Researchers
Researchers have used the LDRX and who can be signed collaborations and partnerships for the use of multi-user laboratory.
Prof. Dr
. Valderes Drago (valderes@fisica.ufsc.br). Produces samples in the form of powder.
Prof. Dr
. Carlos Eduardo Maduro de Campos (www.pcemc.ufsc.br). Powder samples (including small amounts <mg). Rietveld method (structure refinement, phase quantification, drug polymorphism, average crystallite size and microdeformation) and Fundamental Parameters Analysis (FPA) using TOPAS. Microstructure modeling using the Total Scattering method and the DebUsSy program package. Determination of Crystalline Structures using data from XRPD and the DASH program package. High pressures (DAC) and temperatures. Measurements Residual stresses and texture of films and surfaces.
Prof. Dr. Ivan Helmuth Bechtold (webpage). The activities of the Group of Liquid Crystals and Micelles of 
the Department of Physics at UFSC with LDRX are mainly based on the identification of liquid-crystalline mesophases exhibited by functional organic materials. These materials are obtained by scientific collaborations with the group of Prof. Hugo Gallardo of the Chemistry Department at UFSC and Prof. Aloir A. Merlo of the Institute of Chemistry at the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul, who carry out the synthesis of the compounds. The investigation of new materials with these characteristics can bring great contributions to scientific development in this area of research, as well as, result in products for practical applications. This topic is very current, of technological interest, and adds new knowledge to the departments involved, providing new possibilities for the training of human resources, both at undergraduate and graduate levels.
