We all work in the development of simulation techniques and in their application to different problems, as well as in theoretical models to understand the simulation and experimental results. Topics include:
- Computational and theoretical condensed matter physics.
- Complex solids and liquids, using first-principles molecular dynamics based on density-functional theory and on linear-scaling density-functional theory.
- Nanoscale oxide heterostructures including multiferroics, liquid water, and water/solid interfaces, and non-adiabatic processes related to radiation damage of materials.

Breaking Ohm’s Law: Nonlinear Currents Emerge in Symmetry-Broken Materials
The Nanodevices group at CIC nanoGUNE shows that breaking a material’s inversion symmetry can shatter Ohm’s law, unleashing powerful nonlinear phenomena. Their review, just published in Nature Materials, maps this emerging landscape and points toward a…Read more
