Defect Chemistry and Spectroscopy

Defect Chemistry and Spectroscopy

The Defect chemistry and Spectroscopy group's aim is to develop multi-scale simulation techniques for point defects and related topics, and to apply them to problems in functional materials design.

Code development

An important activity is to maintain and extend our in-house DFT library S/PHI/nX. Recent achievements include

  • phonon interpolation for ionic systems with anisotropic Born charges
  • atomic spin constraints
  • optimized key routines (FFT-based convolution, reciprocal space projection) to improve performance on modern multi-core, vectorized CPUs

Multi-scale method development

Applications

We work in the following application fields:

  •     GaN-based alloys for high-performance LEDs
  •     thin film solar cell materials
  •     oxides & corrosion
