Research Areas

  • Spintronics and spin-polarized transport

  • Phononic Crystal uses in Quantum Computing

  • Magnetic semiconductor quantum dots

One area of study is the theory of dilute magnetic semiconductors (DMS). Topics include cal­cu­lations of thermodynamic, electronic and magneto-optical properties of magnetic quantum dots.

Another topic is computational band-gap engineering of phononic crystals. The phononic crystal is based on a semiconducting material and will host spin qubits.

From the computational point of view, we use e.g. Mathematica (finite-difference approach to the 3D Schrodinger equation), COMSOL (finite-element method for phononic crystal simulation), and codes developed in the group (tight-binding).
