Funded Activity Summary

Ab initio Theory in Complex Materials and Surfaces: Prediction and Design of Functional Structures. Using state-of-the-art first-principles theory, this project involves the study of complex materials and surfaces which are central to areas of high technological interest, namely, high temperature ferromagnetic semiconductor materials for spintronics, nitride-based structures for optoelectronic devices, nanocomposites for protective coatings, as well as heterogeneous oxidation catalysis. It will provide fundamental knowledge and understanding on the atomic level, and will facilitate the design and development of functional materials and surfaces of relevance to industry.
