Available Master Theses
In
the research area of theoretical solid state physics
strongly
correlated systems
quantum many-body systems out of equilibrium
Mott
solar cells: impact ionisation and phonon heat dissipation.
Here
you will also use and develop
A Dynamical Mean Field Theory code which also includes the effects
of a time periodic perturbation to investigate
photovoltaic effects in correlated Mott insulators
and their interplay with phonons.
Development
of the Auxiliary
Master equation approach
Here
you will furtehr develop a
numerical approach to treat strongly-correlated systems out of
equilibrium
Correlated
materials out of equilibrium from first principles
In
this thesis you will use a combination of the TransSiesta
code and the so-called
Auxiliary
Master Equation approach developed
in our group, to study transport properties of correlated materials
out of equilibrium.
Simulation
of Quantum Transport across a simple model for a correlated Quantum
Dot.
In
this thesis you will use and further develop a code based on
so-called Matrix-Product
States and the
Quantum
Master Equation to
calculate the properties of electrons moving across a correlated
impurity ( a simple model for a quantum dot)
Transport
in correlated interfaces and heterostructures
Here you will use and
further develop a code within Dynamical
Mean-Field theory to treat correlated heterostructures out of
equilibrium
Machine
learning approaches for nonequilibrium impurity problems
The
approaches used in the above
projects require the solution of so called impurity problems that
are quite computationally demanding. Here yo will devise and develop
efficient methods and strategies based on machine learning to
use the available data to extrapolate to parameters ranges more
difficult to access with standard approches. This part will be
carried out in combination with one of the above projects.
