Job Description
Missions
The project addresses the unresolved complexities in the theoretical description of electronic transport properties in strongly correlated materials, an area where even the most advanced theoretical frameworks fall short. These materials, known for their anomalous transport phenomena, starkly deviate from conventional band theory predictions for normal metals, often displaying "strange metal" behavior and various ordered states induced by complex many-body effects. The primary goal of the project is to develop a robust, comprehensive theoretical framework that accurately replicates experimental measurements and allows for precise interpretation of experimental results. This advanced approach will surpass existing theoretical models by incorporating spatial collective electronic fluctuations and non-local multi-electron scattering processes, which are essential for accurately describing and predicting transport properties in correlated materials. The framework will enable direct comparison with experimental results, bridging the gap between theory and experiment. The success of the project will revolutionize electronic technologies by providing crucial insights and methodologies essential for understanding the complex collective electronic behavior of correlated materials.
Activity
- analytical and numerical solution of the quantum many-body electronic problems in and out-of equilibrium
- writing of scientific articles
- presentation of the project results at seminars and conferences
- participation in group discussions
Your Profil
Skills
