From Fundamental Physics to Device Design
Our theory group explores the fundamental properties and device implications of nanoscale matter. We tackle these problems using a wide variety of theoretical techniques, ranging from ab initio approaches to low-energy effective models, and from nonequilibrium Green's functions to drift-diffusion equations.
Current Foci
- Spin dynamics in semiconductors and metals
- Carrier dynamics in narrow-gap semiconductor superlattices
- Electrovariable nanoplasmonics
- Single-dopant properties in semiconductors
- Novel spintronic devices
- Solid state realizations of quantum computation
