Senior postdoctoral researcher - Theoretical and Computational Nanoscience per al ICN2 - Institut Català de Nanociència i Nanotecnologia

The TCN group has a successful track record of analysing electrical, thermal, and spin transport in materials with disorder and defects using highly efficient linear-scaling numerical methods. This project aims to advance the group's in-house simulation tools to explore the transport of orbital angular momentum, its interaction with the spin degrees of freedom in complex topological materials, investigate the nonequilibrium dynamics of strongly optically and thermally excited carriers, and examine the charge spin and orbital transport properties of models for 2D materials driven out of equilibrium to contribute to the development of novel optical and thermal detectors based on 2D materials.

Main Tasks and responsibilities:

• Develop linear scaling methods to investigate the dynamics of excited carriers and the effects of the interplay between charge, heat, and light on the transport properties of disordered nanomaterials.
• Contribute to optimizing the in-house code LSQUANT and its extension to explore nonequilibrium dynamics.
• Extend the current functionalities of LSQUANT to study the orbital transport and its interaction with the spins in magnetic materials.
• Preparation of scientific reports, journal articles, and software documentation.
• Explore the effects of light and heat on the modulation of the topological properties of quantum materials.

Deadline for applications: 10/12/2024
