About the course
The research interests of the CM group are diverse, reflecting the breadth of the largest subfield in physics. Currently, the core strengths revolve around understanding the fundamental physics of nanostructured metal, semiconductor, and organic materials, including their deposition and formation mechanisms, surface, interface, and structural properties, ultrafast and nonlinear optical properties, theoretical investigation of materials using a variety of computational tools ranging from Density Functional Theory to Quantum Monte Carlo and applications in quantum information science. These studies are primarily inspired by the potential uses of these materials in the design and fabrication of next-generation nanoelectronic, opto-electronic, and optical and nano-optical devices, including quantum devices.
