NEW!!!
TRNM09
Workshop
in Lapland
Dec. 2009

• Materials Physics Division, University of Helsinki, and
• Laboratory of Physics, Helsinki University of Technology .

Top of the page

My present scientific interests include:

• Atomistic simulations of various bulk and nano systems at empirical potential, tight-binding and density-functional theory levels;
• Interaction of energetic particles with nanosystems;
• Defects in carbon nanotubes; effects of the irradiation on the mechanical and electronic properties of carbon nanotubes;
• Magnetism in carbon systems doped with non-magnetic impurities such as nitrogen and hydrogen;
• Plastic deformation in metal nano-single crystals and nano-structured metals;
• Theory of scanning tunneling microscope (STM); simulation of STM images of surfaces with various atomic-scale defects.

My previous scientific interests:

• Classical and quantum computing in solid-state systems;
• Electronic transport in nanosystems (quantum cascade lasers, resonant-tunneling structures);
• Mechanisms of superconductivity in high-temperature superconductors, the effects of defects and nonmagnetic impurities on superconductivity in high-temperature superconductors;
• Physics of atomic and semiconductor clusters;
