Modelado de la estructura electrónica con función de densidad de electrones estrictamente correlacionada

DFG_logo

Programa específico: Fundación Alemana de Investigación (DFG Research Fellowship)
UPV/EHU: Centro de acogida
Supervisor de la UPV/EHU: Angel Rubio
Inicio del proyecto: 01/11/2015
Fin del proyecto: 31/10/2017

Breve descripción: Una de las principales actividades de investigación del grupo se centra en la descripción de los primeros principios de los procesos inducidos por la luz en nanoestructuras moleculares y sólidos. Estos esfuerzos se realizan en el marco de la teoría de los funcionales de densidad dependientes del tiempo. Sin embargo, el poder predictivo del modelo depende en gran medida de la calidad de los funcionales de intercambio y correlación que utilizamos. El proyecto del investigador asociado de la DFG tiene como objetivo proporcionar nuevos funcionales capaces de capturar fuertes efectos de correlación que nos permitan tratar adecuadamente muchos procesos, desde la transferencia de carga hasta la fotofragmentación y las transiciones de fase inducidas por la luz. Esta línea de investigación encaja muy bien con las actividades del grupo de investigación dedicado a los fundamentos de la teoría del funcional de la densidad dependiente del tiempo y las teorías de muchos cuerpos con aplicaciones a materiales 2D, biofísica e interacción materia-luz fuerte y teoría de control óptimo.
