Research:
The general theme of my research is the study of electronic, transport and mechanical properties of nanoscale systems by Tight-Binding and ab-initio methods, and Molecular Dynamics. My specific research interests are:
- Thermoelectric effects in nanoscale
- Effect of interaction and disorder on the ground state of the 2D electron gas.
- Ferromagnetism in fullerenes
- Magnetism and Spin dynamics (vortex and ferromagnetic phases) in quantum dots.
- Study of thermodynamic properties of clusters and their abundance.
- Calculation of transport properties of doped nanotubes.
- Formation process of carbon nanotubes.
- Quantum transport in disordered wires and nanoelectronic device design.
