Virtual-Slit Focusing in a Cycloidal Mass Spectrometer – A Proof of Concept
Dr. Rafael Bento Serpa
Postdoctoral Associate | Duke University Nanomaterials and Thin Films Lab
Abstract:
This work demonstrates a novel approach to mass spectrometry using the “virtual-slit” created by the small, spatial volume from which ions are generated by localized ionization techniques (e.g., laser ionization of particles and surfaces, and spark ionization). That is, the volume in which the ions are generated creates a localized source of ions in much the same way as a slit that allows only ions from a specific cross-sectional area to pass. As demonstrated in this work, the unique perfect focusing properties of a cycloidal mass analyzer can enable the localized ionization volume to function as a virtual slit. In this manuscript, we provide a proof-of-concept (POC) demonstration of a virtual-slit cycloidal mass spectrometer (VS-CyMaS) consisting of a cycloidal mass analyzer, a laser ionization source, and an ion array detector. The laser is used to ionize either bulk or thin-film samples of Cu, Ti, Ni, and Cr. Results indicate that the width of the peaks at the detector is the same as the laser spot size, validating the concept of virtual-slit focusing. Furthermore, the material ablated with each laser pulse for Ti and Cu is estimated at 60 and 140 fg, respectively, indicating that a very low detection limit is possible given the ability of the cycloidal mass analyzer to collect ions generated by laser ionization that have wide energy and angular dispersions.

Aberration and Doppler effect on the CMB: kinematical and intrinsic contributions
Dr. Omar Roldán
Pós-doutorando – UFRJ
Abstract:
The aberration and Doppler coupling effects of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) were measured by the Planck satellite. The most straightforward interpretation leads to a direct detection of our peculiar velocity, consistent with the measurement of the well-known dipole. We show however, that in some cases a primordial dipolar potential can also produce such effects. But in addition it produces other signatures due to integrated terms which we will discuss in some detail. We also discuss how aberration measurements can be used to constraint some models which introduce super-horizon perturbations to explain the hemispherical asymmetry. This work has also been used to infer the Intrinsic Dipole. Finally we also discuss about CMB anisotropies at all orders and the non-linear Sachs-Wolfe formula.

Transporte eletrônico em nanoestruturas com quiralidade
Prof. Dr. Luis Guilherme de Carvalho Rego
Departamento de Física, UFSC
Abstract:
A quiralidade geométrica é facilmente percebida em uma figura cuja imagem no espelho não pode ser superposta com ela mesma. No entanto, o conceito de quiralidade dinâmica tem mais relevância, pois conecta o mundo observável com propriedades fundamentais da natureza. Neste trabalho (DOI:10.1021/acs.nanolett.1c02636) investigamos a propagação de elétrons em nanofios helicoidais e verificamos que a interação entre momento angular de spin e a quiralidade do nanofio, interligados pela interação spin-órbita, gera uma assimetria na direção de propagação das partículas. O efeito é induzido pela quebra de paridade, causada pela quiralidade da estrutura molecular do fio. Para realizar este estudo utilizamos um modelo microscópico que leva em consideração a interação spin-órbita no material. Os cálculos são aplicados a um novo material, uma cadeia dupla hélice totalmente inorgânica feita do material SnIP, que é um semicondutor com bandgap de ~ 1,9 eV. Por fim, consideramos a relação deste efeito com fenômenos associados, dentre eles: polarização de spin induzida por quiralidade (efeito CISS), propagação de carga em nanotubos de carbono, e atividade óptica em materiais quirais e metamateriais.

Neutrinos e a busca por física além do modelo padrão
Dr. Pedro S. Pasquini
Tsung-Dao Lee Institute & School of Physics and Astronomy, Shanghai Jiao Tong University
Abstract:
Os neutrinos foram propostos por Pauli em 1930 através de uma carta na qual ele afirma “Essa é uma ideia que eu não ouso publicar”, pois era uma partícula impensavelmente difícil de se detectar. Hoje, 90 anos depois, os neutrinos já renderam mais de 5 prêmios Nobel e tomam um papel central na física de partículas de fronteira. Mas o que uma partícula já tão estudada pode trazer de novo? Uma das poucas evidências de física além do modelo padrão: A sua massa! A massa dos neutrinos permite a existência de um fenômeno chamado de oscilação de neutrinos, onde neutrinos de um tipo se transformam em outro. O estado da arte de experimentos de neutrinos buscam medir os parâmetros que controlam as oscilações. Estes podem trazer evidências de física nova em escalas de energias que não são alcançadas por grandes aceleradores.
