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.

  • Purely Dynamic Skyrmion Phase discovered

    In a recent article published in Physical Review Letters (Phys. Rev. Lett. 137, 026703 (2026)), a collaboration of scientists from Turkey, the UK and the Nanomagnetism group at nanoGUNE have discovered a non-equilibrium skyrmion phase that has no equilibrium equivalent but is instead...Read more
