Computational Condensed Matter Physics & NanoPhononics Laboratory

The Condensed Matter Physics & Nanophononics group is part of the Department of Physics, Bhavnagar University, Bhavnagar, Gujarat.  We are in principle a theory group working on the cutting edge of the vibrational and electronic properties of Materials with reduced dimension, Materials at ambient and extreme conditions by using the abinitio method and model theories to remain at forefront in the field. We approach the problem from the point of view of fundamental science, but with an eye towards what is currently experimentally possible, either in next-generation molecular electronics or materials science. Our theoretical techniques are a combination of analytic and computational methods. We have collaboration with both experimental and theoretical groups from national and international laboratories. Time-dependent density-functional theory (TDDFT) provides an efficient, elegant, and formally exact way of describing the dynamics of interacting many-body quantum systems, circumventing the need for solving the full time-dependent Schrödinger equation.
