Research interest - 'Ab-initio' study of correlated materials

Overview:

Ab-initio material simulations by density functional theory (DFT) and dynamical mean-field theory (DMFT) 

Quantum solid state and condensed matter problems are often challenging to directly solve, but still they can be treated via 'ab-initio' methods if proper approximations can be provided. We employ two electronic structure calculation methods, density functional theoy (DFT) and dynamical mean-field theory (DMFT), tackling both the weakly and strongly correlated electronic systems respectively.

본 연구실에서는 강한 전자간 상호작용을 갖는 고체 및 응집물질물리계들의 물성을 '제일원리적' (i.e. 모델이나 파라미터 가정을 최소화한) 전자구조 계산 도구들을 통해 계산 및 예측하며, 이를 통해 기능성 신물질을 제안 및 디자인하는 것을 목표로 합니다. 해당 내용에 대한 간단한 국문 소개는 다음 자료를 참고하세요. 

Spin-orbial-lattice interplay in correlated materials

Spin, orbital, and structural degrees of freedom in correlated electron systems can show complicated yet intriguing interplay, giving rise to novel quantum mechanical phases which may be useful for future device applications. Atomic or molecular d-orbitals in transition metal compounds are useful objects in this regard, where various energy scales (e.g. kinetic energy, electronic Coulomb interactions, atomic spin-orbit coupling, et cetera) are competing to each other. We aim to exploit such interplay between various degrees of freedom to devise novel functional materials, because relatively small perturbation can play a critical role in switching on and off different phases in such cases.

전자간 상호작용이 강한 물질들에서는 물질 내의 스핀, 오비탈, 그리고 구조 자유도가 서로 강하게 결합될 수 있으며, 이를 통해 이전까지 예측되지 못했던 흥미로운 물성이 발현될 수 있습니다. 또한 이러한 물성들을 새로운 소자 개발에 응용할 수 있는 가능성이 있습니다. 해당 내용에 대한 간단한 국문 소개는 다음 자료를 참고하세요. 

Topological Weyl/Dirac/nodal semimetals 

Thanks to recent developments in the so-called 'Berry phase' theory and the role of topology in the abstract wavefunction space of crystalline solid, we have been facing a plethora of new insulating and metallic phases hosting novel low-energy fermionic excitations which do not necessarily have high-energy (particle physics) analogues. Two-dimensional (2D) Dirac fermions in graphene, 3D Weyl fermions, and nodal fermions with one-dimensional gapless line in the k-space are such examples. We are interested in investigating symmetry conditions that protect such novel semimetallic phases and exploring possible interesting tranport properties.

Berry 페이즈 및 고체 내 파동함수의 위상학적 성질에 대한 최신의 연구들 덕분에, 최근 들어 여러 가지 다양한 밴드 절연체 및 반금속 (semimetal) 상태들이 제안되고 있습니다. 저희 연구실에서는 고체 내에 존재하는 다양한 대칭성을 이용하여 Dirac, Weyl, 그리고 1차원 페르미 면을 가질 수 있는 물질군 후보를 탐색 및 신물질을 제안하며, 이로부터 발생할 수 있는 흥미로운 물성을 탐구하고자 합니다.  해당 내용에 대한 간단한 국문 소개는 다음 자료를 참고하세요.

Realizing "Kitaev" materials in transition metal compounds

Spin-orbit-entangled magnetic moments are promising objects in realizing nonconventional magnetisms in condensed matter systems. One example is the so-called "Kitaev magnetism" originating from j_eff=1/2 orbitals in transition metal compounds with strong spin-orbit coupling, which has been suggested as a promising way for fault-tolerant quantum computing. We are interested in searching for potential candidates for such Kitaev magnetism in transition metal compounds.
