The Theory and Simulation of Materials
Department of Materials
Imperial College is ranked the fifth best university in the world (Times Higher QS World University Rankings 2007).
Applications are invited for PhD studentships starting in October 2008 in the theory and simulation of materials at Imperial College London. You will be participants in the Thomas Young Centre – London Centre for Theory and Simulation of Materials http://www.thomasyoungcentre.org, which offers a stimulating research environment spanning the London colleges with a programme of graduate lectures, discussion meetings and seminars. Many projects are interdisciplinary and supervised by two academic staff members.
Our main research activities are in the following areas:
- Development and applications of first-principles (ab initio) methods for simulating at the atomic scale, including linear-scaling methods for large systems, polarisation, molecular dynamics and thermodynamics
- Development of semi-empirical methods of atomistic simulation, with applications to complex and amorphous structures, defects and interfaces in materials
- Modeling of novel nanoscale electronic and mechanical devices, eg, electronic noses and gas sensors; thermoelectrics; thermal rectifiers, mechanical oscillators, actuators, and bearings
- Modeling of defect behavior in structural materials for, eg, hydrogen fusion power plants
- Modeling of spectroscopic and spectrometric techniques (eg, NMR, SIMS)
- Applications to nanomaterials and nanotechnology
- Applications to biomaterials
