Quantum Materials Theory
Group Leader: Alejandro Molina-Sánchez
Institute of Materials Science at the University of Valencia
Our research is at the interface of materials science and theoretical condensed-matter physics. We focus on ab initio methods applied to the study of optics, magnetism and electronics in 2D materials. The physics of excitons, phonons, magnons in 2D materials are at the center of our research

This heterobilayer systems combines antiferromagnetic and ferromagnetic orders. Interlayer exchange should lead both to exchange bias and to the emergence of hybrid collective modes that combine FM and AF magnons.
