1. Modelling and Simulation of Systems and Properties of matter in the nanoscale

This area of research includes the following research lines:

A.-Confinement-related Phenomena : Reactivity, magnetism, optoelectronics and Quantum Photonics.
B.- Transport and Conduction.
C.- Surface Effects.
D.- Electronic Structure and Excitations.
E.- Bose-Einstein Condensates and Quantum Confined gases.

The theoretic simulation of real systems by means of several techniques derived from Quantum Mechanics must enable researchers to predict the properties of new materials under development. This predictive quality is essential in the creation of theoretic models, so that these can be applied successfully to confined Quantum gases, or to such fields as photonics, optoelectronics, molecular motors, catalysis and magneto-optics. On the other hand, the theoretic, idealised models that are to replace the much more complex systems we find in reality must prove useful when it comes to the general comprehension of whatever phenomena are under study. These models must also be of help in the establishment of general rules which can guide specialists further in the design of new systems.

This research area is composed of the following research groups:

    1. Theoretical physics and nanoscopic systems
    2. Materials: phase transitions
    3. Statistical Physics of nanosystems
