2. Theoretical Descriptions of Complex Magnetism in Transition Metals and Their Alloys
Abstract : In this thesis, various methods for studying solids by simulations of quantummechanical equations, have been applied to transition metals and their alloys. Transition metals such as Fe, Ni, and Mn, are not only cornerstones in modern technology, but also key components in the very fabric of the Earth interior. READ MORE

5. Development and applications of theoretical algorithms for simulations of materials at extreme conditions
Abstract : Materials at extreme conditions exhibit properties that differ substantially from ambient conditions. High pressure and high temperature expose anharmonic, non-linear behavior, and can provoke phase transitions among other effects. Experimental setups to study that sort of effects are typically costly and experiments themselves are laborious. READ MORE
