C. As examples of application of the code, the problems of scattering from a nanosphere and a rectangular nanorod are analyzed. The calculated characteristics are the near field distribution and the spectral response of these nanoparticles. The convergence of the method for different discretization sizes is also discussed.

The interaction on a nanometric scale of molecular or polymeric species with inorganic substrates constitute the basis for obtaining hybrid materials. The development of these materials represents an emerging and interdisciplinary topic between the frontiers of life sciences, materials and nanotechnology. The combination of these two materials, organic-inorganic, produces a new material with improved properties and structures essentially different from its individual components. Constituted by a continuous phase (matrix), being plastics or cellulose, and an inorganic phase, such as clay minerals or oxides. several papers have been published obtaining these materials with improved properties: traction modules, gas barrier, flame retardants, density, melt strength, electrical conductivity, etc. Capable of making industry flexible and rigid products and in the manufacture of electronic materials (wire and cable coatings manufacture of sensors / actuators), vaccine production, among others. The most clay minerals used in the synthesis of hybrid materials are the species montmorillonite, clay but others can also be used, such as illite and palygorskita. In the state of Maranhão, northeastern Brazil, there are several occurrences of clay minerals, most notably smectite, illite and palygorskite. Among these clay minerals two new occurrences have already been identified and characterized by the UFPA Group of Applied Mineralogy (GMA), such as Bentonite Formosa and Palygorskite, which are abundant in the region and do not yet have an application. In addition to a new occurrence of illite not yet characterized in the region of the municipality of Barão de Grajaú (MA). Another material with great potential for obtaining nanomaterials is the vanadium pentoxide, having intrinsic features such as alignment of the magnetic field, and redox system such as gel elasticity, enabling application in the electronics industry for the manufacture of batteries and electrochromic displays for sensors/actuators. In Brazil, vanadium pentoxide began to be produced in 2014 by Maracás S/A. Currently, its consumption is focused on the production of special steels for the manufacture of aircraft structures and the aerospace industry. At the national level the production and development of hybrid materials and platforms for use in high-tech industry is small. Thus, the development and improvement of nanomaterials is necessary using as starting material and clay minerals national occurrence oxides. Within this context, this thesis aimed to develop a study on application of three clay minerals (Mg-montmorrillonite, illite and Palygorskita) from northeastern Brazil, besides vanadium pentoxide in the processing of hybrid materials using as poly matrix (methylmethacrylate) (PMMA ) and cellulose nanofibers. For this, the methodology of this work was divided into three parts: The first one consisted of the collection or synthesis, treatment and characterization of the individual materials (clay minerals, vanadium pentoxide, methyl poly (methacrylate) and cellulose). The second was to obtain hybrid materials clay mineral-PMMA (AP) and vanadium pentoxide cellulose (VC) and the third one was mainly to evaluate the thermal and mechanical properties of the AP hybrids and the electrochromic properties of the VC films. The characterization of the samples confirmed the predominance of Mg-montmorillonite, Illita and Palygorskita. The natural clay and organophilic fraction were used to obtain 12 samples with common and elastomeric PMMA to perform the physical-chemical tests focusing mainly on flammability and traction. By means of XRD measurements it was possible to verify that there was interaction between the two organic-inorganic phases, and that in the elastomeric PMMA there was a better dispersion of the clay minerals. The tests carried out on these materials indicated that the hybrids exhibit intrinsic thermal and mechanical behavior of each material possibly related to the type of structure present in the inorganic phase, contributing to the increase or decrease of Tg, Tm, flammability and traction. Four V2O5-cellulose films were obtained and characterized. Electrochromic tests were conducted in the films that presented better performance. It was possible to verify that there was interaction between the nanofibers of vanadium pentoxide and cellulose maintaining the electrochromic property of the oxide. Potentiometric measures were found that after 30 and 100 cycles the films remained flexible and maintained their properties. In this way, this work concluded that it is possible to obtain hybrid materials with clay minerals coming from the northeastern region of Brazil and can adapt their thermal and mechanical properties according to their application. The same was observed for the VC films that presented satisfactory results and that can be used in displays and / or flexible sensors.

Metamateriais are artificial media structured to obtain physical properties not readily found in nature. In general, these media are arranged periodically with a unit cell whose dimensions are smaller than the wavelength of the incident electromagnetic radiation. This characteristic allows dealing with such materiais as homogenized media, which means describing them by effective constitutive parameters. This work performs the analytical and numerical model of a metamaterial structured with metallic inclusions. It is implemented a formalism based on the Maxwell-Garnett approach in order to describe the effective refraction index of the metamaterial accounting for the geometry of the nanoparticles and the nature of excited local field modes. It is shown that these modes correspond to surface plasmon excitations. From the characterization of the metamaterial at the optical domain, it is investigated the potential of such medium to the construction of more compact refraction index sensors, with sensitivity values higher than the ones typically found in systems based exclusively on optical fibers.

Resonant properties, of modified triangular plasmonic nanoparticles with higher field concentration
(2013-12) COSTA, Karlo Queiroz da; DMITRIEV, Victor Alexandrovich
In this paper, we present an analysis of the resonant response of modified triangular metallic nanoparticles with polynomial sides. The particles are illuminated by an incident plane wave and the method of moments is used to solve numerically the electromagnetic scattering problem. We investigate spectral response and near field distribution in function of the length and polynomial order of the nanoparticles. Our results show that in the analyzed wavelength range (0.5-1.8) µm these particles possess smaller number of resonances and their resonant wavelengths, near field enhancement and field confinement are higher than those of the conventional triangular particle with linear sides.

(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2016-02-24) OLIVEIRA, Antonio Wanderley; CAVALCANTE, Gervásio Protásio dos Santos; http://lattes.cnpq.br/2265948982068382; DEL NERO, Jordan; http://lattes.cnpq.br/5168545718455899
One of the goals for the expansion of knowledge in molecular electronics may be found in the Project related to the creation of nanoscale circuits based on nonlinear current–voltage characteristics composed by molecules connected to metallic electrodes under the action of an external electric field. The development of molecular electronic devices using systems exhibiting similar feature as intrinsic semiconductor materials is one of the goals to be achieved by an extensive research in nanotechnology. Thus, this work aims at expanding of knowledge not only of the electronic transport, but also the physical features that justify the resonant regime for electronic transport, such as conductance and Transition Voltage Spectroscopy. We theoretically investigate the electronic charge transport in a molecular system composed by carbyne structures taking into account the variations in the bonds −𝐶≡𝐶− type (simple and triple bonds for each carbon). Ab initio calculations approximations are performed to investigate the distribution of electron states over the molecule in the presence of an external electric field. This new nanoelectronic device raise up advantage for the design of large 1D hybrid organic/metallic circuits with an increased electronic flow that is importante for the needs of nanotechnology.
