Research Expertise and Interest
Theory of nanomaterials

Research Description
Research in the Rabani group involves the development of theoretical and computational tools to investigate fundamental properties of nanostructures, spanning structural, electronic and optical properties of nanocrystals, doping of nanoparticles, exciton and multiexciton dynamics at the nanoscale, localization of charge carrier in nanomaterials, charge and energy transfer at the nanoscale, and transport in correlated nano-junctions. Much of this relies on the development of stochastic electronic structure techniques to describe the ground and excited state properties in large-scale nanostructures. In addition, the group has pioneered real-time approaches to nonequilibrium many-body quantum dynamics to describe quantum liquid and glasses and to explore electron-electron and electron-phonon interactions in nano-junctions.
