We study theoretically the atomic structure and novel electronic properties of low-dimensional electronic systems, such as atomic wires self-assembled on semiconductor surfaces or layered transition metal dichalcogenides. Our theoretical investigation uses primarily density-functional theory calculations and tight-binding calculations. We are especially interested in charge-density-wave systems and/or low-dimensional topological materials.
We are looking for competent postdoctoral research fellows who majored in theoretical condensed-matter physics or who got PhD degree in theoretical high-energy physics and are now interested in condensed-matter systems.
