Main Scientific Areas of Research

  • The main activity of António Pereira Gonçalves in the last ten years has been the study of intermetallic compounds with d and f elements (including uranium and thorium). This work involves the prediction, synthesis, and characterization of new intermetallic compounds. Intermetallic compounds with d and f elements can show unusual magnetic and electrical transport properties, like supermagnetism, heavy fermion behavior or superconductivity. The motivation of this work is to establish relationships between the structural aspects and the physical properties, by a systematic study of this type of materials to provide the adequate data.
  • Recently he started a project dedicated to the implementation of a sputtering system for the deposition of uranium-containing films and multilayers. He is responsible for the High Temperature Synthesis and Crystal Growth and for the Films Deposition Laboratories.
Scientific Works

  • PhD thesis entitled "Compostos Intermetálicos do Tipo UFe12-xMx", IST-UTL, Lisboa, 1996.
  • Author or co-author of more than 110 original publications in Refereed Journals, of which 1 invited Review.
  • 6 chapters in books.
  • 1 national patent.
  • 180 lectures, oral presentations and communications to national and international meetings.
