Materials-specific Theory for Interface and Nanophysics

Electronic structure calculations are a versatile tool in many areas of condensed matter and materials physics. They directly access the microscopic level and, when properly applied, give valuable information, completementary to experiment. In this respect they often contribute to a coherent indistance. Moreover, such methods have a great flexibility, as they can be applied to virtually every material.

Interface and nano-physics are burgeoning areas of physics, with hold great promis for the future. This programme aims to further physics in these field.

Besides the abovementioned research activities, the programme offers a counter for the whole Dutch condensed matter community, to offer support with electronic structure calculations.

In this programme the computational physics groups at the UT and RU participate.
