To this end, we begin with a comprehensive review of the fundamentals of general relativity, relativistic hydrodynamics, and the Raychaudhuri equation, as well as an overview of the standard cosmological model, gathering the necessary elements for a consistent analysis of anisotropic scenarios. Initially, we revisit the original calculations of the Kantowski Sachs model, proposing a new graphical and interpretative approach to its dynamics. Subsequently, as an original contribution, we introduce a relation between the scale factors of the metric and obtain an exact solution of Einstein’s field equations, considering a general expression for the universe’s matter content, including the presence of a scalar f ield. We find that the presence of the scalar field leads to a significant decrease in energy density during the early stages, in a manner analogous to the inflationary process. Wealso determine the kinematic parameters associated with the model, such as the scalar expansion Θ, the shear σ, and the term RµνUµUν, related to the acceleration of the universe’s expansion. Finally, we analyze the evolutionary dynamics of the model through the Hubble, density, and deceleration parameters, aiming to understand the influence of anisotropy in a cosmological scenario with accelerated expansion.

However, it inevitably decomposes into hazardous by-products during prolonged operation. Detecting these decomposition products is crucial for assessing equipment health and preventing insulation failures. Two-dimensional (2D) carbon-based materials have recently emerged as promising platforms for gas sensing. Nonetheless, their inherently weak van der Waals interactions with SF6 by-products often require surface functionalization, potentially compromising device reusability. Here, we propose four pristine 2D carbon allotropes- Net-graphene, Graphene+, T-graphene, and Biphenylene- as field-effect nanosensors for SF6 decomposition products. Using density functional theory combined with non-equilibrium Green’s function calculations, we examined the physisorption of H2S, SO2, SO2F2, and SOF2 on these materials. Although adsorption is dominated by van der Waals forces, an appropriate gate voltage shifts the chemical potential into sensitive regions of the transmission spectrum, enabling both detection and unambiguous identification of target molecules. In particular, a Net-graphene device can distinguish SO2 and H2S with high specificity, negligible cross-selectivity to O2 and H2O, and ultrafast recovery times. Moreover, Graphene+ uniquely detects both SO2 and SOF2 at a single gate voltage. Overall, the combination of intrinsic stability, low-power operation, rapid recovery, high sensitivity, and strong selectivity positions Net-graphene and Graphene+ as leading candidates for real-time, field-effect-based monitoring of SF6 decomposition products in power-industry applications.

As proposed by Carroll, Field, and Jackiw, electrodynamics in an LSV scenario can be analyzed through the action of a background vector field, which couples to the electromagnetic field and modifies its classical behavior. In this context, the presence of such a background vector field influences the intensities of electromagnetic fields and particle densities. By varying its order of magnitude, its contribution to the classical model becomes evident, altering the intensity of elec tromagnetic fields and the distribution of charged particles, such as electron and ion densities in the plasma
- ItemEstudo teórico de propriedades eletrônicas e ópticas de heteroestruturas de van der Waals(Universidade Federal do Espírito Santo, 2025-03-10) Pedrosa, Renan Narciso; Scopel, Wanderlã Luis ; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-2091-8121; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1465127043013658; https://orcid.org/0000-0001-7966-4747; http://lattes.cnpq.br/2460667257000010; Miwa, Roberto Hiroki ; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-1237-1525; http://lattes.cnpq.br/8391413167385647; Freitas, Jair Carlos Checon de ; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-4474-2474; http://lattes.cnpq.br/3074997830683878; Nascimento, Valberto Pedruzzi ; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-9543-5335; http://lattes.cnpq.br/9908042258225541; Menezes, Marcos Gonçalves de ; https://orcid.org/0000-0001-8143-0181; http://lattes.cnpq.br/5945425658332294In this work, we examine the energetic, structural, electronic and optical properties of van der Waals heterostructures, based on first-principles calculations. The investigated interfaces were: (i) silicene/WSSe (metal-semiconductor) interface and (ii) MoSe2/WSSe (semiconductor-semiconductor). For cases (i) and (ii), the results indicate that the formation of the interface is driven by an exothermic process, where a charge transfer from silicene (WSSe) to WSSe (MoSe2) occurs, respectively. Furthermore, the results of the electronic properties show that, for cases (i) and (ii), the formation presents type-I and type-II band alignment characteristics, respectively. The optical properties obtained from the solution of the Bethe-Salpeter equation indicate, for case (i), that the power conversion efficiency of the heterostructure is 2.42 times higher than that of the WSSe (Janus) monolayer. On the other hand, for the MoSe2/WSSe heterobilayer, the lowest-energy excitonic states were verified. The results reveal that the first dipole-allowed state has an interlayer character with a transition rate ∼ 616 times lower than that of the intralayer ones. Consequently, this small transition rate implies a longer radiative lifetime of up to three orders of magnitude higher than that of the lowest-energy intralayer exciton. These findings emphasize that the formation of Janus-based heterobilayers presents a considerable improvement in optical properties compared to monolayers, which indicates their potential for application in optoelectronic devices

Our investigation involves deriving master equations that govern perturbations, encompassing different modes of odd and even parity. We establish criteria for assessing the stability of black holes using the theory of self-adjoint operators. Furthermore, we extend our analysis through the implementation of numerical simulations aimed at obtaining the temporal evolution of equations governing perturbations, thereby corroborating our analysis based on the theory of self-adjoint operators. We explore the superradiant instability, demonstrating that the unstable modes lead to instability if there is a potential well outside the horizon where these modes remain confined.
