MSc in Theoretical Physics
Scientific Interests
Quantum Physics has been extensively studied the past century by giving rise to spectacular applications. A branch of physics that has been benefited a lot, is without any doubts materials' science. Novel materials have been predicted and unknown properties, such as magnetic and topological, have been discovered in both new and conventional materials. The goal of the scientific community is twofold. At first, understanding the structure of these materials and subsequently explaining their properties consist the standard way of evolution. From a theoretical perspective, electronic structure theory is used to understand materials' structure and their properties. My research lies on finding the topological properties of some materials by using DFT+DMFT simulations.
Nowadays, charge current plays a crucial role in data transmission. Despite its spectacular applications, some loss, due to dissipation, is inevitable in any kind of application since charge is carried by electrons, making the device less efficient. Spintronics (SPIN TRansport electrONICS) use a different type of carrier in order to increase the efficiency of the device. A particular example is magnons. Since magnons are wave-like spin excitations they are insensitive to dissipation and in this way, the efficiency increases. In order to host magnons, materials should have some specific topological properties, which affect their structure. My interests lie on finding specific structures of materials with magnetic and non trivial topological properties that can host any type of potential information carrier.
