Award Description: This grant supports primarily computational research on the properties of strongly interacting systems of electrons in one- and two-dimensions, with particular application to nanodevices and superconducting materials. The behavior of electrons when they are confined in these small spaces and when they are very close to each other can lead to novel effects. This grant supports work that will develop computational techniques to describe these effects. In addition to discovering and understanding novel properties, which may lead to new devices, the computational techniques developed will find wide application in other fields of study. This is the power of developing computational methods in one field that can be applied to many other applications. Students involved in this research will receive excellent training in condensed matter physics and computational physics.
