Missions

High performance numerical calculations of transport and magneto-transport properties of strange metals

Activités

- Development of a finite-temperature Lanczos code in C++ for calculating longitudinal and transverse electron transport
- Calculation of electron transport and optical properties of the tJ and Hubbard models in the presence of strong magnetic fields
- Calculation of electron transport and optical properties of extended tJ and Hubbard models (long-range interactions)
- Calculation of electron transport and optical properties of the tJ and Hubbard models in the presence of disorder
- Calculation of collective charge and spin excitation spectra

Compétences

The candidate must demonstrate:
- Solid experience and complete mastery of C++ and Python code development
- In-depth knowledge of the physics of the superconducting cuprates as well as graphene and dichalcogenide bilayers
- A strong motivation to work in one of the most competitive fields of condensed matter physics.

Contexte de travail

The research activity will take place within the condensed matter theory group of the Néel Institute. The project will be led by Simone Fratini, a leading theory expert with seminal contributions to charge transport in organic semiconductors, disordered metals and bad metals and whose current research focuses on correlation-driven phenomena and strange metal behaviour. Local collaborations include A. Ralko and I. Duchemin, both renowned experts in computational physics.

The Institut NÉEL is a CNRS unit (UPR 2940) under agreement with the University Grenoble Alpes. The laboratory is related to the CNRS Physique. It is located in Grenoble, in the heart of a unique scientific, industrial and cultural environment. It is one of the largest French national research institutes for fundamental research in condensed matter physics enriched by interdisciplinary activities at the interfaces with chemistry, engineering and biology. It consists of 450 employees, including 175 researchers.
CNRS is a public, scientific and technological organisation.
The core mandate is to identify, carry out ou have carried out, either alone or with partners, all research that advances science or contributes to the country's economic, social, and cultural progress. Internationally recognised for the excellence of its scientific research, the CNRS is a reference in the world of research and development, as well as for the general public.

Le poste se situe dans un secteur relevant de la protection du potentiel scientifique et technique (PPST), et nécessite donc, conformément à la réglementation, que votre arrivée soit autorisée par l'autorité compétente du MESR.
