Albuquerque Research Interests In my research group, computational chemistry techniques (Molecular Dynamics of large systems, DFT, ab initio and semiempirical calculations), and the development of new methodologies, interaction potentials for new materials and linux scripts are used to investigate: a) Self-assembly of supramolecules. We wish to understand how monomeric units consisting of organic molecules or coordination compounds self-assemble to form giant polymeric supramolecules (See Fig. below) and which physical-chemical properties arise from this assembling. At long term, we would like to design new supramolecules exhibiting desired properties (e.g. luminescence, macrodipole, columnar formation, morphology, melting point, etc) out of specific monomer units. The collaboration with experimental groups is very important here. MD techniques and smiempirical calculations are used. For more details, see: J. Am. Chem. Soc. 135 (2013) 2148 or Chem. Eur. J. 19 (2013) 1647. b) Properties of nanoalloys-based materials. Molecular dynamics are used to describe the properties of nanoalloys containing different kinds of metallic atoms (e.g. Au, Pt, Pd, Ni, etc) and geometries (core-shell, shell-core, solid solution). New interaction potentials are currently being developed to simulate hybrid materials formed by transition-metal NPs embedded in ceramics (see Fig. below). Finally, we also wish to understand the dynamics of nanocrystals’ growth based on their atomic composition and geometry. Here, collaboration with experimental groups is also very important.
