Rolando Saniz Balderrama
- Research Expertise:Theoretical modeling of materials, focusing on their structural and electronic characteristics in order to determine and understand their optical, magnetic, and charge transport properties.
- Keywords:QUANTUM MECHANICAL HAMILTONIAN, MATERIAL PROPERTIES, THEORETICAL STUDY, Physics (incl. astronomy)
- Disciplines:Electronic (transport) properties, Magnetism and superconductivity, Nanophysics and nanosystems, Optical properties and interactions with radiation, Semiconductors and semimetals, Structural and mechanical properties, Surfaces, interfaces, 2D materials
- Research techniques:First-principles computational techniques based on density functional theory, as well as analytical techniques. The computational tools used include codes specific for materials modeling (VASP, ABINIT), as well as general purpose numerical computing environments (MATLAB); self-developed parallel computing codes based on Fortran90 and Message Passing Interface (MPI).
- Users of research expertise:Condensed matter physicists, chemists, materials scientists, spectroscopists (electron, optical, x-ray, phonon).
